After the Rain 1/27/2015 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

alanhighhand · 01-27-2015, 04:16 PM

This year, I went to the sewers three times and got skunked twice. Finally, today I got double. It was a wonderful day of fishing. Not much to say.

Here are my pictures:

My first fish at 10:55 A.M. The butt is 29 inches.

My second fish at 11:15 A.M. The butt is 32 inches.

This is my best personal record for catching double and the biggest I have caught so far.

all kinds of tasty white meat on those two!

Kayak fishing, if done right there are only good days and better days!

JeffB · 01-27-2015, 04:38 PM

Very nice, I'm itching to catch a nice butt.

octico · 01-27-2015, 04:41 PM

Congrats!!! I have been itching to get out but for one reason or another I cannot make it out.

LBKayakDude · 01-29-2015, 03:01 PM

I second that question. Do you guys keep em hung over the the side or just throw em in a hatch and get back to shore.

That all depends on what you're doing and where you're at. If I'm drifting I will leave my fish hanging, if I'm moving I'll stick on the deck. If I'm at LJ chances are I would not leave a fish hanging over the side, not with all of those seals around.

LBKayakDude · 01-29-2015, 07:44 PM

Makes perfect sense. Thanks jorluvil

W a s out there again today. Took my time. Made a few nice greens for bait. Found a fishy looking spot and sent the fella down. Almost instant something bit it hard. I let it chew on it for a bit and I thought it had swallowed it....tried to set the hook but slipped right off. Sent it back down it must of spooked it away.... Had some nice big bite marks on the mack...sooo close...... Met smelly fingers out there today thanks for the smelt I couldn't make anymore bait after 10....was a good day nonetheless and tried out my new Polaroid xs100 it was pretty cool too bad water was so foggy couldnt get any underwater footage besides a baby seal playing

This one is a few months old but its an instant hook-up

Free spool at 0:23
Bait hits bottom at 0:34
Fish on at 0:38

I have caught two in one day, only once, but it was awesome. Somethin' about halibut fishing... I love it

Congratulations and enjoy!

I've missed too many halibut this way to not fish with trap hooks. Especially when exclusively targeting the flat kind. The setup I tied for my friend last time out hooked a yellowtail in the corner of the mouth with the circle trap. Had the rig not used a trap hook, he would have not caught his fish.

cell128 · 01-30-2015, 08:26 AM

Will try trap hook next time. Thanks.

yakjoe · 01-30-2015, 09:41 AM
