12/23 Christmas comes early - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Launched with Steveooo at first light. Easy timing on the surf with sets that you wanted to avoid. Tough bait, I only had 2 greenbacks after an hour and figured I'd start fishing and hope more came through. Pulled up my bait to check it and a cormorant swam at it. He missed it but would not let me drop it back down. I dropped the Sumo blue and white down.

Right about the top of the tide. Deadsticked it for a minute and looking at the screen there were good marks coming across the bottom. Lifted the tip once and got tagged. Fish hunkered down and ran across the bottom before getting gassed and up for the floater gaff 30-35 pounder.

110 feet.........stoked! Probably my last fish for 2014......maybe not

I brought the good camera to hopefully catch some whale shots, handed it off to Steve for this one, we are taking turns.
