Rain,wind,bass and LIMITS 1/25/09. - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

ICHI · 01-26-2009, 10:17 AM

Got picked up by my yakkin buddy sherm around 11:45 pm after he tried calling me for 20 mins. I was asleep, oops sorry scott. Loaded up the yak and got to the landing around 12:10. I forgot my headlight and thats kind of important, so we headed back to north park to pick it up. Ok back at the landing around 12:45. Got on the water around 1:15ish and headed out.

Half way crossing the bay it starts rainin no biggie as we had slickers and rain jackets. We meet up with our new yak bud greg.Dropped our hoops and I started fishing. First cast I was on and then off. Second cast and first cali of the night. Threw the plastics for short bites and then I got nailed hard, pulled my drag and ran into some kelp. I played tug o war for a couple of mins and then finally tried to horse him in. Of course SNAP. Lost my last favorite color plastic. Pulled our hoops and first pull produced a legal and a few shorts.Third pull had another keeper and shorts. Dropped them down and then the wind came.

The wind sucked, I couldnt fish for jack shit. I picked up one more cali on the fresh water creature (salamandor). Pretty cool never caught or tried this plastic before. After that the fish were hiding in the rocks and I couldnt stay in one spot long enough to get close to the rocks. Pulled up legals just about every drop. To shortin it up I got my first night of limits, they were crawlin good that night. I was so stoked, thanks again scott you da man. For me limits and scott 6, we would have stayed for scotts easy limits but the wind was very frustrating. So we headed in to nothin but wind in our faces and white caps. Of course the wind stopped 10 mins from the landing. Thanks again sherm, cant wait till next time.
