Yep, wet suit, PDF, radio, compass, perhaps a little air horn and flag. Boats, fog and wind are the big ones to watch out for and having a good fishing buddy is a huge plus.

Welcome! Kayaking is a big hassle compared to shore fishing, but the catches will spoil you forever.

This is true!

23"! Now that's a salmonoid.


Sure looks nicer than what I'm doing today, thanks for the report Joe!

Thanks for Da Fort report! Somethings wrong with my phone, can't see the pictures?

Eddie #2...😄

I have mine attached to a hand line reel. Seems like in complies.

I'm going to go this route as well wasn't aware it had to be immediately deployable.

Thanks for the stealth LM report!

Good stuff Joe, hoping to join you one of these days on an inland excursion. Thanks for keeping up with the varied and detailed fishing reports and I like the contrasting pictures even if Mabel is upside down. 🙃

 

Launched a bit after Joe and Mable, about 20' from the beach in about 8' of water lowered my first herring to check the roll and got hit on the drop! Fish shot off horizontal!! I'm thinking bat ray but was a just short butt figured it was going to be a good day!!!! 

Ended up drifting a gifted jack smelt around for some of time until I got bored and switched bach to trolling the herring which resulted in several more short strikes throughout the day.

Conditions where much better than I anticipated and was able to stay on the water till around 1:30. So far this halibut season has been much less productive for me than last year hoping I can start putting some decent fish in the kayak soon.

Sounds like a good plan assuming the weather cooperates. I'll add stay alert and be ready to move quick when crossing the channel those tankers and tugs in there scoot along at a good clip and form a sporty wake!

Fished 7-12 today for a 25,29 and 2 shorts. The tide was ripping! Look forward to meeting you guys tomorrow!

Heck yeah Rod way to prefish!

Reports are looking good. See you all in the morning!
