Cabrillo harbor - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Biggameaddict · 03-30-2013, 04:43 PM

Got up at 4, loaded the gear and tha yak, out at 5, at the launch at 6. Met these two other yakkers just as i was going to launch, one in a santa cruz raptor and one in a pa 14. Paddled over to the bait barge got a scoop of dines, great sizes, and trolled around a bit. Didnt get much action but then i get slammed all of a sudden on the sardine in 50' of water and the line starts peeling like crazy and as i get the rod it pops off. Reeled in the rig and the trap hook was gone and the line was cut from the 3 way swivel. I trolled a bit more, saw another yakker in a yellow 4.7 without any action. It was 11 so time to head in so i bounceball back then get hooked up again. Im reeling this guy in and its peeling line off my sx like nothing. I thought it would be a nice Hali but it comes up and i see its not even legal, these things got some muscle.

Now about that mystery fish, it was like a freight train, it had an initial bite then started to run like there was no tomorrow like there was no drag on it. I didnt feel any headshakes just pure weight and speed. The bait was ok when i brought it up but the trap hook was cut about 5 inches from the hook. The thing is though, after the fish broke off i saw a few dolphins jumping pretty close to me and that was the direction the fish ran.

Pics soon.

Yup, very slow day for our group.

There is always one oddball that catches a fish when no o e else does.

Where were you team sewer guys at? I didn't see any of you out there. Luckypig, it was nice seeing you out there, I forgot to as if you were on BWE or not.

A Dolphin surfaced over here

My buddy hooked a thresher shark out there last year around this time, there were a few bait balls of diens from the bait receiver to the channel.

Tony is Odd and looks like a Ball....ergo=oddball

that mystery fish was probably a 34.78lb halibut, they do that from time to time.
