ARW 5/18

Felt like keeping fishing simple this weekend, and it doesn't get much simpler than just staying in the A and hittin' the wall.  Pushed off just before 8am.

Did some trolling until the winds kicked up, then switched to a swimbait and cast that around while drifting.  The wind working together with the incoming tide made the drift crazy fast, but I managed to stick another just legal (23-24") hali.  Didn't measure, just a couple pics and a wet release. 

I wish I had my camera ready the first time I made a grab for the fish's tail.  The fish wanted NONE of it, and started another run with an impressive tail walk aross the surface of the water.  I finally ended up grabbing the leadhead and giving it a shake for the release.
By then the water was lumpy, and I was sunburned so I called that good and left to go eat.

Lotsa boats out there, but no other kayakers that I saw.
 

nice work with the swimbait Nate.

Dude!  I got my yak, let me know when you're hitting the wall next.

Nice work with the swim bait,

Think I'm going to stick with that,

Thanks for the pic of the Fog Too....

 Been up here in Sac for the last 2 days...
