DP 05-30 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Okay, water has settled down but is still dirty and about 62 degrees. Bait was anchovies, nice ones too, lively. Weather was overcast, the wind was lite, no real wind chop. On the water around 7am.

Bass were hungry early but tapered off. Ran into a school of small barracuda, had them boiling around the kayak, cool. Had a GW launch itself a good six feet clear right off my bow again again, I'm thinking it might be personal.

Caught a lot of bass, some fairly large, a short halibut, several small barracudas, and lost an estimated 10 pound sheephead at the yak (net got tangled with the gaff, was trying to undo when the fish caught me off guard and made a run under the kayak, line popped, grrrrrr). Off the water around 4:30pm.
