LJ 8/9 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Scoot · 08-10-2013, 06:24 PM

Sorry for late report! At launch before first light but could tell swell
was pumping. When we could see I asked my boy if he wanted to
hit the bay he said no! He dumped on the launch, nothing lost. I punched through
a solid 4' face but made it. Tons of bait, made perfect Spanish macks,
got a 3# green back on a surface iron and I was getting 4 to 6 bonito
at a time on the sabiki. 6 to 8 incher's, beautiful bait. It was pretty bumpy, the lad was sick by 8:30 in by 9:30 or 10. No game fish but
looked fishy. New Seaforth reported a

for am run!!! Played
in the surf, after we unloaded. It was one of the biggest days I've seen
there!

Haven't seen bonita of any size in LJ for maybe years. I don't want to sound like an a-hole but are you sure they were bonito?

Thanks, Mike
