Report from Baytubers.com
Took my daughter out on the kayak for the first time on Saturday. I thought she might be tentative and scared at first, but she jumped right on and had no problems moving about. She was pretty adamant about paddling at times, too. Brought a tear to daddy's eye. On to the fishing...
My buddies Frankie and Johnny joined me on their tandem (this was their second time out). Got some really nice sized anchovies from the bait dock--they hit the jetty while we started trolling around towards the back of the harbor. Mina's line got snagged and as I tried to get it loose, the rod snapped in half (it was an ultralight rig, 4# test). There was only 1 guide left but we made the most of it. Had a double hookup on a couple short halibut, I reeled in mine first and then reeled she reel in hers. Her very first halibut (brought a tear to daddy's other eye!)
We also ended up with a sandie (prolly around 16") and another hali (this time legal, around 24-26"). I think the other guys made out with a few calicos. Off the water by 11am.
