Paradise 6-21

Big wind. No fish. Lots of bait in the water. The highlight of the day was seeing 2 kings roll on the surface and I saw a 5ft sturgeon completely go airborne with a huge splash. Drifted live shiners for 4 hours and then pulled the plug at noon for Fathers Day festivities.

There were sturgeon jumping all over the place on Friday as well.

Good meet you fellas out there I get to try my ride all I can say I was stoke with the stability of it, thanks to everyone who where there to help noobs like me , to Craig for the setup and livebait, Sonny (sailfish) for the paddle and great enthusiasm , kneeto for the roleez assistance in launching and bait, chad for the water and good chat, and everyone for welcoming noob to tag along you guys are all awesome, if I didn't mention your name please forgive me for being forgetful sometimes, Thanks again guys

It was a great day on the water even though the bit was not on. Two Hali's landed and I lost mine at the boat, (#&$&%^) net. I think Dave got some pics of the fight. Redyak got a stripper and and Chad a nice Hali.
The wind was gusty and just enough to be a pain in the rump at times.
Nice meeting some of the NCKAer's that I only know by screen name.
Do it again soon.   William102

It's a nice Father's day OTW with NCKA'er at Paradise.  Trolling and drifting live Shiners from 8am til 4pm without any lucks but I'll get them next time    Below are some pictures I took today:

Ready to launch




NCKA'er OTW






Congrat to a few of us who caught Hali today




Nice boat


When I left the park, there're still lots of people fishing from the pier

0 for 5 on the halibut but I did catch my first fish/ not stripper in the bay today. Released to grow bigger. Here's a pic of Will's dainty net.William and I are both picking up bigger nets before the next outing. A pic of Chevroletdayze continuing his catching streak. I got decent video of him fighting and landing this one but am clueless on how to post it. WTG to Chad and Kiel. Sonny/Sailfish was still out when we left. He fishes really hard. Talked to the DFG guy checking the pier fisherman's catch and he said only one striper and one halibut were caught. Saw them pulling up multiple bat rays though. Of course it was great to meet everybody today. See you next time. jim     Oh yeah, congrats to Darius on the new yak and welcome to NCKA.

Better luck next time Craig. Just be thankful you don't have my long streak of not
catching any halibut.

Good to see Kiel and Dave with their halibut. If I am not mistaken, Darius looks like
he was having more fun paddling than fishing.

Thanks Sonny for always taking some awesome pictures. Your timing is always
right on.

So it was you William_02 that I was watching trying to net that hali  , man you tried at least 5 times trying to net that too bad it wont fit on your net, those are heart breakers  , good to meet you there bro! THANKS FOR THE PICTURE sailfish  we should do this again!!!

My first time on that area, and my first halibut on kayak, this bastard even bit my finger!  ...Oh! well learned my lesson from there I should just smack his head first before taking out the hook. 


Nice meeting all you guys, hope we can to this again.
