Giving the Yellowfin a rest .... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

For those of us not paddling out to the local banks looking for a trophy,
here is a late report from Saturday morning.

Launched Saturday morning from LJ at 6 am, and 29 mins later caught a
20 lb. yellowtail on the 3oz (B-52) bucktail with a twist trailer near the
bottom, around 115'.

On the beach by 9:30 for some boogie boarding with the little ones.

Pretty non-traditional choice of breakfast by this yellow, but I'd rather
dead-stick my favorite bait than a 6X Jr., they slow troll very well at any
depth, hang up less and don't tangle themselves. It worked anyway.

Beautiful morning, you know, we live in PARADISE

Kind of a bloody mess, but the she went immediately onto ice and the
sashimi was XLNT!!

Ready to go boogie boarding ... they can't wait for daddy to start
catching "lomsters" again.

Nice Yellar and great shot with the girls... My wife said when our daughter turned 1 yr I could take her on the yak. hmmmm.... 14 months now. Maybe I will take a lesson here and spend a day at the beach after an early morning excursion! Sounds like a perfect day!!

Even though I always have a couple with me, I have yet to break out the bucktail. Good going!
