Dana 6/13-PB Calico - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

forefrazier · 06-13-2009, 12:29 PM

Sloppy weather and sprinkles in the forecast but wanted to get out and take the new Trident out for a spin. Not the best conditions to take up paddling again but managed to start the day with a big pull from a leopard shark that was pushing 4 foot long. Put a nice bendo in the rod but I was a bit disappointed when it came to color.

Nothing else for a few hours making the paddle back to the harbor and talking on the cell phone when the rod in the holder goes nuts. My friend on the other line is a boater/fisherman and heard the clicker...zzzzzzzzzz. Had to hang up on him

Thought I might have another leopard on again until my PB Calico came up. Taped out at 24" and swallowed a horse size sardine.

Not much action but this one made it worth the morning paddle....Released to fight again another day.

WOW! Very nice. Very worth it.
I went out of DP on Fri and have never seen such large and unpredictable rogue waves near Doheny and Capo Bch. Be careful out there!

Heres a simple Trident mod...
