EMBARASSING...small fish...plus...surf WIPEOUT caught on VIDEO!

[iethinker]

This is a kayak fishing report and also happens to be my fist time on the water with a video camera.

Executive Summary:
1. Solana Beach & Del Mar on 8/13
2. Couldn't make sufficient bait and livewell died so stuck to lures
3. Caught 4x smaller Calico Bass and one Bonito
4. Opportunity to fool around with my new waterproof camera
5. Decided to play in the surf some and wipeout occurs
6. Camera detaches from mount and is lost at sea for some time

Small fish still make me happy:

Haven't tried a del Mar launch yet, you are inspiring me to give it a try!

So thats what my recent garage sale looked like. Lost a hat and one pole, that's what I get for not leashing

Thanks for the report, looks fun!

They do make floaty key-chain like things to attach to the cameras so that they will float if dropped in the water. May want to look at one of those. Just an idea..
