Did some skinny water kayak fishing sunday.... and took to the ocean monday. Sunday creeped around my fav backwater spot... got 4 keeper flounder (or Flukes as you guys would say ) Lost a few others.... all in 2' or less of water on rootbeer/chartreuse curly tail DOAs on a 1/8 oz jighead... Spooked a HUGE redfish early that morning, that still haunts me (had to have been well over slot) Threw a WAVE when he panicked. Monday headed off the beach as it's been as flat as it gets... trolled for kings. Pulling a Manns Stretch 25 on wire, and a large swimshad on fluro......rt away, got a solid hookup. Thought it was a NICE king. Turned out to be a foul hooked bonito Still got the blood flowing .....A little while later... same rod /rig... ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ..... OH SHIT. BIG King, dumped like 50 yards of line instantly..... then gone. Ate through the Fluro. Wind unexpectedly came up pretty solid from the NW and kinda kicked my ass.... There were Spanish Macks jumping all around, but the tackle I had was too big, and the surface chop made it hard to see, and impossible for me to stand and sight cast.... came in after 3 hours. Pretty spent. Wanted to get after em tuesday as it was FLAT but don't have it in the tank to lug all that gear down the beach and paddle for a few hours.... went out a mile plus on monday...and trolled the whole time. did sneak out wednesday morn... 3rd cast a decent flounder inhaled a 6" DOA jerkbait. thought it would be on fire... just ended up with one more small one, and I only kept him because he inhaled the jig/grub to his guts.. back to work/reality....... sorry about the lack of paragraphs.... whats the deal with this site?
