LJ 5-8 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

steamroll · 05-08-2007, 08:49 AM

Launched at 4am, small yet annoying surf. Made bait at the pier. Saw a flying fish swimming around in the pier lights

Mostly greenbacks at the pier with a few spanish mixed in.

Trolled my way across the canyon and outside to the kelp. Bait was busting everywhere. Birds were crashing the surface but never in a big group.

Casted my surface iron into a boil and hooked a bigger model cuda before donating it to the tax man.

It looks very fishy out there, I may head back out this afternoon for a PM sesh.

I saw the dog eating your fish, didn't recognize you on the dark green WS yak. Lots of bait around but the right kind wouldn't bite for me. Couldn't even get a calico on my way back in.

Thanks for the report! I am headed out this afternoon, hopefully the tourists aren't in full force.. just love when the parents let their kids build sand castles at the launch ramp....

Yea, It appeared promising this morning, with pleanty of bait, warming waters and all.But for me just no go. Slow trolled around for yellows to come up from 6:00am to 10:00, then called it a day!
