19 MAR 2014 LJ report - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

619-SWIM-DOG · 03-19-2014, 01:26 PM

Well hit LJ today, got into the water around 0630. Made my way out and got bait shortly after crossing the Border. I worked the area out from the condo building around 100-120 ft. I got a couple rock fish and a sculpin. I moved over to this kelp pad that was about 15-20 ft round. I did some Yo-Yo just for practice to figure out how fast to reel. After that I went around the Kelp. Then my fly lined pacific mack takes a hit. I couple of hard taps. At first I thought it was a dog messing with my bait. I reeled up the line and then it got heavy and thats when the fight was on. He took off towards the kelp but I made sure he didn't get in there. This was my second time to LJ. Beginners luck I guess. After that I headed in and was at my truck by 1030.
He came in at 29.5 lbs. Got him weighed at Dana Landing.
