DP 03-23 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Those Leopards are lots of fun to catch, never kept one to eat though. How do they taste? Also, how did you have your sardines rigged to hook up with them?

PapaDave,

It is classic, I launch from DP Kayak and Jet Ski place as well and every time I come in the staff there is always telling me about what mystery man "Dave" has caught, yet I never see you off the water. I guess now I know who they are talking about hahah (they mentioned your nice leopard shark, figured 2 Dave's couldn't have caught one on the same day).

Nicely done with something "small," I'm sure your friends kid will be hooked on fishing now.

Hopefully I'll see you out there some time soon.

I hope he is, right now he is stuck in that video game mentality, I'm trying to get him back into reality.

I am out there every Saturday, just about, and sometimes on Sunday. We should hook up sometime.

So do most of you who fish DP launch out of the kayak and jet ski center or from the boat launch?

I launch out of Baby's Beach (mothers beach?) toward the back of the harbor. Its only about an extra 10 min trip vs the boat launch, but the parking is free, and you can get there as early as you want.

I was in the same boat a while ago, staying in playing XBOX because I was to lazy to do things after work or on days off, which was the whole reason I upgraded the yak. Trust me a few more "small" fish like that and he will be asking his dad for his own yak some day.

I'm out there almost every Saturday as well, what time do you usually hit the water?

Its fish in the cob. Shark is cartilaginous obviously so there's no bone hassle. Steak it out or whatever, but soak in milk overnight and cook it to what your feeling. They're delicious, just make sure they're 36".

Good day there Dave!

"I was rigged up with the hook tied straight to the braid, sliding sinker and a split shot to keep that from going all the way to the hook. Not sure what the name of that type would be."

we'll call it the "PD McGyver modified c-rig" No need for expensive flouro, confusing knots, or wasted time on the water setting-up.

nice work.
