Hey scallywag, I'm a newbie kayak fisherman and I'm wondering where exactly do you typically launch at Tourmo? PM me if you don't want to post it here. Just curious since I had a mishap a week and a half ago without shoes on the rocks there. the moral of the story for me was 'bring footwear'. This was only my 2nd time out in the yak. I launched fine, had a great time fishing, got bit on the bottom in the sand that I'm guessing was a halibut but I tried to set the hook too early out of excitement once the clicker started going off, and then headed in. When I hopped out at shore, I sliced the bottom of my foot clear down to the tendon. It didn't look good, kind of like the top of a brain
. Luckily, 3 surfers helped me carry the kayak up the stairs and strap it to the car.
A quick trip to the emergency room and the end result was the below photo. I get the stitches pulled Friday and hopefully I'm allowed back in the water soon!
