LJ 8/30 Late Report - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

SorryCharlie · 09-05-2014, 05:59 PM

Hit the jewel on Saturday morning around 6:30am. Launch was easy, and so was bait. Water was 74 later in the day, with a nice current.

With a full tank of greenies I headed to the fishing grounds and within a hour hooked up on a little 4-6 lb yellow. Released him, as I was in search of his bigger brother.

Hook up again, feels small again and due to me setting the drag to tight (didn't check it like I usually do before fishing

) I pulled the hook.

Continue on and just after 12 the reel starts screaming again. Put the reel in gear and its on. This one has a bit more weight and I am hopeful this is what I was waiting for. After about 20 minutes I landed my PB yellow! Just over 25 lbs on the digi scale.
