Homer Spit - 4/15

Spent Sunday in the Homer spit, launched at sunrise and fished for about eight hours. There were 5-6 other yaks on the water (including a tandem), my wife took exit polls and wasn't able to find anyone who caught anything of value.

I managed to pull in:
* 13 Sculpin
* 2 Lingcod (out of season, released with boga grips without taking out of the water)
* One ten pound halibut

For some reason everyone else on the water wanted to be two miles from shore. If any of the guys who were out there with me read this: you were way too far out. I told the guys on the tandem kayak but they still felt the need to go out past the buoy.

Everything was caught with a squid on 300 lb mono, switching off between 10/0 octopus and 12/0 big river bait hooks and chunks of herring/squid. The halibut took the herring head.

This trip officially marks my first halibut from the kayak! I'm happy to have some blood and slime all over the new hobie and kokatat!
