Dana pt 7/13 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

FishNinjaY · 07-13-2013, 10:11 PM

I was out there with my son, and Honcho and his boy, yesterday afternoon (Fri).

Beautiful day on the water, but hardly any bites at all. On our way back in, I got hit big on my last sardine. Fought it for 30min

, my first-ever big fish on the yak.. and it popped off. I have gopro video of my noobie fish-fighting failure..

Sounds like you had a better day! Thanks for the report.

Its only a failure if you give up. He will be waiting for you when you go back out.

thanks for the report. some days i wish i could have a nice drag peeler. i would want to say maybe its a thresher or a mako that snapped you off.

as for the pipe break off with major rake marks, i've had plenty of ling cod that would short bite me. i opted to use a trap rig for the lings if i'm using a bait bigger than 6". i've never fished DP before but from the sounds of the reports, i really want to give it a shot

dont want to hijack hondatoms thread...

maybe.. guy on ramp said might be mako.. but I'm thinking it might have been a batray. I never saw anything break the water, .. didn't even see any color.. and I was only in about 35ft of water. That's my guess..

Maybe I'll post up a short report with video later. Maybe someone else can tell...

Happy Sunday...
