LJ Hot Bite, late May - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

kauaiboy04 · 06-05-2015, 09:50 AM

So, if you've not heard about it, the bite was insane in late May. I was able to get out before the crowds with Jarrod and a couple friends (and may have unintentionally blew up the bite) and got on some nice fish! Bait was everywhere, and the water was a mere 65 degrees. The yellows were stacked, and bit pretty much everything we threw at them. I got one on the yoyo, flyline, dropper, and some followers on the surface iron. I hooked 9, but lost 6 of those to seals/bad knots/line breaks.

Went out another day with the crowds and hooked up a couple times, pulling in a BSB and a shark! Lost some others to bad knots and breaks...always learning!

Yep you parked right behind me. Thursday was a good day. I couldn't connect until 12 or so, then I got a couple within 5 minutes of each other and called it quits.
