Not at all! Had 6 live Mackeral in 5 minutes. It's was a super easy day, too easy lol I'm sure I'm destined to get skunked the next few trips now

Congratulations! Every fish you learn something new... the first fish you learn about 100 new things.

I'm guessing by now you have realized that your cooler is way too small.

LEEZO · 03-27-2017, 07:25 PM

great job on your first one!

ater22 · 03-27-2017, 10:44 PM

You just gotta go out there a try. I'm a Marine stationed out here and have never been offshore Kayak fishing before. To be honest I really didn't have a clue what I was doing. I just watched a bunch of YouTube videos and went from there. I caught some bait, (don't even have a bait tank yet, put them in a laundry bag hanging off the side) hooked one up and thew it over the side. I forgot my battery to my fishfinder, so I just kinda followed other Kayaks out there. I was crusing along trying to catch more bait with another rod with a Sabiki and WAM! I was in shock it happened so quick. Fought for a good 15 - 20 minutes. Can't wait to go back when I have the chance.

Haha absoutley! One of my next purchases is going to be a big catch bag. I literally had to carry it in my arms like a drunk friend from the bar on the way back. Thank god I bought a Hobie
