SAN QUINTIN HALIBUT Tourney 24 June - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Tourney day in San Quintin. Miserable conditions this morning. A cool wind, heavy mist That may as well be called rain, and extreme low tide made for a tough morning of fishing. Due to the tide, I had to s
og through 300 yards of 3 inch water and 3 inch mud just to get my kayak to float. My usual spots were almost unfishable due to the wind, waves and tidal currents. I ended up tying off to various hard points on a floating boat house, a grounded panga and a sunken sail boat and just fan casting the area. Ended up with 3 halibut. Caught the largest one at about 10:00 and called it a day. Stopped off at Don Eddies to have Makobob measure it and then got cleaned up and had a siesta. In the lead at noon but the tourney closes at 6:00 pm.IMG_20170624_114524 (2).jpg
