Asuncion Thanksgiving - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

rossman · 11-26-2015, 02:57 AM

Finding some quality yellows continues to be a problem here in Asuncion. Yesterday our fleet of 2 kayakers and 5 Hobies hit the spot where 4 of us landed in excess of 30 yellows the day before. The area was void of the right kind and pretty disappointing. We were treated to three more close by humpback breaches with one swimming within 20 yards of Kevins Hobie. While everyone headed back to the ramp, I decided to take a road less traveled and hit one more spot on the other side of the island. That spot was on fire and managed to land 7 YT and 2 skipjack in a little over an hour, including this nice 45 incher.P1000697~2.jpg

Post some more when you can, looks like better fishing than what we have up here right now.

Despite the predicted high winds and swell, Sven, Kevin, Richard and I hit the water early on Black Friday. Turned out to be a decent day with lots of action on Yellowtail, sierra and bass. I managed to catch a gorgeous 27 lb Leopard grouper. Sorry for the dirty camera lens. I had not caught a grouper here in Asuncion since I got here and this week we got two. Richard landed a nice 35 pound Yellowtail.

Gulf grouper. Nice one. I'm envious. Bet it ate well.

Actually, that's a broomtail grouper. Nice one! Looks like an amazing fishery.
