DP 3/8 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

slammah · 03-13-2020, 09:56 AM

Launched out of baby beach at 5:30am forgetting about the daylight savings change so I couldn't see jack for a bit. Picked up some live bait with a 5 gallon lowe's bucket with a bubbler and an ice pack. I was concerned that the bait wouldn't live long since the water wasn't recycling and I was right. By 10am more than half of my bait was dead. Gotta get myself a pump.

I fished shallow, pretty close to the beach around 10ft of water. Hooked up on a short sand bass early in the morning followed by a couple short halibut. The last time I came, I noticed my bait was getting their bellies shredded but failed to hook up multiple times. I nose hooked my bait like usual and attached a stinger hook to its belly. I had much more success rigging this way. Stinger hook helps a lot!

No legals, but had a really fun day on the water. Sorry for the terrible pictures.. I wasn't exactly calm when I took them. peace

Nice report. I use the same set up with the 5 gallon bucket and a bubbler. Ive never put an ice pack in there, do you think it regulates the temp of the water to make them survive longer?
