C&R Lil' Mako Sept 10, LJ - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

wade · 09-11-2009, 12:06 AM

went out @ 3pm, a bit choppy at first but it flattened out later on. bait is FINALLY in!! I couldnt believe my f-ing eyes at the ff.. i was metering in 90-100' , but was getting solid readings like thick kelp forever........
had to grab my sabiki out just to make sure I wasnt crazy & was going to be hung up soon..dropped the sabiki stick and it was a solid stream of bait..Got a hold of a little mako, that was a Blast to play around with. It must have done over 15 huge jumps completly out of the water. His larger buddy/Mother was circling around me while the aerial-fight was on.. i could only get shots when i got em to the yak..SORRY..it was amazing!! Unreal sunset to enjoy tonight..Released him to enjoy it 2...

The bigger one circling would definitely be a distraction. Great choice of song on the video!.

Good thing you stayed clear of the choppers when performing the release.

I saw the same thing on Tuesday. Didnt believe my eyes! Tons of bait in the water.

cool! It didn't bite through your leader

Sounds like a blast! Was the bait spanish mackeral or greenbacks? I wonder if that was the Mako bumping the back end of Josh's hobie when I paddled up to him one afternoon

I had about a 40 second hookup with that one until it bit through the leader. No acrobats but stopped messing with Josh

I could hear you whoop whooping from quite a ways away. You sounded pretty stoked. I'm the dude that said hi briefly on the beach with the white Cobra Marauder. Just 2 barracuda and a small calico for me. Those greenies were definitely out there last night. I even caught one on a trolled Rapala. And that sunset was phenomenal!
