Im sure weather changes day after day but water temps never stayed over 60 where last weekend friend told me bite was on as temp hit 63. Made bait as I fought the wind all the way to the point. No luck and Im tired of getting skunked! Threw swimbaits all morning of different colors and nada. a couple kayaks looked like they headed to pipe and 2 more stayed 1 mile due West. Hope they had better luck. On a side note, I've paddled hard before fighting winds, but I've never been this sore after a trip and Im in the gym 6 days a week. Has me seriously thinking of getting into a peddle yak!

After fighting recurring "tennis elbow" for years, between paddling and casting, my elbow was dead after a day of fishing. When I fish DP I usually put in at baby beach and on a windy day, that paddle back was a nightmare... Finally caved a few weeks ago and splurged on a Hobie. Best decision ever! Wind = no problem!

I just hope you don't get gypped! Peddled kayaks aren't worth the money.

Same experience here. Wind, chop, dirty water, GWS's and no fish.

Did hear of a kayaker getting a 60 lb WSB out at the flagpoles though, on a pink rapala.
