Kayaking Squatch

Caught something worth taking a picture of on  the kayak. Worked hard for it. Looked bigger in person.


Launched from O'side Harbor, paddled out to the artificial reefs and went from one to the next. Saw some bait scatter and I threw the megabait at it. Got bumped once, paused it, started reeling and I was on. Pretty good fight on 8# test. Not much else happening for me.

I did run across a school of bait, all layed out in a line, boiling like crazy. Probably 300 yds long. Cast at it, trolled along both sides, then what the heck, right down the middle. Didn't seem to bother the bait, nothing else seemed to be bothering it either. Think it was just happy bait.
You can't catch them from your computer chair.

Man, that really is a nice fish. Too bad nothing was chewing on all that bait.

Ran into a school of that size and bigger offer south island. Free swimmers hitting bait with the birds. All caught on megabits.

That good stuff right there!
