Another new member post/ Sewer report - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

User name · 07-15-2014, 07:29 AM

I have been lurking BWE for about 3 months and have been fishing from my yak for about 7 and finally caught a fish I feel is worth a post.

Got to the Sewer at 6am on Sunday and caught some bait in the kelp beds inside the break wall. Loaded up on small smelt (8-10) and headed out to deeper water. The lizard fish were out in full force and stole almost all of my bait. I set out my sabiki right on a school of mackerel and was able to fill my bait tank again. Took one of the mackerel from the sabiki to my main line and about 5 min later it got slammed. I still don’t have a gaff so I fumbled around trying to get my fishgrips set, and then landed my personal best Halibut at ~31”.

Hey are you another one of those FNN guys?

Nice catch! See halibut fishing is easy!

Was it really that hard to think of a user name...?

Nope, not an FFN guy, just a former lurker sharing my catch.
And I created another account but never got a confirmation email so i got antsy and created another one with the first thing I saw.

I have only fished that area a couple of times. Can I ask where you all launch from?

I usually park in the single parking spots near the boat launch and wheel my yak to the far edge of the boat launch. Sometimes coming off the water there are a lot of boats there but its usually fine in the morning.

^ Thanks for the info. I never used the boat launch and will look it up.
