Shelter Island 4/19 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

rogersmith · 04-20-2009, 10:06 AM

Did pretty well off Shelter Island yesterday, 8-noon, outgoing tide. Four spotties and three sandies. Sandies were over 2lbs and one spottie was a pig. Found the trick was to drift my swimbait on the bottom, no retrieve, just the yak's motion was perfect.
