I had three straight days of beautiful weather.... enjoying a long weekend stay at a summer home right on the water. Brought the kayak and fished from it several times a day......found myself right in the middle of feeding fish almost every where i went....caught a lot of small stripers and sea bass....at one point I saw a bonito jump clear of the water right next to me....paddled in the direction I saw them surfacing and made casts into them several times but didnt hook up. Put on an epoxy jig....but from the kayak I had trouble making any casts long enough....forgot how difficult it was casting from the sitting position in a kayak.....frustrated I switched to a metal jig that went much further and finally hooked up....but to my surprise it was not bonito or albie...but a spanish mackeral. Came back to shore exausted and sunburned...but when I tried to relax on the deck....would see more schools of breaking fish and was compelled to launch and chase. Wife and kids were amazed at my energy and stamina......after all.... I am a senior citizen now.
