Thumbs up Fish Peddler 5/18 Weakie

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.
