Cattle boat report - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Good luck to you sir, catch a bunch. But you might see why I asked for second hand further details. One could come up with many scenarios with your first report.

Well here's a scenario he ran into
He is fishing an 8000 sized spinner with 30lb fluoro
Fly lining a sardine
He hooks up
Reel starts screaming
Rod is bent over
He says he was fighting for like ten minutes
Said he had about half his line left
Would get a little line back
But fish would keep takin off
He is freakin out cuz its biggest he has ever hooked
Deck hand comes over and takes the rod
Fish takes him on a ride around the boat
Deckhand looks at friend and says he should cut his line

Now

What would you do

Spool out before you tap out

Ill Bite-

1 )Button down the drag and get that fish UP. OR break it off & grab a heavier set up. Grab a beer too.

2) Fish from own boat or kayak and NOT have to deal with party boat peeps. Prolly drink a cold beer too.

3) Go straight to the galley and buy everyone on the boat a beer because you probably just lost the jackpot fish cuz your spinner wasn't made for the job .

4) Toss that spinner overboard, get yourself a beer or three.

5) Fish ON... Doesn't matter as long as you have a cold beer.

Sweet. Who wants to kayak to Catalina and get on this yellow bite before it fizzles out???

sounds like the freelance. 95% east side of catalina around the can dumps. fly line dines work well, and squid is always a plus if you can get it. alot of 2-5# rats (good size compared to the cookie cutters found at PV and redondo right now). a few monster moss backs.

I would have told the deckhand to fuck off.

Either.............
the fish will give up
the angler will give up
the line will snap
the angler will get spooled

I would much rather take a chance on one of those four things happening than to just give up.

Nice bonito there
Yeah most guys were fishin 25lb test on rentals
I used mostly my 20lb set up with a 2/0 circle
We were throwin sardines at em
Had a 25lb set up with a tady surface jig that I didn't use
Had a lot of crossed lines
A few bite offs
I had to cut off and retie a lot
Wasn't gonna risk any lures
Glad I brought enough hooks
Over half of our party only fishes this yearly trip
So it was a mission tryin to get everyone to follow their line
Trying to get em all to go for an overnight next year
This our fourth trip
Time to step it up
Especially if it's only once a year
Gonna try and get another trip in with a few guys
Try and head further south
Hopefully soon
A lot more fish caught this year compared to last
Just not the kind I was goin for
Still glad everyone went home with full bags

Jorluivil
Yeah I gave him pretty much the same speech
He was just doing what he thought was right
He don't fish much
So a deckhands advice sounded like the thing to do
Wasn't on that trip he was on
But he was on this one
Did well too
Now we just itchin for another trip
I still got my kayak so I should be just fine
Have yet to get towed around by somethin big on it
One day
Hopefully soon I'll get that sleigh ride
