Launched from Pleasure Beach 5/20/04

I took the kayak out for a fishing trip with four others. Fished the bottom 1hr of the outgoing and first 3 of the incoming tide. 20+ stripers and a couple of bluefish between all of us. The largest was a 28lb striper (weighed on the boga b4 release).

The Nantucket sleigh ride was good.

This one is a Wilderness Tarpon 160, I have a T140 and a T120 for other conditions of fishing

It's fun to fight fish in the kayak. I got my kayaks from King Cove...

Nice fish!

Also, nice scribble on the shorline, but I can tell where you are from the little hill underneath your bent rod.

HE HE, that is a fake hill....
I know I I said where we launched from, but I didn't wanna give the coordinates away... I'll do that tonight!

MrsS, thanks.

Live well can be done in several ways, the most common is a cooler with a 500gph sump pump and a valve to lower the waterpressure. add a sprayerhead and you are good to go.

Look at the 115lb tresher in the picture, record are over 300lb now. So to answer the question, if they go for your fish, then the fight start all over with a bigger fish on the other end. (live mac's are preffered bait for shark fishing)

After the tournament I think I'm going to change my sig file to "Become part of the food-chain... kayak fish"

Just kidding. I have not had the honour of landing a shark yet, but I'd like to. I would use one of the 600lb capacity kayaks for that fishing trip, the kayak I use now are rated for 375lb.

Good eating!

Gotta be certifiably insane to want to do that or even be in such an exclusive club of shark-attacked kayakers, NilsC

I think landing a shark on a kayak is insane. But I would like to try it.

thats why they call it fishing not catching

Last Night on Outdoor Chanel

On Mark Sosig salt water chronicles low and behold he was fishin the ever glades on light spinning tackle for SHARK. I thought it was pretty funny that I was looking up sharks all day and then that show was on catchin em. He was catching them in very shallow water on like 15 pound test wire.

All kidding and bragging aside...

I'm hooked on kayak fishing. I can get to places I only dreamed of when shore fishing. That includes stretches of shore that I paddle out to, park the kayak and walk the beach fishing. Small islands, flats 50 to 100yd offshore.

drifting out breachways to fish the ouside. A nice example are fishing on "Suicide rock" when the tide is rising, then get back in the kayak and continue fishing long after I had to get of the rock...

Drift across worm hatches watching the fish eat in 1' of water, sit in the middle of a blue fish blitz when you hear a thump and looking around you see a blue that knocked itself out on the side of the kayak while chasing bait.

Feel the power of a large blue or mama striper when she takes you for a "Nantucket sleigh ride"

Adamfishes, those are big.... I'm not sure I'd liike to hook up with one of them....

It would turn the kayak into a little blue plastic bobber.
