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.
The air temperature was a balmy 37 degrees. I broke out my gloves as I admired the flat calm conditions of the tidal river I would be fishing.​
​
To my surprise I got off to a very slow start, catching only a few schoolies and spooking a few better looking fish.
More...
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.
However as many of you know, even the most well-thought-out plan rarely comes together perfectly, especially during the spring run.
Why can’t you say where? Why does everything have to be a big secret?
I’m new to this and am really trying to get into surf casting. Can you inform some hot spots to try..
Thank you
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!
Thank you! Actually just landed my first last year, lots of time staring at a glow stick. Far from an expert but you can PM me if you’d like.
Would like to try sharks from the shore on the cape.
Beautiful fish Alex. The fishing is only going to improve from here!
Huge Blue. Nice work Alex.
Thank you!
Thanks for the ride up pal! Appreciate you sharing your day and general information
No problem! It’s definitely heating up
Nice write-up Alex, enjoyed it. Very encouraging report!
Thank you! The fish are definitely here
How about targeting big brown sharks from the kayak?
Have you tried that yet Alex?
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.
Nice!
Nice work! The season is finally starting to get going
Thanks man! It’s definitely going
Great Fish Alex 🙂
Thank you!
