6/30 LJ Bottom Critters and stuff - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I put at least 30 live mackerel on the hook today..... fished 6 am to 2 pm in beautiful weather with great conditions.

Total catch was 6 lings to 29 inches, a couple little cuda, and a huge calico on the way in. I lost a lot of fish today to dumb mistakes including some tail

I was fumbling today. All fish released except for the lingus.

Tip: I prefer to position my circle hook in the cheek when catching lings, thereby avoiding the teeth. :lol:

Here are the pics :

This huge calico was released very healthy after momentary photo op.
