oceanside seat trial! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

lowprofile · 12-28-2011, 08:54 PM

took the yak out this afternoon with my brand new seat. absolutely love being able to just grab a tackle box or two without having to open the hatch then reclose it to work then open again to stow.

It's so incredibly comfortable i almost forgot i was in my yak and able to concentrate 100% on my presentation. resulting in this guy!

21" on 3" BH (i think its smelt, could be wookie whacker)

then i drug this guy out

around 12"

both came out of the "fishless" harbor

headed out to the reef... way out to the reef...

pinned on a live 12" lizard fish (with stinger hook) and also played with a dropper and squid on my new rockfish rig.

took a legal goat.

and got hit on the lizard

not too bad huh?

just be careful on the sculpin if you fit it like that between your legs you might end up with a day just my 0.2

Nice day out, but I have to agree that rattlesnakes and crotches don't mix well.

That's 100x better than any day fishing I've ever had. I would be thrilled, rock on man

the rattler was way up towards the cup holder and i was scooted back and had my hand on the line pulling him away. i wasnt going to get nut checked by that thing!

oh and just an FYI, besides liking the storage, the seat review is a little sarcastic.

Good Job....I dont think many give O'Side the credit it deserves. How bout around the corner on the base side? I launch from there, but usually dont hang around, I did drag a BH a few times with no results. As for sculpin, I have handled them with bare hands, trick is to fold down spines sliding your hand from head towards tail and be sure and not let up,. (or maybe I just got lucky).

Handle Sculpin just like bass, grab em by the lower lip so the spines are pointed away from you. Nice variety there.
