My Cherry Poppin YT

[frugalfisher]

I launched at 9am, pabbled to the pier, made 9 blue back macs, trolled one high, one low w/2oz lead, cornered around the yellow bouy, headed out to 97 ft and the low line went zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Damn that is a good sound! I've worked hard at setting up and finding time to be on the water. Finally, my first YT from the yak. I proceeded to get sunburnt and release a hungry calico before deciding to go clean my fish. But on the way in I couldn't stop casting, nice drift toward the launch and all. About the 18th one and I hooked up hard on the iron. First time for that strong of a fish but my drag was too tight and I was the fish killer so I was horsing it too much and it came unbuttoned. At least I was rejuvinated and made a few more drifts and 50 more yoyos in 100 ft.
All in all it was a beautiful day, I saw only one other kayak in the distance and only 3 or 4 pbers all day.
The surf was 1-2ft, water was clear with some brown slime on top in places, no wind in the morning but by 1pm it kicked up pretty good.
