8/10 25+ lbs of YT - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Unfortunately it all came in 4-8lb increments. Wide open rats. Trained monkey fishing. Even Pat landed some :P . This monkey went to the pier and got a quick 15 baits. Guy in a skiff had to try to weave in between the 4 of us under the lights. Moved off at first hint of gray and did better out deeper. Once around the corner it was non stop action on rats, cuda, and dogs. My first two YT were the smallest of the bunch and died. Ran low on bait around 7:30 and started heading in. Last three baits each landed a YT, all within about 20min. Those guys lived. Lots of multiples on the beach, no big fish that I saw. Beautiful day: calm, warm, and clear. If you have someone that's always wanted to catch a YT, now's the time to take them out. Saw one young'un with his first, congrats!

Geez, mine were toads compared to yours.

All on iron, don't even need bait.

Even got one in 25 feet of water outside the children's pool. Shallowest ever for me.

Much slower tonight. The downhill current was not as strong and the water was a little chilly. Still saw one yt caught. Nada for me.
