Some pic say a thousand words - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

fishchaser25 · 09-13-2009, 02:23 PM

Not much to report, but I did manage to make it out fishing in ffice:smarttags" />lace w:st="on">Newportlace> on my B-day 09/04. So any ways here we go. Launched super late at 2pm and paddled strait 2 the bait barge. Talked to an old friend that was working on the barge and he picked out a bout 12 monster Mac’s for me. Then headed outside to an undisclosed location where a good friend of mine has been killing the threshers. Found him already hooked up when I got there. After the assist with the C&R of his thresher I set up my rod and we started our drift. It was like yellowtail fishing in LJ. you would look for birds and when they started diving you would try to get your bait right where they were because soon after they started diving the threshers would start boiling like foaming yellows. Tail slaps and full breaches. Then wam your bait would start screaming. It was epic. Well after a few hours of this I decided to keep a smaller T instead of one of the breeders. The fish I harvested was 78# and was a male I don’t kill females. But as you can see in the pic it was a beautiful day on the water with some good people and weather. The fish was a bonus for sure.

(for all of you who want to call me a pup killer F off. I only keep what im going to eat and the smaller T's have less mercery in them.)

Awesome photo! I would always vote for keeping a smaller male than anything else, better for your health and the population. Congrats on a great birthday catch!

INGRIDSDAD · 09-14-2009, 03:52 PM

Great pic, you wasted no time getting the new kayak bloody.

Thanks for the shark. I will send some fish your way if I ever get off my dry spell.

First trip out we land some nice threshers & I give my boat a proper welcome into the wonderful world of kayak fishing. all i can hope for is that i can keep my streak going after 4 months of no fishing. maybe if im lucky i'll get that newbe fishing luck back
