Took 45 days but got back in the Saddle - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

rhyak · 11-19-2014, 08:52 AM

Well that took longer then I wanted after being attacked by the tax man, the last two weeks trying to get out the weather gods did not play nice so was not able to get out. But they gave us a break yesterday to hit the open ocean and get some time on the water.

Was not as wary as I felt I would be but none the less borrowed my buddies spare yak, picking up mine next week hopefully and will have a full thanks to OEX Sunset Beach when I head down and pick it up.

Loaded light this trip no camera other then my phone only one rod and a handfull of big hammers and bottle of pro-sure and the shark shied and headed to our spot.

Once there none stop action for me on the LINGs caught at least 2 dozen with none being short so that was fun for sure. 4 of them pushed 12lbs kept the first two.

Flat water paddling out...

First hookup of the day...

The two lings I kept...

One of Kurts lings...

Kurt hooked this guy and we were able to get him to swim off with no issues... Pretty rare for this far south that is for sure. We get our fare share of Canary's but Yelloweye's not so much.

So did Hobie do a warranty exchange for shark damage?

Do you runt s/ s constantly , or only when reeling in fish ? I have a brand new unit , that has not seen water yet . It's not a bad piece of insurance if paddling the Malibu area ? (Or up north) . Maybe the big ones moved up to the islands already ?

Glad you got back out there Ryan nice fish

makobob · 11-19-2014, 10:25 AM

Ryan, glad you are back in the saddle. Let me know when you are ready for Baja.

jorluivil · 11-19-2014, 10:46 AM

Didn't know you were gone

Welcome back!!!!

Ryan,

Maybe you can post a news link so everybody knows what you're talking about.

addicted2sp33d · 11-20-2014, 07:08 AM

Way to get back on the "horse".

blitzburgh · 11-20-2014, 10:22 AM

Cadillyak · 11-20-2014, 11:50 AM

Glad you are back and looks like a good day on the water also.

Hunters Pa · 11-21-2014, 08:07 AM

Way to get back out there and it looks like you were rewarded.

Would probably take me a lot longer to clean the poop out of my paddle pants if it happened to me.

FISH11 · 11-21-2014, 08:10 PM

Welcome back to the water. I think if I had gotten a 10' catapult into the air from a 20' GW, it would have taken me longer than 45 days to get back in a kayak out in the central coast.

roby · 11-22-2014, 04:16 AM

Two dozen lings? It seems you still have the touch even though you were gone.

Welcome back Ryan...

BottomFeederPeter · 11-22-2014, 09:45 AM

And you went with the same color!?!?!?!

KIDDING

You have major ocean cred now. Its hard to see on down scan, but the fish are actually lining up to bite your lines out of respect.

Hope to see you out some time so I can shake your hand!

FlyFishinYakr · 11-22-2014, 02:38 PM

Glad to see that you didn't let "the tax man" intimidate you off the water!!

I can't say that I would be back so soon after an event like that, but that's just me

Nice fish! That lingcod you released was a beast! That yellow eye swam off like a champ!
