NPH Rockfish Killing Spree. 4/20/2012. - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

FishRaiden · 04-20-2012, 12:43 PM

Last night we decided to make a last minute decision to go out and fish NPH.

Hit up vincentek9 to see how the conditions were looking for the day, and it was a GO from there.

Geared & prepped up last night and woke up at 5am.

Met up with vincentek9 a little after 6am, and started paddling by 6:30am.

On the paddle out, the mouth of the harbor was filled with baitfish, as always.

Conditions were looking promising, got to the fishing grounds within 20-30 mins. This is the deepest ive ever fished on a kayak.

Fish started popping up left and right on every drop with the double dropper loop rig w/ squid strips.

Then I brought out the Lucanus Jig and the fish were getting bigger.

Double hook up on the Lucanus haha

My little bro hookin up as well, sadly he catches nothing but dinks!

vincentek9 searchin for fish.

I find a new spot, drop down the Lucanus and BAM!

My rod gets heavy and I feel a head shake or two and knew it was a better fish.

Vince had already filleted all of his catch.

I end up with some nice rockies, and my bro with dinkys

And that is that!
