Paying my dues - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Tuna fishing is a real challenge on a kayak. When I was blessed to have a great fishing boat, I would cover huge amounts of water before finding tuna. Once found, it was amazing how concentrated they were. Drift out of the area and it was like a desert. Fishing tuna north of Mex is even more difficult since the fish are on the move and you need tons of bait to stop 'em. That may change with an El Nino. Looking forward to some fun trips in late Aug, Sept, and October catching yellowfin close to shore. In the meantime, guess we will just have to be happy catching 25 lb yellowtail locally....
