Rockfish Round Up - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

FISH11 · 05-11-2015, 07:57 PM

I felt bad at only catching some small rock fish. It was a tough day out there and the fishing was slow. While staying out there a little longer in hopes of getting something more fitting to help fill the HOW freezer. I happened to be near Chuck D when he hooked up and I was hoping for some of the same. It didn't work out on Saturday so today Monday I went out and fished a lot of different areas but the general area that Chuck D hooked up in proved to be the bomb today at 9am caught a 27.6 lb Yellow and later at 1:54 pm got a 16.3 lb Yellow only about 50' from the spot of the first one. What an awesome day, at 27.6 lb it's a PB and actually landing two on the same day on the kayak is also a PB. Both Yellows are going to be donated to HOW. Just trying to do what I can. Tight Lines All.

Not on this trip, it was a dry landing. All but the bathing suit, it gets wet from bracing against the waves on the landing.

The Rockfish Roundup was a lot of fun. I can't wait to do it again....

A big thanks to everyone for donating fish, and bringing food and drinks.
