Red crab invasion - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

YakDout · 06-14-2015, 07:25 PM

Very slow day for me out there. Bait was was few and far between. Not even a short bite today. Did see one giant pile of chovies with working birds in the AM, but couldn't find anything below them. Seemed slow for everyone else as well. Heard one dude hooked a yellow early but didn't see it. And didn't see anyone hooked up all day.

Who needs bait when theyre eating the iron. Doesn't get much better than that. BTW, that iron is that? Mike

It's the red invasion, they're still there. Saturday afternoon and today Monday was easy to make bait but no one wanted the greenies except, (you know) those Fu***ng seals. They ate 8 out of 10 greenies I caught for bait. Very persistent one got 3 at different times and I never saw him coming around, one he took while I was protecting it at the side on my kayak. He came from underneath and from the opposite side. Very sneaky Bastard!

Thanks for the iron ID. Does tady even make those AA lights any more? I have 2 and I love em. A bit hard to cast on a heavier jig stick but the action is great. I've found that by cranking half a rotation fast and the other half slow the AAs will do sort of a sub surface "walk the dog". Can't seam to make the bigger light irons do that. Haven't tried it with YT really but calicos seam to like that retrieve. Mike
