C Bad 11-14 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

No problem. The fine would put a downer on the day.

I have tried to get live bait on the the Sabiki, but it is gets caught up in a lot of the eel grass. The best way that I have found if snagging them on a line with about 4 treble hooks about 6 inches apart. Take a loaf of white bread, for some reason the whole wheat doesn't work so well, wet is and toss it out. When you see the fish boiling on the bread you toss out you line a little past them and jerk your line through them and you will pick some up. You only need a 1/4 to 1/2 ounce weight on otherwise your line sinks to fast. Bring smaller live bait hooks because the smelt nose tears real easily.

Hope that helps. See you out there soon.
