B Day YT - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

619-SWIM-DOG · 08-25-2014, 12:18 PM

Well headed out to LJ today to fish on my birthday. I got in the water around 0600, waves were small but consistent. I got past the marker and made bait. Tons of greenies all day everywhere. I had a greenie on the fly line and one on the bottom. My fly line gets nervous and then the reel sings. The battle wasn't long but these guys put up a good flight. After that I just headed in. This was my first YT from the Yak, not the biggest but ill
Take it.

Congratulations of breaking the ice. BTW, I like your fillet knife, I have one exactly like it, and it outperforms all of my more expensive ones.

That's one way to celebrate,

Happy Bday! and congrats on the first YT

Interesting to hear about the greenies being out in force.... I could not find a single one on Saturday (I'll post a report when home).

Nice going, that's a sweet birthday present. You earned that one! Just wait until you hook one of those long 25lbers that have been hanging around!
