Yesterday at the BHP rigs visibility was around 50 feet, but with heavy boat traffic it was difficult to get the fish to bite. I hooked into 10 kings and managed to get five of them to the kayak. I didn't mind, it was a perfect day for paddling and I got in 17 miles before hitting the sand at 3:30. At one point I dropped a lure for live bait with my little spinner when I hooked what I believed to be a solid cobia. After a long fight that featured no long/fast runs but consistent thumping that felt just like a cobia, I finally caught sight of a nice shiny fish. Why you no run, silver bullet? I landed and kept the king because he got the hook in his gills and was bleeding heavily. I got some video of the fish with the little Sienna 2500 together. That was fun.
You know what else was cool? The views under the surface. Next trip I'm packing a mask and fins just so I can take a better look. Here are a couple of screenshots from the video so you can see for yourselves:
