6/22 LJ..lil stuff - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Iceman · 06-22-2006, 08:12 PM

Launched a little after 4AM. Small surf, just jump in and go. Saw the macs chasing fry under the pier lights well efore I got there. Easy pickins on my way and near the point at 5 AM. Few short rips on the flyline bait. Sculpin and sandie on the trap rig. Threw the swimbait for a few calicos and my first treefish.

Nice grey morning, saw a few fish puddling, but looked more like barracuda and one very small mako. Around 9AM my trap rig goes big bendo and starts taking line before I get it out of the rodholder. Started thinking maybe YT or WSB, but fish stopped and started coming up heavy. One solid headshake and I felt that dull pop of the hook coming out. Mac was still hooked on just the treble and had deep rakes. One last Sandie on the swimbait and headed in around 10AM.........work sucked :lol:

".........work sucked." ---Probably because that nice flattie decided to let go of your bait.
Thanks for the report, better luck next time getting your 2-pointer.

Buddy: OK
