So I went and got me a yak

[jkvshooter]

I moved over to the north shore of Oahu about 4 months ago and have learned that spearfishing here is much different than most of the places I have been. I decided I needed to get out to deeper water 60-80 feet which can be a mile offshore. I bought a used scramber xt (what a pig). It is very stable, but a pain in current or wind. The first trip out I saw a couple of mahi (dolphin), an ono (wahoo), and 3 nice kahalas (amberjack). I stoned a 15# kahala and was stoked to have the kayak 'cause a shark cruised by and it gave me a place to retreat. Having a kayak opens up all sorts of oppertunities and I'm excited to learn how to rig it and be more efficient. I still feel a little akward in it. Any tips would help guys!

I was using a slip tip and had to fillet half the fish to get it out. I guess i've had worse problems!

Stay well,

congrats on the purchase, you have just been liberated :)

like hialeah said, there is a lot of info on the board in the yak section, but we are all pretty knowledgable if there is something you cant figure out

Sharks favorite color is yellow. Good thing kayaks don't look like seals. Oh crap I have a yellow kayak.
