Broke in the new kayak ... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I picked up Flemdoggs 2014 Revo last weekend and took a break from running my dads skiff and got out to finally break her in now that she is all set up right.

Tons of bait, although the pesky bones destroyed my sabiki early. Shit. Somehow made a mac or two during the day trolling a rapala and using the one hook left on my sabiki. Note to self: bring more sabiki rigs. Got picked up early on the troll, then landed two dinks on the surface iron and then got another decent one on a monster mac. Also, as a side note my leader snapped on the first fish so I had to run straight braid all day, seemed to work just fine!

Went 4-7 and released all fish ... per my superstition I released the first one since it was the first on the new kayak, but damn I love watching them swim away so I released the rest. Or maybe I'm too lazy to clean them ....

15 Second recap of my day:
