First YT of 2015 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

619-SWIM-DOG · 02-16-2015, 02:27 PM

Scored this am in LJ. Launched at 615 to small waves but easy enough to put the drive in and peddle out. I made bait easy and educated someone about the reserve and location to start fishing (line the palm tree up with the flag pole). After that I headed out deep around 180-190ft with a flyline Mac. As soon as I got out there my reel goes off and the fight is on. I got him up and hit him with the kage. Done deal
Right after that a seal showed up, not today brother. I decided to call it a short day on my way in I dropped off my bait with a couple that was out fishing. I was loaded up and driving home at 945. Came in at 19.4lbs still haven't gone past the 20lb club but I'll take a 19.4lb any day.

On the flyline

Skip both winter and spring, and jump right into summer !

Deep yoyo is fun, but lots of work. Time to break out the lighter irons

Nice work brother

There's my motivation right there. Skunked Saturday. Going out tomorrow!!

Way to go Nick. Fish killer! I would've put a 1# torpedo in its gut. No shame in my game. Jim

Nice catch especially on a short trip. I didn't have the same luck. I think I need to get some new sabiki's and especially some with smaller hooks. Kept getting hit by the macs but had a hard time hooking them because they were smaller them I usually get. paddled all around all the areas out to 200 feet and even tried trolling a Rapala and YO YO the iron but no Love. There's always next trip, soon.

Have you tried the Owner Hooks Sabiki Chum bucket? These work great for me
Chum Bucket

FISH11 · 02-16-2015, 05:53 PM

I think I have. It's just time to restock on new ones but also the different sizes. I used to use the smaller ones but was always getting bigger bait with the larger ones. Now I need to carry several sizes to match the bait. Too bad you couldn't make out today.

kayakfisherman · 02-16-2015, 09:11 PM

On a flyline?? That's just not right. I wonder if it's time
to start throwing the surface iron. Wow. Beautiful Fish!!

19.4 may not be over 20, BUT I'd take that every/any day of the week!

Helping educate someone about the reserve was probably part Karma. Well done Sir.

Congrats on your first

of 2015.

Congrats on the catch yesterday. It was slim pickings out there. Finally got one towards very end of the day. But the weather was epic.
