4/9.....everyone is catching wsb........ - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

nmbrinkman · 04-09-2006, 06:39 PM

execpt me. went out for my first time in a kayak caught nothing but a sunburn.....got out at 6:30, couldn't find bait til noon. By the time I caught enough, the current and wind had pushed me so far southwest, it took me 45 minutes to get back to the kelp near the buoy... by the time I got back to the buoy, i was so exhausted from fighting the current and wind, I just called it a day by 2:00.....All you veterans make it look so friggen easy.....I guess it takes some experience.....maybe next time......

Pretty freakin amazing! :shock:

Boiling, foaming sea bass in all directions at 10am. First Grego, then MS, then shear pandemonium. Like the Dec yt bite, but with sea bass!

I got all my bait stolen by sea bass and then switched to surface iron. Markin fish all over at 25-30 feet down, bite after bite with no solid hooksets. Finally got the hook in one but was embarrased to say it was the smallest of the bunch at 36#.

Never seen anything like it. Wow! :shock:

Ryan The Sealion · 04-09-2006, 07:18 PM

some1 shoot me now :x hope they stick around...

Corey · 04-09-2006, 07:55 PM

Nice one Pat. That's a pretty nice fish for being the "small one". I hope they're still around on friday. I've never been in a wsb foamer before. That's pretty crazy.

get bent,

corey

Nice fish Pat.

It seems the WSB are following what you said in the "tip of the week" article. Same spot, same time, not to mention same lure. Very interesting.

tylerdurden · 04-09-2006, 08:15 PM

Fantastic! I couldn't believe that spot of boils. I got to watch the show at least. I missed out on landing one. It seemed like there were a lot of pulled hooks. The only reason more weren't caught was bait was hard to find. Anybody out there with a bait got picked up at least.

Razorback · 04-09-2006, 08:36 PM

Hey Pat -

36# is no slouch of a day at the office.

Looks like it's showtime - I'll see if you boys left any for the old timer manana`.

Congrats on the ironman Ghost.

nmbrinkman - keep trying - I sure as hell ain't giving up.

Grego · 04-09-2006, 08:59 PM

That was HOT. I was one of the lucky ones, it was unreal watching all the hookups and bendos and boils. Thanks to Brad and Pat adn everyones posts, it gave me the motivation to make the drive....oh, and of course Gabe, he practically ran my cell phone battery down kick'n my arse to meet him down there..Thanks Bro!

blackcloud9 · 04-09-2006, 09:00 PM

Iceman · 04-09-2006, 10:05 PM

Wow great pictures Paul!

PAL · 04-09-2006, 10:09 PM

I hope they are good Andy; the pictures are all I got!

They'd look better with some cleanup. A few better ones might pop up in a while.

Zed · 04-10-2006, 07:17 AM

Nice "work" everybody.
What water temps are you guys working with down there?

Have you hit 60F off the point?

Just curious, cause they sure look like they came for blood all of a sudden.

Holy crap :shock:
Sweeet Bejesus
