11-09 LJ - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

steveooo · 11-09-2007, 06:21 PM

Took the day off work, left the house at 2:30 am

, on the H2o by 4:30 am. Unfortunately, the only real action I saw today was the dude that parked his civic in the launch and was trying to make his girl famous with the new webcam.

Looked super fishy out there. Caught 2 sandbass on the surface Iron that were 4 and 5 lbs. Saw a few brute breezers in the NW, 100 ft, in between the two orange lobster bouys if they are still out there. Threw the iron and bait at them por nada. Caught a toad poorman's yellowtail (whitefish) while yoyo-ing, as well as 2 rockfish.
Wind never really let up while i was there, left at 1pm. Surf was non-existent. Pretty choppy the whole day too.

Thats all for the fish report. Side note- I realized today how much fishing from a kayak is a skill that takes practice. I haven't been for a while and I felt like a noob out there. Probably would have been pretty funny to watch, but my hands are full of holes where I hooked myself countless number of times, my pliers are at the bottom of the sea (i put them on the table next to me that was not there), and I am not even going to try to pick out the birds nest from one of my reels. Kayak fishing is a skill that you can lose if you do not practice, and I saw that first hand today. Oh well live and learn, don't ever take a break, and score some

next time!!!!
