Prefishin' Mission - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

kauaiboy04 · 05-01-2014, 11:48 AM

Decided to do a little prefishing for this weekends tourney, yesterday afternoon. Grabbed only my bass gear, and was OTW by 4:30pm. Couldn't really find numbers OR size, but did find a pattern on what they were hitting (my secret). Of course I catch a non-targeted species, one such that has eluded me in size for a long few months. with no gaff or gameclip on me, I beached my yak and landed her on the sand.

Taped out at 35", new PB for me! Here's to hoping on catching the targeted species for the tourney!

That's a sweet catch on bass gear. I always bring the gaff. You never know

Stupid "bycatch"!

I hate it when that happens.

nice catch. thats exactly what happened to my son and i last sunday. we went there to scope the place out for the tourney and it was our first time fishing mb. i ended up catching my first halibut, a 27", and same thing, no gaff or game clip and i had to paddle to shore to land it. i even forgot to bring a cooler, so we just took a quick photo and released it.
