After Txgvng Halibut Tourney boat report - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

lamb · 11-26-2006, 05:07 PM

Brad and I were looking for a flat lamb on ATHT.

We were mostly drifting, as the engine didn’t quite support bouncing (making roaring noise when starting, frequently turning off... :shake: ).

We had plan A, B, C, D and E, but we never moved past B. We seemed to have found them, and kept hoping for a bigger ticket. We caught 5 halibut - one barely over 22”, one 30ish” (10.something) and 3 shorts… We had a nice 27” ling, one big fat sandy and a couple of other aux catches. MadBrad and I hit it as hard as we could, nothing to whine about.

No perfect storm conditions this year for ATGH, nice change right there…

Thanks Mike again for putting together another awesome tournament. Lots of known faces and skiffs, great to meet people in person…Good seeing everyone

Here’s some visual:

Armada:

Our 1st biggn...

Unavoidable Le Tigre... :shake: Must have smelled friken' plastic on our asses...

Our contender fish (...we hoped

)

We run into Team Boom Zing to hear them complaining about the skunk… We tell them they’re just strategically waiting… Before you know it, they show us how it’s done – 2 on board…

Busy Mr. Petersen at the dock… Thanks again!!!

You guys did good! I tried to get in on a tandem yak. I did not like Mike's response :scratch:

Sucks about the boat trouble. You represented the plastic fleet well though. 4th among all those boats is awesome . :thumright:

Last year we asked, he said no yaks. I think he said safety is his concern (must launch at Dana). I don't see why not, it is very friendly event…

Apparently, Jasmin hates fishing for halibut so Adi had to go to the Bad Lamb bench. I'm always happy to be lambcrew for a day, even if we always seem to run out of beer. :bounce:

But with the way that motor was running, I was kind of wishin we had the mini X for backup. :P
