Hi, all. I started kayak fishing five years ago when a neurologist suggested the kayak paddle stroke might help preserve movement ability (trunk rotation) in the face of a progressive neurological disease. Never would have guessed I would end up spending so much time at it. Favorite piscatorial targets are delta stripers and large wild and resident trout. My last outing was Tuesday at uvr, jigging and trolling for macks and what ever. I was skunked but did have a nice grab trolling as I had pulled in a couple of colors of lead core in order to pass the Rapala HJ over a hump that topped at about 30 feet. The rod tip bounced a little then just bent slowly back as if I had caught the hump. With the rod in my hands, a fish with some power went for a short run then stopped to head shake and came unhooked. I will be heading back to uvr soon.
