My first Grand Slam
 

Fished Jamaica bay this weekend with my friend MtnBrz1. We both ended up with a grand slam of Blue fish, Striper and Weakfish.
Since both of us are fishing from a kayak (kayak fish don't count) I hope you apreciate the picture. This was my first weakfish but I hope I get many more.

Nils

yak!!!

nice weaky!
fat guy, ain't he?

and whats up with that pink tube???:happy:

i think you can cram some more gear into that boat.

Nils - nice fish!

I'm actually interested in how you rigged your yak - it does look like it's a "loaded" model. I'd be interested if you were willing to share some pictures of how you have it rigged. I'm thinking of picking up a "sit on top" version like you have and would be interested how you rigged it. Do you have a particular rod holder you've found to work well? Do you have it rigged with an anchor?

THanks

Aint they pretty:btu:

thats awsome!!!!:D

Weakfish don't count :laughs:

Just kidding - nice squeet :btu:

I'm ready for mine any time now :smokin:

Let me tell you that the Bubblegum tube is killer from the yak! It's the only tube I'll troll now and it's what Nils and I got our slams on.

Nils' yak' is maxed out! :D He's got everything but the kitchen sink on it and I think he's takin' measurements to drop that in the rear hatch soon! LOL!

I don't have all the fancy electronics that Nils has but here are some pics of my T-160's config.


Tight Lines,

:btu: Nice Fish Nils :btu:

they are soooo pretty...and taste sooooo good:D

rob, love the pics of your set up! now i really have to get out with you guys! :drool:

Excellent!:happy:

:D
The Fishing Freak, it was a nice fish MtnBrz1 got one the same size.
Pink/bubblegum colored tube outfished everything while fishing from the kayak last season.
I'm working on the outriggers so I can put a leaning post for sight fishing the flats :D

Fliboy, I'll take some pictures. I redid the rigging friday before the tournament so I have no pictures yet.

Christian, Crafty, :cool: I love fishing the New England coast learning one little area at a time. Now I'm ready for tuna:rolleyes:

Rob, I have to find a place to put my pics... :laughs:

MrsS, Thank you. I have never eaten weakfish. This was a catch and release tournament so I didn't keep the fish :(

Toby, I was scooping out the river last night. I'm going to try fishing there this week. I got a FW lic.:D

Here is a picture of the fish that Rob used to beat me out of the tournament.........
:smash:
Nils

Yeah... That was crazy... We both caught a 22.5" blue, a 30" weak, and short stripers, only 2" difference.

Small fish (except for the weakie) but a great time!!!

Can't wait for King Cove's 1st Annual NorthEast Kayak Fishing Rodeo!!! :D

Toby - we can take care of ya' anytime you're ready!

Nils =Nice fish ================Yaks =count ===trolling T & W doesn,t ==============:D :D

:D so how many ways do we have now. I mean ways that "DONT COUNT" :rolleyes:
I know boat, t&W, river (chunk?)....:laughs:

Sounds like you guys had a great day and I don't want to burst your bubble, but does a "gland slam" consist of catching four diffent types of fish not just four fish?

i like the electronics :happy:
got a fridge too?

nice:D

My personal grand slam, The one I haven't been able to accomplish yet is Weak,Striper, Blue, & Fluke.

hey,
nevermind the outriggers.
get yo'self a stepladder.
it's like havin a "tower" on the yaks.

gotta get me some of those pink tubes!
the bluefish should tear them appart.

Last weekend I had a blue hit my tube and bite the steel leader in the tube off 1/2 way up!

I had another one that I went to pull on to show my wife all the teeth marks and it snapped!

The sure do some dammage to them but they are a lot of fun.

I can't tell you how many I got when I reeled the tube in, rippin' it across the top of the water, to check for weeds. They would strike it 3 or 4 times - until they got it! :D

JohnE, at the tournament they had 3 different species as a grand slam. I had 3 different species.... no bubble burst :rolleyes:

killerlexus, does a Cooler Count? :D

If a grand slam is 4 species, then I had only a slam...:smash:

fishinfreak, stepladder... hm there is an idea.:laughs:

Rob, another one... Are you not glad I got you 25......... :confused:

NilsC

Yeah... I couldn't believet it. :eek:

At least I can take the leader/hook from the tube that broke in half and put it in the good tube with the leader that broke in half. ;)
