LJ 10/8 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Iceman · 10-09-2015, 10:31 AM

Launched solo into ankle slappers just a little before 1st light and headed to the pier to find it void of bait. Could not find any up that way, so headed SW. Finally with only 2 greenbacks I decided to go fishing and worry about more bait if and when I needed. Lots of floating kelp and grass, headed out to 200 feet to avoid the floating stuff and the lobster pots. Around the 3/4 decided to head in a little shallower. Water was 71-72.4 degrees and pretty clean (use flouro)140 feet got tagged on the greenback and stuck a teen yt for dinner. Second bait out was picked up by a good sized bonito. Dropped the sabiki on clouds and dropped the jig on marks on the slow ride in. Humpback whale did a full breach out over the canyon really close to a kayaker. On my way, right in front of me, humpback came up fully out of the water in 80 feet. Pulled out the camera and waited, he surfaced a few times but no more breach. Headed in to easy waves and just a few rentals and tourists on the beach.

3 Go Pros......might as well use em
