Re: Non-resident kayak transport options

Re: Fishing bait schools

Finally hit one...on my last day fishing! Don't know what was different about today, but they were numerous...and hungry. I was actually 1 for 6. When I hooked this one, I was following a small but dense bait school. Got a large spanish on the surface with a rapala but nothing would hit the pinfish ...

Fishing bait schools

Heh, yeah. I've been doing that but it has been very unfruitful. I jumped around 15 this same time last year. This year, one.

Re: SHARK!!!

A shark expert said sharks are naturally curious about blue objects, look out Rik :shock: :D What's interesting is that on the west coast there have been a spate of GWS attacks on kayaks, and the trend is they prefer the yellow ones. Could be coincidence, or different shark fashion preferences on e...
