PB YT in LJ 8/28 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

619-SWIM-DOG · 08-28-2014, 06:19 PM

Well had the day off and hit up LJ. I launched around 0600 to easy surf. I made bait and had 10 nice mackerel. I spend most the day just west of the Hotel in about 130-100ft of water. I don't know what it was today but the seals were all over me. I had 5 bait taken by them and at one point when I was drifting I had a small pup mako swim right by the yak. I could have reached in and grabbed him. I tried to bring in my bait but the pup took it and my circle hook. So after re rigging and feeding the seals some more. I was down to one bait so I headed out to 130ft and send him out on the fly line. I drifted till I was at 100ft and then my reel screams at me. The fight was on. He did his runs and pulled me around some but I came out on top with a PB YT. Came in at 18.04lbs once I got home. Two YT's in two trips I'm liking this.

Still working on video skills

I learned how to Kayak fish in Maui, so the Kage is what I'm most comfortable with.

Way to go on the PB. were the sport boats out there. I think if they seals are not following them they will be more on the small craft. The other day I could not get rid of the seals and the birds were even worse.

Way to muscle him! You can probably get by without the bat on YT though.

Congratulations on your PB YT. Glad you had a good day at La Jolla.
