Hit Sakonet early today, no sign of funny fish, although a fellow kayaker claims a few bones were caught. Did luck into a pod of keeper sea bass feeding heavy a hundred yards west of the lighthouse, nailed three 19” keepers on my 4” split tail on a 1/2 oz. jig worked fairly aggressively just off the bottom. Once I limited out quickly, i put the trolling motor on mid speed and locked in the headed and sat back to relax. In my old Hobie PA14 i would have needed to peddle hard against that 2 foot chop to work back to the harbor, I am loving the new Old Town kayak with autoplilot.
