1 short of $5 for me - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

toadstoadsonly · 06-18-2013, 02:26 PM

Since the pins on my HDS5 unit broke 6 months ago I was like a blind squirrel trying to find a nut. I did not know where the bait was, what depth water I was fishing, temperature etc.. I recently purchased another unit and OMG I could see again! Oh boy does it make all the difference in the world having a fish finder. HDS5=find fish drop on its head, bendo, gaff, peddle back, repeat.

With a goal of winning my own $5 bucks I set out to get a Fat Albert Avatar from Andy. I put a 12 hour session on the water but fell 1 short #3 who busted me off. I was on the water at 5:30am, first hookup 3:45pm, second fish 4:15pm, third hookup 4:30 dink bye bye, then got my butt beat by swells and whitecaps all the way back. Seabass are still gay though.

Its a good thing you had the PA to load those monsters on the boat.

Nice double on the big fish.

Who says that you can't take the PA to Malibu? (tony)

Now pay up the 5 bucks to the man!
