GONZAGA FYI - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

makobob · 04-24-2016, 11:23 AM

YT, mostly rats 5-10. Fished 30-150 depth, most hooked near bottom on marks. Spotties on shallow reefs, mostly small. One totuava about 35 lbs, released. One WSB about 20 lbs.. All hooked cabrilla ROCKED the angler and live to fight again. Still lots of nice sierra over 30 inches. Weather was fishable every day, never over 18 mph and temps were in the lower t0 high 80's. Most fish were caught on METAL if it wiggled it got bit. Tight Lines.

Hey Bob, thanks for posting the trip report. That was an accurate summary of my experience. I didn't catch anything over ten pounds, but I did catch quite a few. I got rocked by one nice cabrilla (?) before I changed patterns and worked on marking the pelagics in deeper water. I'm sure a more seasoned cabrilla chaser could have had more success than I did. I was going to post a video of me catching a couple of sierras and a rat yt in a span of about six minutes, but the video came out kind of lame (first go pro attempt).

Looking forward to the next Gonzaga/Encantadas adventure!!!

Good to see you had a good time.

defjack · 05-02-2016, 09:57 AM
