We hit the water at Navarre Pier about 0630. Headed out caught a few bait fish, and started trolling. Right off the bat I got a good hit, and nothing. Then after putting some frsh bait on and a few more minutes of trolling and ziiiiiiiing, FISH ON! Now I know thats a little much of a "Fish On" but, this is my first King from a yak, so I am pretty pumped. I get him in the yak and my buddie Jeremie comes over and takes a couple pics, soon to be posted. So I put on anothe rbait and we notice that the flippers have showed for the party. I attempt to bring in my bait when....ZIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING! damn, to little to late, and in a heartbeats time, slack in the line, I real in to find one of my hooks is missing, damn that sucks, sorry flipper. Met a fellow yakker out there by the name of Donnie also a PFF'er. He says TARPON, I didnt make it back in time to see, but I guess they werent interested. I start heading out further to get away from flippers, put my bait out and then say...hmmm tiime to go home...on my way back in my real starts singing and I see an airborne king, I fight him for about 3-4 minutes hes next to the yak and SPIT! He was a biggun to. Oh well lets land the yak and get home for a much needed nap before the evenings activities. A great first king trip in my opinion. And Donnie, thanks for the lighter, sorry I forgot to paddle back over and give it back, I forgot I had it from my mind in a daze from that last king.

Nice report. It definitely gets the heart pumping when your reel starts screaming. Somebody needs to market an alarm clock that makes that sound.

Damn. Tarpon out there two days in a row. Who is going to be the first to land one?

Sgt SeaSick · 07-05-2009, 03:56 PM

Well I am asking for leave on friday so I can get out and try it again. I would love to get a tarpon, that would make.... hell I cant even think of a comparison.

what a great first report in the new yak! I was hoping you'd catch one right of the bat. I think we're all ready for a poon, some hookups but none yakside for a pic yet. Ernie & I are gonna head out in the morning and do a drift.
