Friday Am Update PP - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

kurtfish · 05-21-2010, 09:53 AM

Surf is now up to 3-4' with some bigger sets and seems to be building. Interval is very tight so my Pro Angler would have quite a bit of trouble plowing thru the surf today. Wind is currently blowing off-shore at 5-10 knots and is projected to build to 15-20 in the pm. Unless you are very good in the surf and have a kayak that goes over the waves instead of thru them you may want to pull out your surfboard or swimfins as I plan to at Boomer this pm.

strapped to the stern offsets the pearling effect

Launched at about 7 this morning. Surf was up. Had to time it and still you weren't making it out without busting through at least one or two. Fished until 6 and didn't see much life...until I was loading my car and was watching birds nailing bait just outside the reserve. Story of my last week...a day late, an hour early. If this pattern keeps up, I start showing up at 3 and leaving with the sun. Radio chatter sounded like everyone had a slow day but curious to see if anyone did well post my departure.

Weather was nice. Had to time the return right. Met Leo and had a good chat. Waves are supposed to stay strong through tomorrow and wind is supposed to build. Thus, I'll be playing paintball tomorrow.
