Had a good performance sunday in a creek near 206, followed by a skunk monday near 312 bridge, followed by a 13.5 hour shift on tuesday. So i figured today i should head back south and see whats biting. Armed with some live shrimp and headed into a steady 20mph wind forecast i headed back to the spot my buddy and i caught some nice reds sunday and from 8:30 to 1:30 moved from place to place with barely a bite. The wind was as predicted or worse, and it was not enjoyable for the tempurature or the paddling conditions. Then at outgoing just before low tide, just what i was waiting the previous 5 hours for i headed to the same spot that produced sunday and the bite was red hot. Immediately caught a 26" red to start it off, followed by a 17" flounder, 3 more reds in the 16-19" range, and 2 more flatties (kept one at 14"). Had to start using one pole because I kept losing fish to double hookups, no solution to that I can think of.
so 6 hours on the water and 30-45 minutes of action that was more than worth the wait. Glad i stuck it out till low tide instead of leaving to get some lunch.

Nice photos! Guess I have to get closer to the ocean up here to get me some of those Flatties too.
Half my lights are still hangin too! LOL

Nice sizeable red and flatties. Yeah, that is a tough problem to have when you got to put away one rod cause of the double hookups. Wish I had that problem more often.

On a side note, Love the decorations back above your head at your house. J/K
Way to catch em.

I know, first time I have had that problem on the yak, cant say I mind though there were plenty more around. But when you know you got a big red that you cant get an inch from, then when you try you see your hook fly by your face, its frustrating
And yes, I know we are very far behind on the decorations. Our cristmas tree is still in the front yard waiting for me to take it somewhere.

It took me till the end of January to get mine down. I feel your pain.

Nice job of catching. Darn those fish for hitting two rods at once, they have no respect at all.

Hey yakfishin904.....Very nice fishing report and GREAT PIX too!!!

You must have been tired after all that work....and then 6+ hours on the water...but it sure looks like it was worth it!!!
Congrats....JohnYaksJax

Congrats man nice catching! I fish down there sometimes maybe I will run into you one day!

For sure, I put out under the 206 bridge last month and saw 5 or 6 trucks with kayak racks and yak life stickers etc. I figure it was someone on here but I didn't see them on the water. But I only go to genungs bait shop on cubbedge road for bait and to launch near 206. Plus he gives me free coffee!

Yeah he is a good guy, I rather launch near 206 it's easier. If you see someone standing in a yellow ride that's me!

Awesome Reds and Merry Christmas................
