We tried. Attempt #1 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

kayakfisherman · 07-20-2016, 10:35 AM

Kenny, Andy and I left the yellowtail biting on the inside
to search for our pots of gold. 6 miles out it started happening.

Dolphins, birds then the tuna. Boils here and there. Birds here and
there. The three of us scattering and hoping. No bites. La Jolla
inshore was dead, plus the long drives home... No conservation
on the way in. Fun? You bet!

Let's Do It Again!!

Good try! Its like trying to find a hungry needle in a haystack, but when you do...

wiredantz · 07-20-2016, 10:46 AM

that what I been hearing from my friends who have been coming back on sportsboat... they go out, they see them play, they seem jump, freckle and dance.....

BUT THEY CAN"T GET THEM TO BITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and if somehow you get them to bite... U bet its going to be BIG......

bring the heaviest gear you got...... and landing..... its a whole other story....

maybe this is a new breed of highly intelligent nuclear powered blue fin.

Thank for posting the report. Wish I was balsy enough to go out the 6 miles. The going out I don't mind, Its the paddle back I'm worried about.

How long does it take you guys to paddle back and do you all have mirage drives?

WARRIORMIKE · 07-20-2016, 11:16 AM

thats a long haul for sure

kayakfisherman · 07-20-2016, 11:57 AM

No mirage drives, it's called paddle power. Time it with the wind.
Makes the paddle back much easier. For the easiest paddle back,
have a tuna between your legs!!

Roman · 07-20-2016, 12:22 PM

Woah! Awesome effort.

NICKWORN · 07-20-2016, 12:23 PM

Made it out 4-5 miles then mother earth decided to show off her power and serve us up some wind chop like no other, had to turn back and head in for safety reasons.

Looks like the weather was perfect for you guys.

Usually I just end up, on the way back, with my Schwanzstucker between my legs

6 miles?? How deep does it get? Navionics shows serious depth!

If it was easy...everyone would do it.

Did you notice what kayak he PADDLES that far offshore?
These three amigos are studs. If history repeats itself... we will being seeing Yanni & Crew yak tuna pics soon.

Any time I think I need a fancier kayak to go further out I remember that Yanni paddles that Cobra to the edge of the earth and back.

addicted2sp33d · 07-20-2016, 02:27 PM

Wow.

You get respect just for getting out there!

King Saba · 07-20-2016, 02:57 PM

Stud for sure. Paddling a cobra fish-n-dive 6 miles out is no joke. You'll get them soon Yanni!

YakDout · 07-20-2016, 03:16 PM

Nice report, thank you. I'll be trying here shortly also. Maybe a little further north though.

Iceman · 07-20-2016, 05:01 PM

Not sure what super pill my Chirp 4 was using, but I held bottom the whole way out and back at 6 miles we were in 1200 feet as warm as 75.5, lots of bait out there.

I do not mind working for that golden ticket! Hopefully again next week!

Case in point, I hooked a mako and had a pretty easy release, but shit can go wrong out there.

If you go, just buddy up and watch each others back. I am sure Yanni would have cut our 100 pounder into even 1/3s for an easy paddle back in

after a quick snack from it.

Iceman · 07-20-2016, 05:05 PM

I never really marked any to drop flat falls on, threw a popper hoping for a blind strike quite a bit.

YakDout · 07-20-2016, 05:13 PM

Were you guys trolling all the way out and back? Bait? Rapalas?
