LJ PM SHIFT 6-7-07 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Holy Mackerel · 06-08-2007, 06:26 AM

Doesn't anyone post reports any more?

lol

Hit the PM shift with my "old lady" It was my only way to get out last night, as I am on the Islander this weekend... j/k Actually, I was hoping to put her on a nice fish...

Sloppy, windy conditions, surf was up, but crumbly... Bait in the kelp, below, FishinTrish makes bait near the kelps...

We head out to the spot, about 6:45pm.... my bottom bait feels snagged on the bottom.. wait a minute it is pulling back... FISH ON!

Ended up being a Firecracker WSB at 25lbs 3oz

Landed around sunset... nice evening on the water, had some fresh panko WSB...

Thanks for the report! Can't beat an evening with your gal and you get to catch fish. I'd take a firecracker wsb, hope I can get back out there soon. Good luck on the Islander trip.

It's cheating to bring the good luck charm, even if you launch her right into a set

. Nice whitey.

Dogs were out in force last night. Hooked one on a weighted pornstar and he promptly took off with 150m of line. I had just spooled a new reel with new spectra so I wasn't gonna cut him off. Buttoned down and off I went on my dog sled ride. Hit about 7 or 8 mph as the stupid animal just kept going. 20 min fight before I finally managed to pop the leader. At least I got to break in the drags on the new trini. Funny, same thing happened the last time I got one of those reels, except it was a dolphin. At least there's one dog out there that might think twice before chomping on a mac.

All the cuda you could want, many flying out of the air. That got old, but I found a big shiny thing underneath them.

Turned into a very pleasant evening once the wind died and the surf mellowed.

Good luck to all this weekend.
