Mas San Francisquito - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

aguachico · 06-25-2007, 09:51 AM

This is a pic of the cabin with the sun shades. This is the desert and it gets hot. We picked a cool weather stretch and it was really nice. the daywe left the weather started getting hot and the bees started to move in for the water. Yes Bees. They will alnd on you in the shower and drink water off your body. Beats scorpions though.

This launch is on the resort side, not where we camped. If the launch is 1.5 miles from the fish and you paddle .5 miles per hour into the current... you do the math.

After going 0-2 on the first day and s skunk the next, I finally put this 20# on deck. Switched to 40# ande with 15#'s of drag to keep it out of the rocks.

Bill , Neil and trout's yak garopa. Theyfound relief from the currents behind some rocks. These rocks turned out to be the ambush site for waves of gouper on bait hiding in the current break. In 20 feet of water you chances are slim to none, but these three were small enough to turn.

More toads for me. 27#

Bill and Neil with a pair of 24# yt. Looking at the head and shoulder when these thing come up, you'd think they were 30# class fish. We were a bit surprised at scale weights. They are short, stocky current swimming YT
