Kayak fish of the week Nov 21th-28th 2021

Even though there were several nice weather days during Thanksgiving week, Family activities relegated fishing to a quick launch 2hrs before sunset at the closest beach in Fort Lauderdale Sunday evening. Some friends got skunked on Saturday so expectations were low. With no live bait, it was a jigathon that was looking like a skunk all the way up until after the sunset.



Always stoked to get some fresh Blackfin Tuna!



The Almaco Jack was released to fight again another day.

Nice couple of fish. Were both of them on the slow pitch gear?

Thanks, Both were taken on jigs with slow-pitch style hooks -- they hook fish easier. The outfits I use are the same ones I use for speed jigging. The catch was taken while intermixing speed and slow jigging. I have dedicated slow pitch gear, but prefer the hybrid style.
With the speed conventionals, slow pitches are done as needed. It's more physical work, but when a connection is made, it's an easier land.
