Tuna??? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I hooked all my fish at the front of the boat away from rental rods on live bait. Make sure to change your bait I was changing my bait every 30 to 40 second.

Ya changing bait frequently was key. I couldn't get away from the rental rods though, they were jammed pack everywhere. I was trying to fish the bow with iron and they would just come up, throw out like 6 feet, next to me, and watch as their baits went in every direction

Malihini count for today 46 people 121 Yellowfin Tuna, 3 Dorado, 230 Yellowtail, 4 Skipjack. I'm thinking of making the long drive from OC for another trip while the YF still around.

When I was out there, a while back, I caught two on bait.
Both on the long soak.
Then again, I was fishing off the bow to avoid the tangled, clusterfukation in the back.

Next time take your catch to 5 star fish processing. They are usually at the docks when the boats come in and are located over by sports arena. They charge $0.75 per pound to process the fish but they do a very good job. They have less waste, they vacuum seal, and label everything for you. I know the deck hands can sometimes butcher a fish especially when your still out and they are rushing to do a lot of fish then hand it to you in a plastic trash bag. Last time I went out the difference between having 150 lbs of fish done on the boat or done at 5 star was about $20. Well worth it to just go home and put all the labeled packages right in the freezer.
