Lost what would have been first legal butt. - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Hey I'm the dude that asked you about BWE there. I saw that nice double hookup, close to where I caught a legal 3 weeks ago (on a big hammer!). It's been a pretty active area lately, you'll get em next time for sure.

This morning, I had one hold on to the back half of a sardine this morning. When I got him about four or five from the yak, he bit my bait all the way through about a half inch behind the bait. At least they are being aggressive.

So let me try to cheer you up...

First, YOU'VE BEEN FISHING SINCE WED... Let's trade places (75 hrs this week of work

).

Second, You are getting more experience... you know what they say about that paying off... You know where to fish for them and that's 3/4 of the battle.

Third, use larger baits for the larger fish. Sometimes it's that simple.

Fourth, I suggest the use of a stinger treble hook so that you have a more solid hookup. You can clamp down the barbs so that you don't injure any short fish.

Finally, You're our 'Hero of the Week'. I'm sure others will agree that we are sharing your trips vicariously until we hit the water; hopefully soon

.

P.S. If you see me on the water, you get 2 cans of beer from my cooler...
