Quick Flurry- One Sixty - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Deamon · 03-11-2016, 05:55 AM

Blessed to have a chance to pound some real hours again. This was a little 30 minute flurry wrapped around hours of...seal harassment, wind and current. Buddy abt 50' away smelled like skunk, lol. Still trying to figure out the difference. Def not squandering too many chances by using fresh, quality gear. 46, 53 and 61. All on light rods and reels!

DanaPT · 03-11-2016, 06:21 AM

Jimbo...You are da man. Thanks for the outing and taste of success. Keep killing it. Until next time.

Man looking back to those moments when life gives you an opportunity and you sit and ponder is it worth the time and risk...

I must say this night thing is freaken scary as heck... Sitting there wet and in the dark depending solely on your other senses as they go into overdrive over the smallest sound and light.. You hear and see things crash the surface but can't distinguish if it's bait, seal or shark.. Your heart stays pumping even as your eyes try to shut down... But fear kicks in and keeps you going...

I can only imagine that's what Deamon goes through each night for the opportunity like this...

Kudos my man.. It's not for everyone or the faint of heart but you seemly do it..

BLAH, BLAH, BLAH...LOL

That door swung wide open last year. Very few checked in willing to take the risk, put in the effort or scoffed at such a post...whatever. About a 1000 hours later, we've gotten a bit closer to the original goal.

You're nuts, it's funny he only post when he catches. Long hours, night, seals, tangles, and other craziness all for maybe one bite, maybe if you're lucky. Chances are that one bite will be a shark or a fish that gets you snagged in the kelp. My last two trips out I was met with hammers and other crazy critters. It won't be long till them damn sharks are back in the area. Worst part is this time of year is with the surf. Impossible to time, nothing to worry about if you like to donate and get wet

JeffB · 03-11-2016, 12:38 PM

He pays someone to go down and hook up his fish as well!

erinoo · 03-11-2016, 12:39 PM

MOFO.....Sweet Jesus...

Silbaugh4liberty · 03-11-2016, 03:24 PM

Holy Crap! NICE JOB! I'm sure those three tankers put you close to your weight limit on a kayak!!

toby · 03-11-2016, 06:56 PM

Those toads crowding the kayak remind me of when I used to ride the city bus.

It's taken a toll. I mean the guys 40 and look at him.

momo fish · 03-11-2016, 01:24 PM

Oh dam?!?! Why did you have to remind me of hammerheads!!! Was almost able to sleep at night without freaking out when my son taps me on the shoulder without thinking I'm being bumped by one!!!!

Those are the worst nights since they are so aggressive...

Free tip [no guide fees] for the newbies: you could go to your local see-ment pond catfish hole and brush up on your technique. Spend a few overnights otw baitin n waitin. Youll get it.
