Learn to Catch Salmon from a Kayak

I Arrived at Bolinas at day break and ran into a few NCKA brothers. It is that time of the year when I make my annual pilgrimage to this sacred land of large fish and legendary stories. The shore breaks were small and welcoming, compared to pass adventures. The dangers of the surf launch (Lagoon and Brighton ave) are well documented so I’ll leave it there.

The brownish-red water color, 58 degree temp and full moon were all bad signs, however, the stacks of bait through out the entire area was a great sign! I loaded the yak and made my way out.

The boats arrived early, as usual, and the morning feeding frenzy started. The birds worked the massive bait balls and the early morning salmon marauders all took their places among the fleet. I grabbed my sabiki and pulled some tray size live bait. (My preferred salmon fishing method). I sent a live one down below the bait ball and waited for the action.

About 20 minutes into my drift, i see the familiar tap tap tap from the tip of my fishing rod. Oh…something is on. I gently pulled the rod from the rod holder and fed the fish some line…then I fed it some more.
The tip indicated the fish was still working the bait…I waited. Then my rod BENDS OVER!

BENDO! FishON! I felt the weight of the fish bend my rod straight into the water as it peels off 25-40 ft of line off my spool. From the back of my kayak I see the fish make a leap and thrash the surface of the water before making a b-line towards me. I quickly gain back line and peddle fast to keep the tension on the hook. It made multiple circles to tire it out and it made multiple blistering runs to get off the hook.

The thoughts of multiple lost fish through out the season drifted in and out of my mind. I was wondering if I was self destructive when it comes to salmon fishing. LOL, but I keep my cool and cleared my thoughts. —This one is going in the boat, or I’ll never hear the end of it from “my friends” gesh.

I get it under my boat and it floats upside down. It makes one more last hearted burst then goes straight in the net. Wooh! My first kayak salmon of the year, and it was great to get the monkey off my back.

I’ve been a little absent lately due to other important priorities but promised a friend I would post something. Quoting our own local Bolinas Salmon Guru – AlexB “Now is the time!!” Go get’em . – TLA
