first report and intro - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

jephs422 · 06-01-2008, 08:33 PM

hey guys, I signed up a bit ago, but never like to give an intro without a report, so here ya go.

took my kayak out for the first time to do some trolling for T's. I've caught more than my share from a boat, but I don't think I have EVER experienced fishing like this before. getting towed on a kayak is awesome.

Since the water was still a bit angry from the winds, my buddy Mike and I decided to make a run up the coast and try to find a secluded location to launch. we found a nice little beach with little to no surf, and launched out at around 9am. My first knock down was about 2 hours after making bait, but then it went dang near wide for the rest of the day. Steady pickings for the both of us.

total count was 6; all on macs. Some were caught on the drift, some on the troll. Heck, I picked one off the bottom drifting for Halibut on a Sardine.
I decided to keep one since I didn't keep any last year, and I probably won't keep anymore this year. But this was a first on the kayak for me.
I am officially addicting to this kayaking thing.

I don't get to kayak fish too often but been wanting to tie into a big thresher for the last 3 years and have not succeeded. Was wondering if you would be kind enough to share your spot. I will not post about your spot I just want to get one of those bruisers. I got a awsome calico spot I would share also If you like. Thanks, -jonathan-

Welcome. That is some intro.

Catching a T from a kayak puts a whole new perspective on the fish doesn't it? Compared to catching one from the relative safety of a boat with higher sides. Puts you up close and personal with the buggers. What a rush!

Again, welcome.
