LJ - 09/15 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

went out today about 900 and it was nice out there. Lots of life on the water. A lot of mac schools, I think they were macs? Saved them for bait but they died in the bait tube. So chopped them up for kelp fishing. Threw an iron on light tackle by the schools and hooked up, 45 min fight later sanpped the line.... Switched to the heavy tackle and same thing again. 30 min later had what ever it was near the yak and it broke away, in front of the condo. It was diving straight down... Not side to side. It almost pulled me out of the yak on 65 lb braid with a 30 lb leader. Nice out there today. Was using blue/white irons with squid, they were biting. Lost a small iron on the 20 lb line. Caught a few spotties and called it a day. Saw a large man of war on the way to the bouy.
