Getting out on my newly purchased Hobie Kayak is still exciting in and of itself. Yet after doing well last week with small keeper bass, I was more excited than ever when I launched the kayak yesterday morning.

I chuckled to myself, recalling how I had told my friend that I planned to catch my share of Stripers, then pick up a few Tautog, and then head to a different spot to try for the first Bluefish of the season.

  • great write up! my daughter wants to target sharks this summer. Never gone after them on the Cape, so looking forward to a new adventure!

    • I have thought about trying it! I think it would be really difficult to get a big one boatside quick enough to not hurt it.

      I do know of someone who did it by accident live lining a bunker, so it is possible! I believe it was around 60 lbs.
