before I got that one... I caught a lot of fish in my days fishing the overnight to 5 day boats.. but that one was probably the most rewarding of all.

since Josh is big on making observations, here are a few I made:

Josh + black hat = lots of fish , Nic + black hat = 1st from yak ???? I switched from my blue hat I normally wear to a black one and whaaaameee.
the area I was in had some bait being worked at the surface and it felt fishy so I hung around.
there were some obstructions in the area that I made sure to keep an eye on as to not get too close.
Due to a later launch, I only made one med size mac and I didn't want to waste any more time. Some times I waste too much time trying to make a few of those perfect size macs.

anyways, thats all I got. Maybe that will help some one else, maybe not... but more than anything - black hat

Great catch Nic Im sure your were stoked..:sifone:

Nice......

Nice fish, Nick
 

Excellent to see you get results finally!!. :cheers1:

BTW I think you might find an extra rudderpost fixed into the rear hatch of your boat if you need it in the future. I had no idea that hobie had done that til recently when I was doing some maintenance. give it a look.

Enjoy that fish!!
Chris :sifone:

I think I saw you heading out as I was coming in yesterday. I also picked one up about the same size and missed another one. I couldn't find any bait so I was using a bare iron. A couple winds off the bottom in 100 ft of water is where I got my action. Got mine at 7:30 and was on the beach at 10

Nick,

That's one fine fish!! Plus, there's more to come.
All your work is starting to pay off. I bet your
heart is still pumping...

Congrats! :luxhello: WTG!

Nic Im stoked for you! :cheers1:
Its been a while, I need to get out there.

Excellent! I agree,nothing beats a yellowtail off a kayak!. The "one bait" system does work! Nice fish...

WTG NICK

Good Job! I bet that beer you were drinkin on the way in yesterday was extra yummy!!:cheers1:

sweet! panic gaff shot! love it!

I thought perhaps the "big ups to Leo" comment, was for leo chasing the :yt: down into the kelp and shooting it dead center with a spear gun!?! :biggrinjester:

(no worries...now that part of the steak is ready for a 1/2" shiskabob skewer!)


Just kiddin Nic!:p...WTG!!!!!!! WOOO HOOOOO!!!!!!!!:sifone::cheers1:

Happy Days.

Congrats.

nice fish!!! :luxhello: i was skunked again 8/27 my black hat is broke! lucky to still have it, i rolled in the surf for my first time, not as fun as catching fish i would imagine LOL


roadx + black hat = fun to watch rolling in the surf

Good job. I didn't think you really fished. ;)

I'm headed down right now to hit the surf.

hahaha, I do plenty of fishing.. its the catching that I suck at.

nice
 

Nice fish

Congrats and WTG.

Way to go Nic. Congrats on a nice fish.

Nic, I remember when you first joined here. Been following your pics and posts ever since and wondered when we'd get to see a pic of your own. Congrats.

one word....WTG!

thanks ya'll for taking the time to make a comment... it really means a lot to me.

I mostly fish on wed, thurs or fridays, if you're headed out on any of those days... hit me up, lets fish!

'Specfuggintacular, Nick!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

All that time on the water is starting to pay off :cheers1:.

Nice fish NIC! way to put a hurt on em. see you out there!

Hell freakin' yeah, Nic!!!!!!!!!!
 

Well, you earned that one. I've got a feeling your paying dues time is over---finally. It's now catching time! I was beginning to wonder what evil things you've done to piss off the fish so much. Especially since you've been so nice to the population of our local targets :p.

The season is far from over my friend, get back out there and do it again!
