Iron time math..... a good friend once told me you will get a shot at a big fish on iron once out of every eight times you yo-yo, fortunately or unfortunately I have found this to be very true!

Back in the day, before I got into kayak fishing, during the winter months when the palegics left town I would get out the bass rods and practice C & R on bass. Usually off the dock at Harbor Island and Shelter Island. This is a great way to practice your hook sets and angleing skills. I would spend every hour of high tide that I could fishing these bass. Year after year I would do this and each year hopefully I would learn alittle more and alittle more! You can use bass fishing as a way to enhance your fishing skills, it sure worked for me as well it could work for you. During the winter months keep fishing no matter where. Your skills at catching small fish will transfer over to the sucessful catching of palegics, I guarantee it....

Nice truck load of "sea kittens", T-bone. Big MEOOW!
As for me- 11 LJ trips over 2 yrs and no YT or WSB landed. But, the suspense, enthusiasm, hope, and excitement before each trip prevents me from sleeping the 1-2 nights prior. LJ is a magical place, with or without catching big fish (although I would REALLY like to find out what it is like by hooking on to that big one!)
