I know that school would have passed me by with smirks on their faces. I have a hard enough time casting iron with my jig stick, let alone on a 7 ft rod with spectra and a long leader. That's where the skills come into play..

I agree, I have been practicing casting my 8ft rod from my kayak for the the last 5 years and I do ok. every time Josh cast my jig stick it goes flying almost out of site without a trace of bird nest. And don't know how he does it, but that dude can flat out blast the cast!

So did you get any bait?

I read through before scrolling down and literally muttered, "I hate this guy" because I knew the story was going to be accompanied with a picture of something special.

Good going, man. (I don't really hate you.)

Way to make the most of what you got with you.

Surprisingly enough, bait has been the most challenging part of the day lately. I guess it depends on what type of bait you're looking for. I managed about five more pieces before I returned to the kelp.

Exellent write-up.

I'm one of those 'minimalist' myself. Got caught with my shorts down once too many times.

Now I leave nothing out of the quiver. Thanks for sharing.

Nice! I was out last thursday mid-morning and had a school breeze by me and start puddling within casting distance... Unfortunately I was about 300 yds into the reserve

Scored a jigstick at Fred Hall. Gino helped me find a deal. Thanks bro.

Unfortunately the only reel I have for it at the moment is a penn 500, but what the hell, its a step in the right direction. A bigger concern than distance and backlash is having yellowtail pooling and I don't even know they're there.

One step at a time I guess.
