Summer YAK Shark trip! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Well I am in just let me know the time and date

I think catching a shark from the yak is something everyone needs to get out of their system at least once, but it is kind of a letdown. It sounds so exciting but the reality is often pretty boring. A big YT will give you a much more exciting fight. Mouth hooked T's tend to come right to the boat and then just dog you. Tail hooked T's tow until they die, then you have to lever them up from the bottom.

Tyler said all that needs to be said about makos. They are pure evil. I love and respect those fish. Even with the utmost care it is a risky proposition. If you have a support boat you might as well just fish from it and save yourself the hassle. LJ is obviously a nursery for makos and I personally don't like to target the pups, though I will toss an iron at one if I see it.

The most exciting shark hookups I've had have come when I wasn't trying for them. Spend enough time fishing LJ for YT and you will get into a shark or two.

I think my favorite pic is of Brad w/ thresher on & w/ hot dogs on... the 4th of july?

Classic!

you mean this one:

It's tough to cook and fight T's at the same time, even if they are small.

I think that was the day 7 of us had 20+ sharks between us.

Great pic Brad.
That grill looks cool.
Is that a market grill or something you came up with on your own?
The smell must have driven the other guys crazy.

So I walk into Turners Outdoorsman and what do they have playing on the tv? The Threshers on Kayak video featuring "Rhyno", the one where the guy gets the Rapala sunk into his chin.

I bought a brand new shiny blue mack CDMAG-18.

By the way, Im in...

Friday afternoon to evening 23 or Saturday all day 24 May. Lets get a consensus on this both days are good for me.

If we do it on friday, i want to make sure that every one buddies up and we all have lights just in case a fight carries in the dark. Launch between 3:30 and 4:00 till we all get tired of trolling.

Saturday, I don't know should we do it late, all day, or evening. Stilll want everyone to buddy up, that way we all have assistance landing the big one when we get it.

I would still like some one in a boat if possible, to help haul fish and be a spotter in case someone is getting towed deep.

Also, would anyone be interested in gentleman's wager, in the pot, refund for no fish caught or biggest yak eater caught payout?

Have fun on the water this week end.

Dave
