4th July MultiSpecies in Korea (Mix boat/kayak/shore) - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Multi-species weekend. Started off the 4th by heading to Dajeon, hoping for fire eyed chubs on the fly rod. The rainy season has the river too high however, and I was promptly run off due to the river being too dangerous.
Saturday we tried for yellowtail. Found some boils but the fish didn't want to cooperate. Hooked a nice one on a West Coast style iron, but the hook pulled halfway up. Had a rat yellow to the boat, hook pulled out before we netted.
Next day we went for flathead. Fishing was much better, the weather much wetter.
Monday Jaeyun and I went kayaking for flathead. He kicked my butt 6 fish to 2, but I learned some new things about flathead I didn't know before. Always good to learn something new! Caught a small octopus and had a run in with my newfound favorite commercial fisherman.

It is. Japan is very similar. Growing up in NorCal where everything is dead most of the year and there are no trees, it always amazes me.
