HH 11-22

Since I am retired I hardly fish on the weekends anymore(There were 6 other kayakers fishing the Harbor this morning) though with my Thursday fogged out I hit HH with Andy this morning. We launched at the shop pre sunup and headed straight to the main channel to concentrate on dock fishing.

With the start of the outgoing tide I expected the bite to start and had the Flukes and razorbacks Uni Buttered up and blade ready to go. Andy and I fished the docks all the way down to Sunset Aquatic for a few short bites.

We then fished the grass beds on the drift more short bites for me and Andy caught a nice spottie on the fluke. Andy had to head of to work and I wanted to try the docks that were holding fish last week. Spent another 1 1/2 hours and still did not have a fish. Headed back to the launch area wondering where the fish were. Thru out the crank bait and trolled up the channel. When I turned into the channel that takes me back to the shop

Followed shortly by

Feeling a little better even though my fish had come on the troll at least I had landed a halibut and a spottie. This last week I had put the braid back on my spinner bait setup after losing the big fish last week and was bummed at not having een having a short bite. As I neared the last channel that goes to the beach at the shop I decided to throw it a few more times. I was almost at the end of the channel when it gets hammered then it felt like it was gone then the rod goes way bendo as the fish goes past the the kayak and heads under the dock. Since I had the braid I wasn't too worried and glad no boat was at the dock since it slammed my kayak sideways into the dock. After fighting the fish out from under the dock I took this pic

The perfect way to end the day on the water

I think your luck had more to do with the fact that the fish sensed they were out of danger when Andy left!
Oh ya...nice pic of sunrise too! Fun times!

Looks like a great time. My deepest darkest secret is that I REALLY REALLY like picking up fish on the troll, but I do have to admit that having line ripping off you reel as you were just working a lure is pretty cool too I guess. Thanks for the report.
