Congrats on your first Yellow Tail. Nice looking fish. You'll never forget your first and it will taste the best. The first Yellow tail on a kayak is kind of like the first sex you ever had, you'll never forget it!

SWEET!!!

Congrates on getting out there and staying with it. I still remember my first YT from the yak (not so long ago), and it was probably the best fish of my life...

Nice push


How long did it take that flat fall to flutter to the bottom in 140' ??

Not that long - I'm guessing 10 seconds for the 100g/3.5 oz weight.

Flat falls are weird for me.

You can either make them drop fast like dead weight, or you can make them flutter down. Fluttering down takes much longer than the straight drop.

To get it to flutter it seems like you gotta give the lure a lot more free slack in the line so it can do its job.

I'm still learning to fish the flat fall, so I'm open to more info!
