LJ 4/26 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Fished LJ for the first time yesterday. Launched out before sunup and made a dozen macks/spanish. Trolled around till 1pm or so for no takers. I did end up getting my bait wacked by a thresher but it didn't take the bait. I heard a couple of yakkers came in with small threshers. What are you supposed to do when a thresher wacks your bait? I left it on freespool with clicker and went on paddling slowly like i was doing prior to getting bit. Went back and circled around but he was gone. In the event this happens to me again, any advice? Also, Is there usually that much bait around in the water. I tried throwing the yoyo and caught a big mack on the way down. Macks and dines everywhere.
