24 Hours - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Deamon · 03-16-2011, 06:21 PM

Had a busy 24 hours...

Yesterday I left La Mesa at 3:30 pm to check out Kaijuu's Revo for sale in Vista
Fish talked for an hour or so and drove it home...!
Went into work (7:30 pm)to post my Outback for sale and got four replies in 15 min
Met potential buyer at Shelter at 9:30pm...sold it
Took my new yak to Lake Morena this morning (had to!)
Windy from the get-go but was told they had some brood fish in there so I stayed with it most of the day. I put a 2.5# on the stringer early. On the way in...done and tired of mostly peddling I slid through the cove left of the dock for one last shot and was gifted a beauty. Walked out of the Ranger's office at 3:05pm...9.25# their scale on 4# line. My new yak catches fish...in freshwater.

thats a beautiful fish.... congrats. My PB is 7 and that was a big fish, 9 must have been fun.

Nice fish, 4lb line is always fun.

What a beauty.

Nice fish on even 10# line. I don't fish the local lakes much but your fish seems to be about as big as any I have heard about. Do they get any bigger around here?

Morena's Ranger office is plastered with numerous pictures of QUALITY fish...caught this season. I saw a picture of a 14# on the wall. My buddy told me about their stocking of these bigger fish this year. There were maybe (6) boats and yaks on the water today.

Nice job Jim!

I am cleaning up from Lobster season, going to get some honey dos done, and we should hit up the local lake.

StinkyMatt · 03-16-2011, 08:03 PM

Those damn blue hobies, they suck! Stop catching all my fish!

Don't you know the minimum size is 28 inches?

Congrats on the fish and a beautiful boat!

da22y · 03-16-2011, 08:21 PM

That's a nice big fish !

I am a little scared of tsunami in ocean now ( after viewing those TV News replay everyday ).. maybe I should fish more in a lake.

Does lake have tsunami too ?

Thanks to everyone. I got it on my old school "Sierras Special"...
the Thomas Bouyant (now don't go laughing). Something about that line twisting, ball peen hammered lure that works for me.

Jake92107 · 03-16-2011, 08:42 PM

I guess im the potential buyer..

My first kayak..
Ihope to get out there and get the big 1's, but until i will need to get some much needed kayak practice

roby · 03-16-2011, 09:25 PM

Nice yak and fish. Well done on the light line...

You're on a roll...just keep the yak on the car and hit La Jolla for a night session for some WSB.

ratdog · 03-17-2011, 08:06 AM

Very nice catch. I don't fish lakes either but I am curious... what kind of fish is that?

mtnbykr2 · 03-17-2011, 02:30 PM
