LJ PM, Tails I win......... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

katchfish · 10-13-2006, 01:28 AM

Launched a little before three into perfect conditions.

Dropped of my hoops and made some Spanish.

Took one for a fly line cruse to the west, then south.

I hear some splish-splash and troll through the churning water and get picked up.

I end up sticking a seven pound football.

As the sun sets I head to the hoops.

The wind calms and the water glasses off nicely.

I pull up this sharky looking critter. The needle like spine in it's dorsal fin looks more menacing then it's teeth. :shock:

Land at 11:30 PM with these two tasty tails.

Another wonderful evening on the water. 8)

Dang, looks like the perfect evening session, a tale of two tail types...

Same results here. But, I launched at 4PM and armed with only metal and plastic. Thought I'd mess around inside until sundown then drop hoops. At around 6 I also saw a little surface activity and started throwing the metal. As I was winding in I thought I'd got hung in kelp, but it started going the opposite direction. Lifted this 7lb scrapper out of the water.

Through the night, I also got my second tail.
Nice shark Ken, that explains what happened to one of my traps. When I pulled up my trap, my bait was gone. The whole bottom mesh was eaten right through. Oh well. It was a fun productive night. Ended up landing at 10 with my pair of tails.

Horn shark. They've got two spines on their back, one on each dorsal but other than that they're harmless.
