Awesome pics Nightstrikes! Sounds like a great night. I went down last night just before dark and got skunked. I was stubborn and wanted to catch them on poppers but it was a bit too windy. I still had a great time. Hopefully I will be getting down this weekend since Jettyjock and my friend Ed have new kayaks to break in! Tom.

Have Fun Guys,,,,

We launched our Kayak into the darkest of Barnegat Bay over the weekend.
Once you found the bait you found plenty of action with weakfish and bluefish..Tides were running hard and dirty with alot of the eelgrass that came in from the ocean last week.So the key was to anchor up and fish around the patches of grass as it swept by us..
The strikes were many on lead jigs and assorted color rubber, sometimes right beside the yak..

Hit Cape May County back bays last night from 8:00p to 10:30p. Found bass popping while still light around first bend. 2nd cast and 28 incher to the yak. (small popper). Looked like a promising night. Continued to my planned location and the further back I got the more snot grass I encountered. Pods of grass 10 feet wide were floating with the tide. Found more fish popping during the night but could not keep the grass off the lures. Before I left checked to see what they were chasing and found hundreds of 3 inch glass type minows up against the banks.
New Kayak worked great

Just thought I would share a helpful program I found on the internet. It allows you to look for different fishing spots using sattelite photos. Beware that the photos are about 3 years old but still show you a good look of what is out there. It also allows you to measure distance so you can plan a kayak trip to see if that place you want to fish is close enough for a night time excursion. The program is called google earth and can be downloaded for free. Just do a google search for google earth. Here is an example of a plotted trip in Townsends Inlet area. As you plot your lines it gives you a total mileage as you continue to add distance. I have located a few new spots to try using this program. Thought others maybe able to use it also.

Wow, It looks like mine . A Tarpon 120 right. Have only "freshwatered" mine so far. How does it surf? Most of the reviews said good things. I found mine 1/2 price at a local store. Guy said it didn't sell. I jumped at it.

I want to put a rudder/fishfinder on mine before fall. Yak on!
There's more than that. There is a T100 for quite water or kids, I am breaking my son in on some freshwater, and just bought him a "ripper", (T80).
