Kayak Trips and Fishing Reports 2015

NICE! If I could ask what is that black plug near the fishs mouth in the first pic? Thanks for sharing.

Its a Rapala X-Rap Saltwater size 14 pictured below on a much smaller fish from that day.

Nice going guys. Really have to get a kayak one of these days. Seems like it's so much easier to find them that way.

Join the club! Its not easy, lots of hard work moving the thing around but it is definitely more effective than surf fishing most days/nights.

3 bass to about 25lbs and 14 bluefish on Saturday. Best action came on bucktails w/pork rind.



I really like this picture:

Very cool pic of that bass coming in. Looks like you kayak guys are doing pretty well with the bass and blues.

X2 I like that underwater striped bass pic.

[J Barbosa]

The underwater fish is a bluefish.

[hookedonbass]

Sorry dude it looked like it had stripes. Nice fish anyway it looks cool.

[seamonkey]

Yeah I thought it was a bass too! Have never seen a bluefish that calm in the water. Cool pic and catch.

SUP with rigging in the first pic.

"Took my new Sup for a ride, winds picked up hard to manage so I went to a near by island and had some fun with scrappy schoolies."

I just saw this....We probably missed the blues by now. Hey by the way you know those collapsible clothes hampers, they are made of mesh? I picked one up to use as a stripping basket when I stand and fly cast.

Rob,

Mario got himself a 12# fluke last week from the yak!

[surferman]

A 12 lb fluke on the fly. How the heck do you do that? Details please!

This kind of fly had 1.5oz of lead attached to it....bucktail

I believe he hired Elias the kayak guide....I am sure Dark will post the whole story when he gets away from his arm chair cell phone!

[DarkSkies]

I don't think he used a fly to get that fluke, people.
Believe it was bucktail and gulp.....though I could be wrong.....

"Had Mario and his friends out from Jersey with me. Fluke bite wasn't totally lock and but I guided him to his first DD fluke. We weighed the fish in at Bernie's and it ran 11.14lbs. Congrats on the fish of a lifetime and from a kayak. Not a whole lot of guys in that category Mario. Didn't go soft on the fluke myself, I bucktailed up a 28" fluke with the guys too."

Here's another video where he was doing well on fluke in NY Bight area....
