One Squirt 9/11 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Dannowar · 09-11-2012, 03:27 PM

Got on the water at 3 am to do some calico fishing, as it seems whenever I'm out super early, I always seem to nab a few good ones. The current and pitch black night made it pretty hard to focus. Sun starts to come up and all I have are two 12" greenies one of which gets hit, hard, and the other torn to shreds by the sea dogs. After asking a couple guys if they found squid, I started to feel that lingering feeling of doubt. Next drop of the squid jig and we have ink! Immediately pin him on and down to the depths. Not 10 minutes after watching someone lose a fish at color, my reel goes berserk. Fought for 20 minutes or so and another yakker is bent. We both landed our good size yellows and headed in laughing and exhausted ( I was at least). Can't complain, made a new friend and landed my first kayak YT. I'll leave it to him to post pics of his beauty. Here's mine.
