LJ big bonita - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Went out Sunday in hopes of a repete of last week. Launched to a really high tide at around 7:00 am, the water was lapping the street. No wave but a little windy and choppy. A long story short, wasn't much going on out there. In the afternoon in about 140ft of water I got a hook up on the yo yo iron. Thought it may of been the right kind but it turned out to be a big, maybe a 8lb bonita. Hard fighting fish but on 40lb line wasn't much of a challenge. On my way in at dust I hook another small bonita at the kelp line. Tried for some rockfish but wasn,t nothen happening there not even a nibble.

Still a beautiful day on the water.
