Big swell bugs - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Sherm · 12-29-2009, 08:54 AM

Got on the water last night after work for some yak buggin with my buddy Theo (knotmyfish) The big swell made for some interesting hooping on the yaks.....but it was a beautiful night with a big moon and no wind at all. We had to paddle out against the tide (which sucked) but it was a nice sunset as we were leaving the channel and the anticipation of hoops stuffed with bugs made the paddle worth it..

A few sneaker sets of waves came through and made things interesting. I have never seen the waves break close to where we were like that. A little bit of a pucker factor but I think it helped the buggin. Hooped until 10pm and managed

:lobs ter:

Theo wasn't doing as well so I gave him some super secret bait and he got a couple of keepers after that.

The paddle back was uneventful and very quiet. Just an awesome night with a good fishing buddy, cigar, cervesa, big moon, no wind and BUGS!!!!!!!

Nice Job Sherm. The back is slow healing. Gotta get it drained today. Hopefully in a couple of weeks. I saw the tidal swings that have been going on and knew it was going to be a good time to go.

Hope you feel better soon bro. The buggin has been pretty good lately.

I don't know what's prettier - the color of the sky or the color of your haul Scott
