bft within reach? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

We went and looked on Saturday out of Dana....how could you not?

Found one big spot of big fish up and foaming Nat Geo style right off the west corner of the Laguna MPA. Was able to get one cast just outside the foam before they sunk out. Lots of bird/bait life in the zone, which was anywhere from 2-5 miles offshore. Plenty of bird tornadoes that formed up on fish spots in the general area, but would disperse by the time we got close to them. Its very reasonable that a yakker would score by making a couple Macs and taking them for a paddle. You'd have to be in the right place & right time to find school of them up and foaming, but that 2-5 mile zone would be a good place to start. Schools were up and down very fast, but spread out over a pretty big area, so I think there is a lot of fish out there. Hope they stick around...

Inshore tuna hunting in January. Huh.
