  • Some Tuesdays are Better than Others

    Launched well before sunrise yesterday (5:00) and on location by 5:30. Came back in darkness and left them biting around 7:30 pm. Our last time out was quite humbling and we were determined to improve this time. Caught a big number (70? 80?) between the two of us on 6, 7 and 10" BKDs/Bass Assassins. Most between 22-30 inches, all ocean-going. Key: find big current against the tide flows with deep water nearby...noting this particular location is very kayak-unfriendly. And get a bit lucky, frankly--the fish have to show up.

    Hands, thumbs and arms are wrecked today, which is a great pain to have. Hope others are able to get out on the water and enjoy the nicer weather. Will try to post a few pics.

    BTW--the Torqeedo 1103 is awesome on a PA14.

    You must be hard core if you spent 14 hours on the water in your kayak. 4 to 5 hours is about my limit. You did not note what species of fish you were catching, but regardless it was a very productive day. Nice going.

      I'll note that it was 14 hours in a wet suit, in the kayak. Which made it even more ridiculous. But it was so much fun neither of us noticed.

        If I spent 14 hours in a wet suit, it would be a very wet suit indeed, wetter on the inside than the outside!

                To be fair, my dad is 66 and was in an Outback... I at least got to stand up occasionally in the PA14

                    The really big question ??? Did you have taco's for dinner?
                    After all it was Taco Tuesday.
