Wife's first fish - Mission Bay - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

DarthFisherman · 05-31-2012, 08:36 PM

Decided to hit Mission Bay with the wife on the back of my Hobie Outback. That's right, on the back of the Outback. I knew that I would be able to play taxi, but was surprised at how fast I was still able to paddle around. I love my Hobie. We fished the North Cove area for an hour and a half and only I was able to hook up with a spotty. That's cool I got one, but I really really wanted her to get hooked up with her first fish on a reel/rod. So I decided to try some casts in front of Fiesta Island and sure enough, she hooks up on her "last cast" of the day. She was so excited reeling this guy in!

Looks like you've hooked the "right" fish! Good Job!

PapaDave · 06-01-2012, 11:00 AM

Congradulations! On both counts. There should be more women like her in this hobbie.

DarthFisherman · 06-01-2012, 11:58 AM

The game plan is to buy her an outback as well, or for me to buy a PA 12 and she gets the current outback. Either way it will be great for us to both be on our own kayaks.

Still trying to get my wife on the yak...or any boat for that matter. Well done!

Deamon · 06-22-2012, 05:54 AM

Ummm...excuse me Darth, is your wife giving all of us the bird?

Jimmyz123 · 06-22-2012, 07:11 AM

Looks like you're either going to have to get a tandem kayak or get her one for her self. Great post
