First Kayak Yellow - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Phiderman · 08-02-2014, 10:07 AM

Short and sweet. Very wet low tide launch at 730ish and weeded through spanish macks for 3 good greenbacks. trolled / drifted the first mega mack (12 inches) about 45 minutes and clicker starts screaming. put the reel in gear and line breaks at braid floro connection. put second mack on and troll my way back inside for 30 minutes and pick up my first kayak yellow. long drive back to the 909, thanks to sean for the pictures and help landing.

It feels a little tippy at first but you get the feel pretty quick. Tracks really well and is surprisingly fast. I have a pretty small frame of reference being as it is the only kayak I have ever owned. Overall I like it a lot. Only been fishing on it maybe 7 times. Second trip to la jolla so far.
