So SD Bay 1/31

I had a few hours to fish befor picking the kids up from school so I spent them on the bay. Luanched at J st and headed straight across toward the Cays. Trolling and casting a small swim bait got me 5 or so sub-legal spotties and about 100 short bites from big jack smelt. It was a bit breezy so I ducked in to the Cays and did a bit of dock fishing. A 16' hobie adventure is about the LEAST nimble kayak for manuveing around docks and yatchs but it did the job. I was flipping the pilings with large mouth bass style jig and plastic trailer lures and getting crushed by the bigger grade spotties on the sink. I used an old left handed abu flipping reel on a stiff 8' rod. I dont use lefties so I was just spastic getting the fish out of the pilings. Fun day with 6 of the bigger fish landed and released. Mike

Fun stuff right there. That reel looks ancient, good on you to put it use. I'd probably be spastic using a lefty too.
