Threshers this weekend NPH? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

PapaDave · 07-17-2012, 06:38 AM

We were doing fairly well at DP about a week and a half ago fly lining sardines and trolling green/gold mac rapalas, cd-14 and cd-18. We hooked up to 10 of them in two outings but we got skunked last Saturday.

It was a lot of fun though.

Tail snag ratio was high, nothing else hit the CD's. The sardines were another matter, had some juvie WSB and Calico's hitting those.

i troll or drift live macs. use an 8/0 octopus inline circle by gamakatsu and nose hook them. as long as they're big enough to eat the bait its a 100% lip hook.

When I get a chance I want some help to catch an actually fighting thresher.
I have only caught little tiny babies I want something 40# plus!!!

Fishing an incoming tide at NPH for threshers is usually slow for me, but i heard inside of the LB breakwall has T's that flow in with the incoming tide. i'll be out in belmont shores on friday morning to look for sharks.

my rig: any big reel that could hold 200+yd of 50-80# spectra. a walmart steel rockfish rig ($1.50). the rig has 2 snap swivels... bottom snap swivel gets the 4oz torpedo. top snap swivel gets the 6/0 circle hook with a mac pinned on it.
