Report 5-10 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

lamb · 05-11-2007, 08:03 AM

It was sloppy on Thursday, windy, cloudy… NW was blowing…

I timed horribly and almost got yanked out of my seat with one 2+ fter that broke on me…

The bait was easy at the pier once it got gray - the greenies woke up.

That brownish poop looking water was back from the reserve line to about ½… Further down South it was greenish. Visibility was about 10ft, with areas that had less than that.

Bait is still all over. Water was 62.

At 6:30 AM, I ran into a small school of yellas, maybe 6-7 fish. As my kayak slapped the surface, they got disturbed and started cooking no more than 15 meters away… I shot Salas B&W 7x in a perfect cast… Got 2 followers and 1 bump. 2nd cast I got one to stick… It started peeling drag then came unbuttoned after 30 secs. I had a good look at it exploding on my jig – 10#ish class.

Swell was much better back on the beach with low Tide. Met the old school kayakers Tobey and his friend Mailman Jim. Sure thing, Jim had a nice 12# YT. Here’s a picture, as requested.
