4/25 Windy morning in SD Bay - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Met up with Sherm at 0600 Saturday morning. Launched the yaks into a "slight" breeze. By the time we got to our hali hunting grounds the wind was blowing big time. Fish were biting but it was all we could do to keep in one spot. Even when we were trying to take fish off the hook we were being driven into the shore

. Said screw it and crossed back over to calmer conditions.

Fish were not active on that side and the wind seemed to be laying down so back over we went to the other side. Of course after we got there the wind picked up again big time

. Crossed back over and fished the moored sailboats for a few more spotties.

Called it a day after only 3 1/2 hours. I think I caught about 7 or 8 spotties and a couple sandies. All C&R'ed, caught using swimbaits smothered in Unibutter and Gulp! jerkbaits.

No flatties but at least I got out feeshing for a few hours with my bud. Said hi to Mark (KruzCan) in the morning (thanks for the decal bro

). How did ya do out there Mark?

1st pic is of 1 feesh I caught on the bottom and 1 tossing a swimbait, the 2nd pic is of Sherm holding a porker spottie from last Sundays trip.

Peace,

Spyder
