LJ 10/12 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

captainbarky · 10-15-2019, 11:31 AM

I'm the chap on the beach. I didn't catch anything that day but did see a nice 30-40lb YT in 13ft of water just inside from the caves in the protected zone. I suppose it didn't get that big being dumb.

Not to derail the thread, but I'm curious, what's your cruising speed on the TI when using pedals and under sail with decent wind? This question also applies to anyone in other boats. I'm usually good around 3kts on the PA 14 and don't feel too worn. I haven't used anything other than a PA 12/14 so I have little to compare.

I put a 2.5 Honda on my ti. Used u bolts and some other hardware to make a transom that sits in the middle. Launch from mission bay.

Hi Barky - thanks again for educating me on the ling. The cabezons in puget sound Edmonds underwater park are like 50lbs and have a similar prehistoric look to them. Good thing this one was big because i was looking at the 15" limit not the 22"!

I cruise at 3-4mph with a single set of turbo finned GT drive. I have hit 10mph with good wind but that is about the hull speed limit and i was getting good pucker factor as the ama dug into the water

.

With a partner I don't see more than 5mph without wind unless we are trying to sprint.
