46x23 flyline gb - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

pingpangdang · 04-17-2016, 09:54 PM

46 at the fork 23 around. Got away from the crowd and paddled to some birds posted up by some pbs further south. Last week i sent my fishfinder back to lowrance to get repaired due to condensation/water.

Shooting blind so stuck with the flyline and slow trolled keeping an eye out for signs. Made a good call and the long paddle was worth it. First fish on my new tld 15...first time with the lever drag. Handled this fish with ease and the fight was enjoyable. No kelp in the vicinity...Easy land. Pulled him in with my hand with no problem. Just grabbed the bottom jaw all fingers in thumb out and slid him on the yak.

A few red crabs floating in the area. This yt had a few sea lice moving around on his skin...other than that pretty healthy fish.

Just in time as I just ran out of yt. Love battling these fish and would definitely release the next one if I still have fish in the fridge.

Burned some serious calories today.
