LJ Sat.5.12.07 Mr.Yellow and Mr. T - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

dorado50 · 05-14-2007, 07:55 AM

Early start today . Lots of bait at pier. Got out to the NW corner and thought there was a tourney going on, so much traffic. Made my way around away from the congestion and found a spot that seemed fishy to me. Around the time the sun comes out so do the fish. Caught the 11# yellow

off the bottom and soon as I re-bait and lower the rig and the reel starts screaming and I watch this big threasher grayhound across the water right in front of me. Well that turned off the y-tail bite! Tire him out in about fifty minutes, bring him over to the side and cut leader at the hook. Pulled like a yellowfin, I'll say he weighed at least 75 to 85#

Sunday was like a ghost town out there, very strange. Only thing for me was another small thresher about 50# he to was released at the boat.

Caught me off guard... It's a report for saturday and you are speaking in the present tense but you typed to report today.. Anyhow, way to go on the multi fish day. I went out after work on Saturday. Saw Brad loading up as I was unloading. Got a not-so-inspiring report on conditions and even a "what a waste of time"... He was right. On top of forgeting to put the head unit of my ff/gps on the kayak, it was windy and choppy with a good swell. Must of been better earlier. Hopefully I can get out by the end of the week to scout and prefish... Way to go on the multi big game fish day..
