Just In Time!! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

TCS · 01-01-2010, 07:09 AM

We spoke when you were paddling out and I was going in. I don't have a fish finder and had just spent a couple of hours chasing currents and getting blown off them as soon as I stopped paddling. It was a good day for the hobie and I had some serious boat-envy on the way in. You were kicking back smoking a ciggy on the Revo, just slicing out through the chop.

Good job using your sonar to find the fish. The guys that get good at that catch a LOT more fish. Just having the sonar doesn't seem to do it. You also have to put your boat over a fish and know how to recognize it. Time on the water.

Congratulations

now that is the way to end the year!
perseverance pays off...FINALLY!
WOW...sounds like you REALLY deserved that fish...

oh...
and as for the shooting of the black tar...
there would be no fishing going on!
aren't there some kind of meetings for that?
