Within 10 minutes of anchoring up on the east side of the river I had a shaker. I didn't measure it, but the Sabalo is 28 inches wide and it was at least that wide. Unfortunately, I wasn't used to my new Playsport camera and must have inadvertently zoomed in cutting off the head and tail in the photo. Stupid thumbs.
I had a couple other bites, but unfortunately I just fed shrimp to them with no other hook-ups. There were several jumping on the west side so I moved over there, but it didn't help.
There were a few boats out looking for salmon, but other than that, it seemed like I had the river to myself.
I have an anchor trolley on both sides of my kayak, and I found the second comes in handy keeping it straight when I'm close to an eddy. At least when the tide is going out
. I deployed a drift sock on the second trolley, but not to far up. I didn't want to snag it should a fish decide to go to the port side.
I had one boat pull up close to me and the driver thanked me for having a flag up. He said he was surprised at how far away he was able to spot me by just the little blaze orange bike flag I had on back. He said he noticed most of the kayak fisherman use them, but a lot of the people out just paddling around don't have them. He said they can be hard to see, especially in the mornings and evenings.
............I'm slightly biased but I recon Sabalo is my favorite fishing platform
