lofty Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Arrived at Hillhead and got set up I launched this morning into the Solent at 9.30 armed with squid maccy and hardbacks, onto a flat calm sea. It was very overcast but very warm and I was wearing my super warm Gucci underwear beneath my drysuit. Mistake. I met up with Chris in his sea kayak and had a swap around with paddles ( I borrowed Bartos cranked Shuna) to trial. We put the world straight and he left me to it. The crab baits went down into the ripple less sea Had a couple of starrys . The first one was a lunker that was very lightly hooked. I got it to the side of the yak and it come of right by my hand. The second one was about 9 lbs I reckon. It went quiet so I moved and tried for a Raymond. Down went a maccy fillet and after a short time I had a bounce on the conoflex.I thought It was a doggy so I wound down and ....zzzzzzzz..... Fish on A good scrap and then it jumped in front of me. At first I thought it was a good bass but as it came to the yak it was a Tope, around 7 lb. They put up a scrap on board too Look at my ff The waves started to build and I looked behind to sea a localised storm coming. Selfie with storm Well it blew a bloody hoolie, white horses all round, and I sat it out. I've had enough There was a bit of clear sky over Fawley and as the sea calmed down a bit I pulled out and headed in As I loaded the yak I saw a lone kayaker on the mark, Dick maybe? It was a good session but I could have done without the squal. Selfie on the beach There's not much to see on this video of the big smoothy , but its quite funny how I bring my legs in when I see the size of her Kingfisher 126 and charlieannear 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
