Stomach Contents - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Bob - They could have been langostino. This was about 5 years ago and I had only been fishing for a short time and bugging a couple times so I guess I could have been confused. Good point.

Mike - Sick story! Good info on the digestion rate. Where'd you come up with that? Educated guess? I would have thought it takes much longer for a meal to digest but have nothing to back that up.

Last summer I caught a YT full of squid and one sanddab. The yellow was caught on the surface, w a flylined greenie, in the kelp. This fish had clearly been eating on the bottom outside of the kelp forest. The next week I went out a couple times to conduct an expiriment. I covered some ground in areas near my previous catch that seemed like they would hold squid nests and dabs. Spent a ton of time looking at the fish finder. My hope was to be the first one to my own secret squid bite. Never found a nest and didn't get any results. Anyone else use this strategy and come up with good results or do you guys think it's a waste of time?

If you are really interested in stomach contents, digestion, etc. contact Dos Ballenas on here, Owyn would love to talk guts and intestines with you.
Or better yet if you see him on the hook at two in the morning camped out on a squid bed asleep just peddle over and wake him he'll love it....
