Pesky Bycatch 4-7-10 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Sherm · 04-09-2010, 08:47 AM

I went to LJ yesterday with my favorite yak fishing expert Josh (Darkhorse) this guy knows how to fish.

Anyway....we were looking for WSB (no love for me) and I put this pesky bycatch on the deck. Anybody know what it is?

Awesome Tail Sherm. To bad about the Ghost, but that yellow is sweet.

Yep...that fish had serious shoulders and fat belly straps. A PIG for sure. Had to break the tail to fit it in the 40 inch long cooler. I had to cut the shoulder meat in half to cook properly. It was way too thick to cook all the way through. The sashimi was awesome though.

Congratulations Sherman, I appreciate you sharing your inspiring Bycatch Photo as my WSB steak ended yesterday and I was hoping to get into a Yellowtail groove as things look ripe to go off with all the bait in La Jolla currently.

The private boaters have plenty to shoot for currently with the UT reporting the great Yellowtail bite just north of Todas Santos. I agree that is good to post on BWE to give Josh the credit he deserves for sharing his knowledge with us but I personally don't see the point in posting on BD to bring more PBer's into our limited spear of influence. My suggestion is to posts only for folks that can truely appreciate your efforts and triumphs. !!

I fish both boats and yaks and find fisherman appreciate a good fish no matter where or how it was caught.

Plus if you notice my banner on BD you'll notice I am a sponsor on that sight. Every post is another opportunity to plug my business.

Also....most of the boaters on BD know that the yak guys get fish when they can't. They know the boats are too noisy and it's easier to catch tails down south on a boat.

That's anice bycatch for sure
