Finally, after 3 yrs! LJ 6/9 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

It's good to know that my "first true fish report" (on time) helped a brother out. The bay isn't going anywhere and as you saw the conditions weren't half bad. Small surf, light wind, plenty of bait, and oh yeah, those pesky Yellowtail. All that time it took for your first Yellowtail will simply add to your appreciation for all the rest. Good going on the iron (my favorite), as it pays to keep your eyes open. I was in the distance and saw you catch your fish, so thank you for locating the school.

Well, the fish gods didn't smile on the two guys in the PB, but as soon as that noisy boat left I found a school to myself.
One piece of advice would be "never leave fish when they are biting", unless you're late for work. It may have taken you three
years to land your first Yellowtail, but it would of taken you ten minutes to catch your second if you stayed out.

Great story, thanks! And congrats on the tail, it is a great feeling of accomplishment when you do it all yourself and it works out!

Nice fight with that fish. When I hooked up
right before you, I was hoping to get this
yellow skunk off of me that I have been having.
Again I caught another toothy fish. Then as
I'm retying I see you hook up.

Congrats on your first kayak yellow and
may there be many more.
