Starting New Years right....

[seaquinn]

My son, on his first saltwater kayak trip gets a great score. We launched before sunrise on News Year Day. A cold start, but we dressed well.

We went on a tandem kayak, and I got one YT before sunrise, and he hooked up soon after, and landed a 4.5 foot leopard shark, we released, but it struggled mightily. All on squid.

Soon after, he hooked and landed his first kayak YT, and we were on the beach by 9:15. Check out the awesome lake-like conditions! Talk about spoiled.... one trip, just a few hours fishing, and home with a 22 pound yt.

He has caught many from power boats, but first kayak yt. I put a photo below of his personal best, at 28 pounds at about age 10. This kid can fish. (ps.... he is 6'1", so the fish was a biggish one)

ps again... the surf is supposed to start getting really big this week. Only 3-4 foot Sunday, but up to 15 feet by Thursday, according to Surfline.com. Watch out.



many years ago.... a happy, tired face... and a 28 pound YT he fought a long time.
