Thread: My Tuna Trip in the Atlantic

I went out and did some Tuna jigging last Friday. We launched our kayaks off Dania beach near Ft. Lauderdale and paddled out a couple miles.

Since it was a kayak trip, I posted my story over at the Pensacola fishing forum in the kayak section. As to not double post, here is the link http://www.pensacolafishingforum.com...slowly-110878/

Here is the pic of one of my Tuna

If you want to know why I look like I am about to pass out, read the story.

Some story.

You're obviously an adventerous and experienced kayaker but the lesson from this could be that some conditions and locations cannot be fished safely from a kayak. By safe I include "puts human body beyond its damage threshold" as well as life safety. Just speculating. . .

Nice fish from a yak BTW.

One thing I forgot to mention was I cannot wait to go back and do it again! Maybe next weekend

To boldly go where no man should go, and then go back again!

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

But you see... I have a plan. We drop the kayaks off, but park 5 miles up current.

ooh I just might have to take you up on your offer Bubba...the kayak is decked out and just waiting on warmer weather as of right now. Kinda wish I had a Hobie though...paddlin for that long, I know for a fact the ole arms and back are gonna get tired. I've got a GoPro, this should be fun!

This was back when you first mentioned this tourney...not to rub it in but I remember writing this. Sounded like an adventure, nice little tuna!
