Solitude 7/16

[Afran]

Passed on the Sat crowd, Sunday's more my style. Launched 6:00pm. It was a warm one boy, hot. Only kayaker out until 8:00pm, then another guy paddled out. Hit the bouy, south wind, south current.

Hooked a 7lbs Boner on the Yozuri Plug. Checked it out, thought about keeping it, but put him back hoping I'd hook another later in the evening.


Kept going, still looking for bait. During the process, hooked up on a 5lbs Rat YT on the Yozuri. I took my time getting to the rod, thinking it was a boney. It made a short run, it came up and I thought, "YELLOWTAIL, Damn that's a small fish". Thank goodness it popped off at the rail, it would have been on the dinner table.

Finally loaded up on the Spanish. Holding in 66 ft of water off of the Hotel. Started flylining and pushing west. Got bit by a gut hooked sandie. Threw another bait back on for a 5.5lbs Calico.


The graph showed some really nice marks. Continued to work the area for another calico. Bass seemed to be holding in mid column.

Put my new Sealine 20 to use.


New Teramar Jig Stick feels really nice - 80MH.


New Bait tank battery worked great. May need to replace the FF battery soon.
