Yellowtail on the Iron - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Ok I got a call at about 5 am saying it was all bad so I stayed in bed after waking up and checking the buoys and wind readings, some brave souls attempted and so far I know of one gentleman flipping and ingesting saltwater and having to be helped in and then go to the hospital. I know of at least 2 other guys flipping and turning around and paddling in.

That being said please fellas take the proper safety precautions, always check the conditions and if your 50 50 on them use your better judgement and do the smart thing that matches your abilities as a waterman. I hope eveyone is safe and dry! Obviously the bite has been good of late but a fish isn't worth risking hurting yourself or putting others in danger or losing your gear etc..

Fish smart and fish safe! If anybody did make it out and score a fish today it certainly seems like you earned it today!
