LJ 6/22/2017 AM - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

ratdog · 06-22-2017, 12:30 PM

Launched at about 0515am, huge surf, very overcast. Made plenty of greenies real fast. escorted a flylined and Carolina rigged greenines to about 130Ft when wham my Carolina rig started screaming. I grabbed it set the hook and saw that the line went strait out on the surface and immediately thought pesky "T". After some very strong runs I got it alongside to see a approx. 20lb YT. Gaffed him in. Water temp was 65. Saw several what I thought were small mako's. Kinda don't like seeing sharks come to my kayak.

Uh-oh. Surf forecasts seem to be not too accurate lately.

Surf-Forcast predicts approximately 2' waves with 5-10 mph wind through the end of Sunday.

All you fish catchers are living my dream! Good job! Jim

Congrats on fish. Ocean was super rough today. Got a bit seasick. Forecast was 2-3 foot waves. Thinking a pure 2-3 ft west combined with a 2-3 ft south is bad for lj
