Malibu Mini-X kayak
Echo 8-weight flyrod
Rio DC24 300gr sinking tip line
9 foot leader (last 3 feet are maxima 8-pound tippet)
Clouser fly - # 6 hook, natural lead eyes, yellow thread, light olive over purple over white (my own fly, intended to look like a baby lizard-fish)
Personal best sandbass pictured below. Grabbed the fly near the boat so had to fight him by hand-stripping, took me down and snagged me on the bottom but I managed to free him, good thing I remembered the net today. Epic battle.
Rest of the 3-hour session produced only a 10-inch YFC and a bunch of lizardfish, one of the lizzies was huge however. Watched a bait-caster in a tan colored kayak land (and release by flop-out) a 27" halibut on a plastic.
Cloudy day, water is still mostly cold but staring to warm a bit.
