LJ 6-21 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Looked for ya Matt, no vhf. Launch was ankle slapping good times. Bait all over the place. Spent most of the day outside looking for yellow. Saw one fish come up about 20 feet off my left side chomping on the heels of a mack across the surface. Got an iron on it immediately but gone.

Later on I saw a silvery fish about 2ft long launching itself out of the water repeatedly. Couldn't figure it out. I've never seen a yellowtail jump like that, it was like how carp flop themselves out of the water. Not sure what else it could've been.

Fog rolled in quick around 10am, bringing a strong change in wind direction and swell direction. Without gps or a compass you could've got into trouble.
