LJ 3/4 AM - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

FISHIONADO · 03-04-2007, 02:50 PM

Launched just before 6:00am, easy ankle high waves and slight offshore breeze. I headed west for almost 3 miles trolling a jointed rebel and then south for a while, lots of birds working all over. One of the PB's said it was squid pushing up the bait, he caught an 8lb squid. I never caught bait so I yo-yo'd a 6x jr and soaked a gulp mackerel on a halibut rig. Nothing touched the 6x but I ended up catching about a dozen calicos on the gulp at 80 - 100'. They became a nuisance and pissed me off until I decided some of them had to die for dinner, they were 14" and 16". The breeze calmed around 10:00am, I landed at Noon, 6 hours and 10 miles per the gps. I wouldn't be surprised if some bigger fish were caught but I didn't see any and everyone I talked to just complained about those pesky calicos.

Caught about a dozen of these guys on the sabiki.
