Q-105 Mothership Trip - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Jared · 05-22-2008, 07:09 PM

I love mothership trips! Such a good experience that I would suggest to any kayak angler.

31lb. Halibut in the first 20 minutes of the trip!

First time i've ever fished reds and I was told I'll probably never see one this big again. haha.

Nice work and some damn good eating!

Fish tacos galore!

That halibut is sweet. Not to mention you paddled directly to him from the boat and hit him on the head with your bait on Day 1.

Can't believe that you were telling me for three days that you caught a nice "15 lb." halibut ...

Very nice!

I'm collecting as bottles and cans to earn money for one of those trips.

nice fish!!!

Nice one looks similar to Flounder we catch here Down Under, just the right thickness to throw straight into the frying pan

That Halibut is sick, I bet you were so stoked. Kinda like a hole in one, dropping your first Sardine of the trip into a #31 Halibut's mouth. I would go rockfishing more often if reds like that were available. I just hope these experiences don't warp your sense of reality as it's not that easy.

Oh yeah, are you even old enough to drink?
