My Cherry Poppin YT
All in all it was a beautiful day, I saw only one other kayak in the distance and only 3 or 4 pbers all day. The surf was 1-2ft, water was clear with some brown slime on top in places, no wind in the morning but by 1pm it kicked up pretty good.

I'm confused.. you caught the YT on the 2 oz flyliner and landed it and got bit on the YO YO and lost it or you lost both fish? If you landed one, how big?

Congrats on your first! It's amazing how much a good bite can wake you up. Any measurements?

I felt like I was over a baitball and my sabiki was all tangled
Quote:
I caught the YT on the trolled bait w/2oz egg sinker in 97 ft of water. The fish lost was on the yoyo. I fought it for about 2 minutes. It was a really strange strike though. Seemed as if it hit 2 or 3 times in a short distance before hooking up. I was about 75% reeled in in 90ft of water when I felt the first tug.

What are most of your opinions on Yo Yoing year round? I know it's practiced more in the winter but is it as effective in some of the warmer months?

Surface irons, and macs for the summer... Heavy irons for Winter/Spring.

I know thats the status quo but there can't be a seasonal reason YT wouldn't bite a yo yo in the summer could there? Or is it more about a YTs location in the water column based on conditions (seasonal based conditions)? Don't they pull huge YT from the 'Nados on the deep iron in the summer? |

IMO anything can happen.
From my experience at LJ, spring/summer fish are in the upper 1/3 of the water column 70-100 feet of water on the dines and macks. It seems the flyline baits and surface iron catch more of the fish. Having said that, if you stuck to fishing deeper water 120+ with heavier iron you may find bigger fish, or a WSB. But it's hard to stick to that strategy when clickers are screaming and rods are bent inside of you. |
