Flying fish Flying sharks and calicos - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

With all the warm water n exotics around last summer I expected to see flying fish in LJ. But didn't. Fliers are fun to see getting chased around. Time to fish the skip jig. Thanks for the report. Mike

Saw two or three flying fish over the canyon and down by blacks two weeks ago when I was out.

What kind of skip jig do you use? I use a big popper or top water wax wing right now

Saw a flying fish at DP last weekend, mixed in with the massive school of anchovies.

I was offshore in my friend's RIB a few years ago. We scared some flying fish fry, and one of them leapt out of the water and landed right on the cushion next to me. It was about an inch long, and otherwise perfectly formed. Really cool looking little guy. I let him go so that the swords would have something to eat.

Have never seen them here but used to see big schools
all the time when I lived in Australia. So cool and always a good sign that Marlin were around. They love them.
Maybe some lucky kayaker will hook up to a Marlin this summer.
