LJ 2-4-06 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Tried to do the Arne special. Got down there at 4:30 and raced over to the pier for bait. Threw out a handfull of dry catfood and had perfect greenies as fast as I could reel em in. Headed out into the blackness, almost got a little vertigo from the fog and sharp swell. Marked a huge ball on the canyon edge but not a lot after. Worked a number of spots but not much happening. Shortly after I hooked holy mac up with a choice greenback, this happened....

He got towed a bit, but not enough for us to think it was really the right kind. He looked happy though, even though he is now a half assed bass fisherman :P .

Fish pulled him into a lobster line that, despite our best efforts, we were not able to untangle. My call is a 30-50lb class BSB. Chris went to play with the little fishies and I headed out deeper. Lots of big bait balls but the water color varied between tea and coffee. No sign of anything big.

Heading in I found a big mass of greenies and stocked up on lobster bait.

Saw one big whale and a pod of dolphins, otherwise pretty dull and dreary morning.
