Yes, it's all priceless, but that's what makes this group so fun!

The fish did get a little beat up because I took a piece of nylon cord and a cabiner and tied him to the side. He kept whacking my rudder (things that sound dirty, but aren't) on the way back in.

I guess I do have a wide array of fishing couture. But form follows function... I'm trying to scare the fish into the boat!

I'm out of commission on early a.m. boats for another month due to some personal issues. That's why I got the kayak. I'll be fluking on the Angler in another month. In the meantime, please save some for me!

JD:

I am away this weekend but, lets get together for a beach launch in Lavallette for stripers and fluke.

Have a good weekend.

[QUOTE=JonDevin]I have chosen a new name for my kayak.... The Fish Peddler... since it's one of the Hobie Mirage peddle drive models.

Anyhow, hit the hook around noon. I parked in the 2nd lot and launched in the bay, just outside the mouth of the Navesink. I trolled around for a couple of hours catching about 1/2 a dozen bluefish to 7 lbs, then I decided to try the Highlands side of the bay there so I started peddling over there and wham! My first weakfish. I've seen weakfish before, but never this size. I saw one that was 12# once but this one looked bigger. I took it to Atlantic Highlands Bait & Tackle and they weighed it in at 15# 11oz. It was about 35". Not bad for a first weakie on only my third trip on a kayak :)

I caught it on a Kayak Carl's trolling tube, tipped with a piece of Gulp! Sandworm.[/QUOTE

NICE!!!!. Quite the fish indeed. Where do you go from there? My very first weakie was a 12 lb tide runner in the Elberone Surff. Trout colored Bomber lined with black electrical tape. Caught a 6lb

Jon,

It appears that you are going to have to show me the ropes instead of it being the other way around. WHAT A FISH!!! Congrats and lets chase some fluke when I get back from memorial day weekend.
