Slow Pitch Jigging off a kayak

[JohnMckroidJr]

Has the fever hit the West Coast? It's been going for a few years off Florida. It is most popular for large vessels targeting less fished areas for Snapper and Grouper. For kayakers in my area, works on pelagics as there are not many snapper and grouper around. So far, I have refused to spring for a $1000 slow pitch jigging outfit, but with 30lb braid and some discounted jigs, I have been able to fake it.

This was a trip earlier this month when I was lucky enough to find a good weather day. Normally I don't catch larger Blackfin during February, so this feels like it's going to become even more productive.
