Giving the Yellowfin a rest .... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

For those of us not paddling out to the local banks looking for a trophy,
here is a late report from Saturday morning.

Launched Saturday morning from LJ at 6 am, and 29 mins later caught a
20 lb. yellowtail on the 3oz (B-52) bucktail with a twist trailer near the
bottom, around 115'.

On the beach by 9:30 for some boogie boarding with the little ones.

Pretty non-traditional choice of breakfast by this yellow, but I'd rather
dead-stick my favorite bait than a 6X Jr., they slow troll very well at any
depth, hang up less and don't tangle themselves. It worked anyway.

Beautiful morning, you know, we live in PARADISE

Kind of a bloody mess, but the she went immediately onto ice and the
sashimi was XLNT!!

Ready to go boogie boarding ... they can't wait for daddy to start
catching "lomsters" again.
