LJ right place - right time - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

It was my day today. I'm on the way back in and slid over some glassy water. Suddenly surrounded by a dozen boils. My thinking brain was staring at all those boils but luckily my fishing brain was reaching back and grabbing my 20# rod with a surface iron. He peeled off quite a bit of line and headed straight down but 30 minutes later he was on the game clip. First one for me this season.

You gotta love when your hand is already loading up the jig-stick before you figure out what the hell's throwing all that water around. If you asked me it's always better on the iron, always! On a side note, don't you know there's no fish in La Jolla? Certainly no big fish blowing up on the surface, wink wink (LOL).
