October Sleigh Ride - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Nice fish. YT are the one inshore fish, that I target, that I would not mind a bit stiffer rod for. Btw, finesse is what my tournament LMB buddy does with 4 and 6 lb test. I just take my time and enjoy the fight. That and try not to get in my own way by being unprepared or getting over excited. Although it does not always go down that way (especially with a downrigger to deal with

).

This was on a greenback mackerel. If you are fishing with a mackerel and you're in 100' of water, you have a chance! Dont be scared to use a big bait.

Nice day on the water, I really need to dial in my fish finder. I read the book and sit out there and just seems like I can't get it right. I have a lowrance hdi 4 with down scan as well. Nice yellow and great gaff shot.

Your expression was very serious and intense. There was never any doubt that fish was yours! Nice quiet confidence, and great gaff!

Like many, I watch most of your videos and can really appreciate the sportsmanship of using lighter tackle. You make it look easy because you trust in all your gear and know just how hard you can pull on it.

50 lb mono is fun though... It allows you to use a stiff rod and really bounce the fish up. You can load up that mono and just sling your boat forward. Plus it's just so frustrating in LJ lately the dogs have been on point.

Nice video!
We talked otw for a minute when you were heading in about the scarcity of bait. I only found one greenie. Fishing sucked for me but it was a beautiful day.
Congrats on your that YT!
