I had been unable to catch any fresh bait, so took some old frozen jacks and ladyfish out of the freezer. No telling how long that stuff had been in there, but hey! Frozen bait is way better than no bait! Besides, I had high hopes of snagging something fresh while out fishing.
I can only fit one little kid at a time on the kayak and besides, we only had one kids life preserver so they would have to take turns fishing. Bentley decided he really didn't want to go shark fishing anyhow, so Lexi and Laney huddled up together then informed me Lexi would go first, then Laney.
I paddled Lexi out on calm water.
We rigged with some cut jack.
After about twenty minutes with no action, Lexi got bored and wanted to go back to the beach. So next it was Laney's turn.
Laney and I fished about an hour before she tired of the lack of action. After paddling her back to the beach, I rigged up my triple rod holder and went trolling offshore.
I paddled a good two miles or so offshore hoping for a school of spanish mackerel or maybe a stray tarpon, but got nothing. I returned to the beach still dragging a small yo-zuri. In three feet of water not a hundred feet off the beach, I had a little lizardfish hit while reeling in my line.
At least we weren't officially skunked!
Life is good!
