hey all,

trolled Lj north with rapalas and was immediatley hit by a T, I Lost the first one when he breached,because I didnt know what to expect, boated 2 and my Bud who has never been on a Yak boated 1, I also was taking a leak and had an Iron dangling in the water when it got hit and I was towed backwards, it was pretty damn cool!!! I ened up landing this one too. all in all a great day on the water with some of my first sizeable fish out on the open water dont know what he weighed. but I had a good time!

Nice Ts,

how many did you say,3?
Where you just targeting Ts? How far North of the pier and what depth?

Congrats to you and your buddy.

Bob,
Your time on the water is paying off, way to go guiding a Josh into a T on his 1st day.
Excellent photo dude!

Thanks Guys,

the Sharks felt like they would come near the Kayak at first and I had to wind like mad at times . the cool thing was the first one that hit I heard the clicker go zzzz zzz then nothing, then the Shark breached about 10 ft from the Yak and I would hear zzz zzzz again and I thought he was gone, then it was a constant ZZZZZZzzzzzzz, the fights probably lasted about 10 to 15 minutes maybe? the last one ( when I was taking a leak) pulled me straight out towards deeper water, I was screaming like a Girl because it was so cool feeling the sleigh ride and seeing the line move out ahead of the Yak!!
I also noticed a shark under the Yak as I was jigging about 5-10 ft under, it was really great seeing how the Fish behaved around an Iron, how quick they turned to smack it with their tails, the mystery fish ran like a demon, it just kept peeling line and then it headed straight down and I got cut off, I have no Idea what it was but it ran much faster than the T's and it was hooked over sandy bottom... my Buddy kept telling me that he could not keep up as I was being pulled,and when he hooked up I came to realize what he was talking about!!!! it didnt feel like I was moving to quickly but I guess I was!!! He did have a great introduction to Kayak Fishing though, he's definetly Game to buy one now!

I was using 30lb and 40 lb spectra and 35 lb flouro leader,my daiwa sealine and saltist held up great.

Now I want to do it all over again

Take care,

King Diamond
