Bad Conditions Good Fishing

[Kyddvicous13]

I took the family out again last night finally, after two weeks of at least one of us having the flu we all needed to get out of the house. Got to the beach and it was blowing 20, the water was almost black, and the waves were 3 to 4 feet. Things really weren't looking up, and I wasn't looking forward to having to kayak baits out. After getting all the leaders, and baits rigged I paddled out and dropped a couple of 15lb rays, and casted a cut mullet on the 4/0 for the little man. By 8 the 4/0 had a run that im assuming was a tarpon, we landed one 5 - 6 foot bull, and my wife was broken off by two very big fish. We only landed one out of four fish, lost $80 in the two leaders and hooks, but it was worth it to be out on the beach together. We probably couldn't had action all night, but we ran out of bait, leaders, and being sand blasted all night def took its toll lol.




the release


the little man approved lol

Awesome picture of the kid! You should frame that and give it to him when he gets older.

I am not sure I'm man enough to hold that reel up

My wife fishes the same setup all 110lbs of her lol. Let the tools do the work for you. A harness and belt are def required. The reel does weigh almost 10lbs loaded
