LJ 8-9 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

It's just that time of year again - LOTS of YT early with the action slowing down by 9am. All the fish I got into I saw finning in a circle off in the distance (glassy). They stayed on top until I paddled over and I usually had 1 or 2 chances at jig tosses before they sunk out. I got within 5-10 feet of one school and had time to reel in my bait fish and throw it at 'em. Instant hook up (I lost it almost as fast).

The PM guys may have some trouble since it was all sight fishing. Nothing touched my bait on the troll ... but you never know. Good luck out there.
