time to head offshore.... tuna... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Yeah I have been looking at the numbers and it does look really fun.

It is hard to go on a boat with lots of others when you are used to solo kayak trips.

The last time I was on a party boat, I was thinking to myself how much more fun kayak fishing is.

No tuna around here tho for local yakers

Congrats on the tuna....

I love a good sushi story, and the smoked strips sound yummy, congrats on the epic tuna trip, thanks for the report, and feel free to "distribute the wealth"
I mean sushi....

light 20-30 floro unless wide open then you can go heavier...1/0 or 2/0 hook to match the bait size..

I went 3 weeks ago. Weather sucked that day. As the deckhands told me i went on the worst day of the whole year.... but other than the day i went the fishing is sick right now! Wish i could go again but the bank says otherwise.
