LJ AM 8/22 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Jxjones · 08-23-2020, 09:08 AM

Launched with the rest at 5:30. Found plenty of Spanish but slim picking on the (bait sized) greenbacks. Caught two nice greenbacks and an additional 4-5 rogue 15” -16” that were just too large, so I pitched them and decided it was time to fish. Set off on my milky run from north to south in 100 FOW with 1 pacific mackerel in the bait tank and another on a 4 oz Carolina rig. Figured I could make more bait on the way, so I kept my sabiki rod in the water. Around 8:30, ”click, click, click” so I slapped my rod holder rod into free spool and reeled in my sabiki. After a 10 count, I engaged the reel and let the 5/0 circle hook do its thing. About 20 minutes later had a nice eater size YT at the gaff. All in all, great day on the water. The wind picked up around noon, and was off of the water by 1:30. Good luck and stay safe. Tight lines.
