Got to baby beach around noon today for my maiden voyage. Really overcast but very light wind so that was a plus! I paddled down to the barge and around the harbor for a bit getting used to my new kayak then I went out of the harbor on the barge side and went to the kelp. Fish finder was going wild with beeps but I couldnt catch a thing! I spent about 5 hours out there around the kelp right by the breakwall and going back in the harbor then back out. I was using plastics but nothing would hit. Finally I went and got some frozen chovies (I dont have a battery for my bucket yet) from the little general store by the barge but still nothing! I guess I need live bait. I tried untangling my sabiki but I got over that in about 3 mins lol.
Anyway it was nice getting out and using my kayak that Ive had for like a month. Never had a way to transport it easily to the beach but I just got a job at a welding shop off lake forest and we made a little rack for my truck so I could take it out. Its a prototype and I still have another addition I need to make to it but it worked great. I can keep my tailgate closed so my rods etc wont go flying out. I had to put a chair under the front but I will be adding another piece to the bed soon so it wont be so ghetto fabulous!
