LJ Shores, Feb. 10th - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I'm still mad about that day... After a fishless birthday at LJ(2/9), I went back the 10th. I'm kinda ashamed. I lost not one, two, or three. I lost four big fish. The first two were leader was bit off. The third lots of towing and thumpin' (hopin' big yellow), leader knot slips. The last felt like a hali, thought I lost it but it was still there... Heavy dead weight, then my spectra blows. Talk about heartbreak.. I'm takin' up golf! Oh, and a little rock on the iron.

Yea, the water did look good for some quality fish to be around! Bummer about your hookups, I too lost a decent hali, it must have swallowed the whole plastic cause my leader was frayed!

The last three leopards I've had all fooled me into thinking halibut. Headshakes, then dead weight. I hate those things.
