I love tourist..... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Not only do they provide great entertainment while I prepare to launch, but are generally happy to take a photo. Another empty afternoon with no kayak fisherman and a couple of boats. The sporties were gone after 4:00p.m. and the Yellowtail came out to play.

I could of caught as many as I wanted, but had more important things to do. Like peddle for my life, since I neglected to properly fasten my drain plug

. I turned around and noticed my fish was dragging in the water (hmmmm, that's funny) and freaked when I opened my center hatch (half full of water

). Survival mode kicked in and I started bailing as fast as I could. Dumped my bait, emptied the tank, and peddled past quite a few lucky schools of Yellowtail on my way in. They were taunting me, and gave me a virtual escort half the way home. The good news is that my kayak passed the "fill up with water test" at home. I have a good idea where I'll be sunday afternoon, how about you?
