Mission Accomplished - sailfish from the kayak!

Linda · 10-08-2009, 02:17 PM

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 my 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 scraming & 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.
