L.J. 6/4 Lost Rod - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Started making bait in front of the hotel in 30' of water, there was so much surface activity i decided to see what it was and started throwing home poured swimbaits. three juvenile wsb. and wide open calico's too many too count up to 4lbs. all released. Then caught a 6lb. bonie on my bass rod. while bringing one of the calico's in flyline rod takes off rippin' somehow tangles with stationary rod and begins to flip me. had to let go and watched in horror as my torium 16 and graphite heads west. Oh well another sacrifice. I hear on the radio two guy's talking "You're not fishing bass while y.t. are biting are you" So figuring i missed it i headed out with my last two baits in a 100' of water in front of the hotel pb'r tells me they have 5 aboard. Flylined a greenie and down to fishing my sabiki rig for the other with a small squider double hookup landed a pair of 12lb. twin y.t. Lots of fun but lamenting the rod loss. It's the first one and i hope not to repeat!
