hey guys,

short time lurker 1st time poster...
got to the launch at 600,water was 67 ish or so paddled out to the old floating castle i think? pitched a krok and a scampi for nada,
paddled to the end past the marina where the fish were blitzing(macks yfcs etc...) hooked up with a nice greenie when we got to the spot,and 4 barrded sb and a nice YFC.

started jigging the krock when my rod doubled over,felt the nice headshake and the fish wasnt moving ,started pulling him up when the hooked pulled...this happened to me twice yesterday

might need to get an open faced reel now...i know nothing about these reels,does anyone have a reccomendation for something in the 20-30 lb class,probably for trolling.

ive only been out in a kayak 6 time and been toTP 2x without gear,got pummeled coming back to shore several times,ill just have to keep up the practice

many thanks\
