Mission accomplished - sailfish from my kayak! I've been dying to get out in my kayak the the last few days but conditions have been terrible. I got into a school of blackfin about 5 days ago and since then all I can think about is them and sailfish. So today after dropping my daughter off at school I headed out in the yak. After getting stung by a bee about an hour after being out there and not seeing much activity I was starting to have doubts that this was going to be a good day. Caught a few small hardtails and pulled them around I finally found a spot that looked like it had potential just a big smooth circle of water so I dropped my sabiki down and caught 2 big beautiful lys. Got one out and continued to catch some nice cigs, put a big cig on my other line, well not more then 5 min into it my drag starts screaming & I see a streak of blue shoot through the water - to dark to be a King... sure enough it was my sail. He ate the ly. He made several runs with lots of jumps, it was surreal being in a yak and experiencing this. I wasn't really that far from shore so I called Ernie & had him meet me at the end of our street to take a quick pic. He was released, tired but swam away strong. _________________ http://www.cavittscustoms.com Last edited by Ernie & Linda on Thu Oct 08, 2009 1:59 pm; edited 1 time in total Back to top the original pier pest Billfish Joined: 30 Jul 2009 Posts: 732 Location: Montgomery Posted: Thu Oct 08, 2009 1:36 pm    Post subject: Congrats on the sailfish from the yak.

I would love it if my wife was 1/10th as interested in fishing as Linda. I couldn't imagine my wife catching a bream with a cane pole, much less going out in a kayak, catching her bait, and landing a sailfish. Does anyone else have a wife that could do this?? Kool.

I'm sure Ernie can tell you, it's really not all that it's cracked up to be, who do you think was at home watching the baby while I went fishing...lol Seriously Ernie is great about letting me go & we take turns, we just don't get to fish together much.

Please consider getting a two-seat kayak and becoming a pro guide.  I see a tv series in your future:  "Yakkin' with Linda".   I used to work with James "Big Cat" Patterson, and now he's a big catfishing guide, and Bill Dance's buddy.  If he can, so can you. Please consider attaching a PFD to yourself when yakkin'.  We don't want to lose you. _________________ -Jim Don't part with your illusions.

I got my Capt's license awhile back with that in mind, but I wouldn't need it in a yak.  Also pdfs are required by the uscg. An inflateable must be worn but a vest must just be within reach, mine is used as a backrest, so it's nearby. Believe me, after flipping my yak with a huge cuda on you better believe I'm more cautious! _________________ http://www.cavittscustoms.com Back to top pierbird Redfish Joined: 12 Jul 2009 Posts: 134 Location: Austell Posted: Fri Oct 09, 2009 5:07 pm    Post subject: Re: congrats Linda park3080 wrote: beautiful fish linda.  also while I am on here , pierbird where in austell are you?

I can"t say that my mother caught a sailfish out of a kayak when she was expecting me, but I can say she was fishing in a boat with my dad in St. Andrews Bay and trying to keep crabs that dad threw in the bottom of the boat from pinching her toes. I think that had a lot to do with my passion for fishing and Florida. Maybe there is hope for the  next generation. God Bless!! _________________ "Keep a line in the water."
