Ran into Andy the first morning and parked nearby (along with my mate Scott), and got to hear his (Andy's) drag buzzing over and over
Had an intention to catch snapper, but the first time the depth combined with the tide kept my bait from getting low enough (while a snapper made off with one of my bottom rigs), and when I came back the day after prepared with a little bit of lead they were gone. Not to worry, aligning the stars is part of fishing's appeal and KGW are tasty and put up a bit of a fight.Here's the video:

Since my hands were going to be busy with two rods and breaking up pilchards for burley, I used circle hooks (size 6) on the paternoster rig as well as the snapper line. I think it worked out, at least one of the bigger whiting was hooked while the rod was in the holder. Also I wasn't too unhappy about about the waves; even though they drenched me head down they provided an unexpected test of my new dry-pants. At the end of both days I found I was wearing perfectly warm, dry, comfortable trackies, undies and socks and it felt A M A Z I N G driving back not fidgeting on a towel. I got the Kokatat Tempest pants with a zipper fitted, and while they cost me a third of my kayak I'm thinking more about the opportunities to get out there in much crappier conditions
I would have thought that a size 8/0 circle hook and a big lump of elephant shark would have been the perfect combo for KGW's?
Excellent work.
Loved the vid
