I'm back to fishing from the kayak when I have the right conditions and tides in the places I want to fish. Tonight I went out and found good numbers of big fish- slots and over slots. My biggest was a monster that was in the 40 to 45 inch range. That big fish fell for an unweighted 5.75 inch Finesse Fish twitched along the top. So, I was using a "finesse approach" tonight. I was using light tackle: a 7 foot St. Croix Triumph rod, a Daiwa BG 3000 reel and 20 lb. test braid. Needless to say, the fish took me for a ride!
Biggest of the year thus far for me. It was an evening of big fish from the yak. |
