Re: Kayak Sight Fishing

Tkmcknig,

What type of kayak do you have? Are you comfortable standing in it?

What would be the best lure(s) to use if I come across reds pushing during the negative tide on the flats? Unweighted jerk bait? Maybe a 3 in gulp shrimp, although I'm a little worried about making a quiet entry with ...

New Reel Pre Service, Service...

I was discussing reel maintenance with a customer today and ended up taking a Battle apart to give him a quick run down of my personal pre-service maintenance. The first three pictures are of the reel as it was stripped. The other before and all of my after pictures other than photo number four were ...

Re: Anyone have any tips on using a freeline?

When I lived on the East coast and fished offshore only we ran circle hooks. A lot of fish would hook themselves but you wouldn't have pulled hooks like you would with J's or fish you intended release gut hooked. As for the drag We always ran it as light as you could without it causing backlash ...

SATURDAY:

Woke up at 5:40 and was paddling out by 5:45. First cast of the day into a school of mullet yielded a 19.5" red on a Mirrodine. After a quick picture and release I couldn't find the ...

Re: bait for cobia

I'm a Hogy fan, the bigger the better. The 10" to the 18" depending on your rod and tackle should work great.

From Cedar Island to the north end of Grassy on a high tide paddle (saves about a mile or so one way over bottomed out tide) it's about 5.5 miles one way. I did just over 13 miles this past ...

Keaton 5-23

Had a late start this morning on the kayak but, it didn't seem to be a problem. Found the reds where I was expecting them... one week makes quite a difference. In 2.5-3 hours I landed 5 reds, had 4 missed hooksets, 1 break off and twice ran out of water between me and the fish stalking the lure. The ...

10/18 Keaton

Finally have been able to get out on the water. Last Sunday was the maiden voyage for the Yak, mainly paddled. Ended up releasing a lower slot trout, losing two at the boat and a few hits. Did a short trip late Monday but the weather & air boats did not let me fish.

Any how for today, got down to ...
