Kayak fish of the week Nov/Dec 29th-5th 2021
Everything else was on jigs. The Mutton Snapper made the day! I went 1 for 3 hookups on Amberjacks... losing the other two on the wrecks. This Little Tunny was stripped out as bait for Mahi.(no luck finding mahi ) Blackfin Tunas are always a welcome sight for fresh Poke! I kept the Mutton and Two of the Blackfins, Everything else was released to fight again another day. The triggerfish was the only one requiring a descender device for re-acclimation. |

Thanks Ben........ time to cross another off your life list... Quote:
Thanks Quang, The variety is notable.... made it easy to win at Kayak Wars back when that was an online tournament. Thanks, Grass frequently looks greener elsewhere, but Florida is tough to beat when it comes to fishing diversity. |

Haha, I can’t imagine a 60+ pound YT from the yak and that’s about what I would expect an AJ of similar size to fight like.

That's about right. Like YT, AJ's look for a structure to break the line off. As hard as they fight, The AJ's cannot equalize like a Tuna can, so once pulled about 100ft up from where ever they were, they start to get the bends, and about 90ft down the fishfinder frequently lights up with air if it's a jack. They will still fight the rest of the way, but it is impeded by air imbalance. Meanwhile, a tuna will fight hard all the way to the end.

That would be interesting to find your Floridian relatives. The overall diversity of California is tough to beat. However, if you don't mind a hot humid climate and love fishing, Florida is the place to be. If you are retired on a fixed income, everything costs less here than in California.

That Mutton snapper in the bottom of your kayak against your leg puts it all in perspective, that's a big cool looking fish. Keep the reports coming in.

During the summer months temps in the 80-90's with 80-90+% humidity. It is not like SoCal where it can be a dry 80 outside and comfortable. 80 degrees with 80 percent humidity is uncomfortable in anything but flip-flops and shorts. The brief 3 cooler months of the year(winter) temps are in the 70's with comfortable humidity. Most the clothing I wear kayak fishing is for sun protection. There might be two or three trips during the colder months when I need a neoprene jacket to stay warm. |

If I ever make it to Florida I will look you up
And if you ever come to San Diego look me up, and if there anything I can do for you just ask.
