First Time BTB!!

[Bourn Fisher83]

Hey Everyone. I'm new to the site and new to btb kayak fishing.I've been fishing Texas bays and rivers since I was a kid but just got into kayak fishing about 2 years ago. I went out btb for the first time this last memorial weekend and had a blast. I caught a few spanish and a jack that pulled me around for a bit. I've got a lot to learn about offshore species and how to maximize my time out there. Thank you to everyone here for posting info to help us new guys and especially for videos like Professor Salt's. I know how much work that is. Hope to see you guys out there.

Awesome! Well done for your first trip! Did you go alone? Thanks for sharing!

Yep, went alone. I went up to Galveston to visit some friends. Was supposed to meet up with some friends of friends that morning but they bailed. I couldn’t resist going anyway. Conditions were great. Paddled out maybe two miles but everything I caught was within 300 to 400 yards or so past the breakers. Caught the jack on 12 lb line with wire leader surprisingly. Like i said...new to offshore and need a few upgrades from bay fishing

what bait were you using to catch those fish?

Caught everything trolling an assortment of artificials

Good job, and that's a big jack.
