Dorados on the Yak? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I went about 7 miles offshore one time with the scallywag in a tandem Hobie. There was a school of greenback that kept heading west so we just followed it hoping for YT or YF. Before we realized it, we were off of OB/ point loma area and had to peddle our asses all the way back up to LJ against the current. No GPS, but for sure nearly 20 miles covered that day in about 14 hours. We didn't bring nearly enough nutrition.

Not to mention the only thing we caught on the greenbacks were 2 massive mako sharks who didn't have much interest in fighting on the line. They just swam straight in to our "boat", after jumping 8 feet in the air repeatedly. This happened twice, we would cut the mako off and they would just keep following us for the next hour, circling and free jumping to see where we were. Super gnarly. I regularly spearfish the kelp... and I have never felt so vulnerable while fishing.

Have fun out there and be safe!
