10/17 DP yellowtail - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Nice catch Andy. You (and Zed) inspired me to spend 5 hours in that area today with sardines and I only caught bonita on the flyline and some fat bass near the bottom. Do you add any weight to your flyline? I added a 1oz slider so it stayed down a bit as I trolled around. Maybe I'm doing it wrong, or just unlucky! I might go back out tomorrow. Good job!

Nice man. You are motivating me to get out on the water.

Alan, no weight on the line, #2 live bait hook and 30# line. Changed out my bait every 15 minutes or so if it did not get ripped sooner, to keep a feisty one out there.

#2 or 2/0? #2 seems too small for the dines. I've been using a 1/0. Thanks for the info!

people are always questioning my hook selection, surprised at how small I match my baits with, #2 worked

Great job on the oc yellow, Iceman.

And momo_fish is right, that kayak matches the fish exactly.
