LJ fishing report for 8/24/16 Wednesday - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

MITCHELL · 08-24-2016, 03:59 PM

Calm conditions at the launch at 5am.Paddled out just past the boundarie and fished two bait poles one for squid and one for mackerel.while I was working a cuttlefish lure for squid the mackerel pole got bit with two Rapala size mackerel. I didn't no they were there and the two mackerel tangled my ganion and they almost died but I was able to save them.I could only catch one more but one gill broke so I released it.I put one mackerel on the dropper lupe and kept fishing for more mackerel off the church and big motel for a good 1...to 2 hrs but nothing so I decided to paddle out west and flyline my last mackerel was in 170 ft of water about 4 miles from the launch and zzzip fish on I bring to Gaff a nice yellow.with no more bait I decided to put the sail up and the Rapala out and head in only got one baby Bonito released on the Rapala to make a long story short prefect conditions but bait was not biting I'm pretty sure there were some hookups outside of me if you fished today lets hear your report water temperature was 68° to 71°

Why did you cut that poor fish in half?

bolocop · 08-24-2016, 07:40 PM

Probably to fit his cooler. That's probably where you would separate the fillets anyway.

How much did it weigh before blood loss?

MITCHELL · 08-24-2016, 08:13 PM

As is.

maquinapescado · 08-24-2016, 09:01 PM

Are you a crip? Blue kayak and blue cooler. I smell gangster.

Good job, nice catch, cut em how ever you normally do............

Enjoy it how you want.

That was not me outside of you in 170' using #30 fluoro, 4/0 Gamakatsu, and flylined spanish to catch three #20 YT.

How hard it fought on a heavy fiberglass rod.....I have a bigger cooler than won't fit in my buick for the guy that likes it pretty perfect......what's the diff...get it on ice ASAP it's going to my cannery anyway and my gang ties are followers of Jesus.....John 3.16

Nice Fish. Nice Boat too - don't see many of us "privateer" Cobras out there anymore.
