Night time - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Well a couple buddies and I set our peddles to 5 and started heading out to some structure beyond a jetty around 2000 or so Saturday night. Wind was calm, water looked and felt super calm. Got to our first POS and dropped, my buddy pulled his head up for barely a minute and BOOM pushed 400 feet off the structure. It was a constant fight to stay anywhere near our points. We tried several spots around known good structure but nothing seemed to hit except on some random drifts somehow. We were dropping whole squids, just heads, or slices. Slices seemed to get the hits but not many hook ups on droppers and c-rigs fishing 45' to 75'. Either way it was a good time to get out for more than an hour or two. Even tossed a few big hammers with some 1 oz heads tipped with some squid and got some nudges but yup..... No luck. I think it's a curse from the wives. Either way ended the night with 6ish miles on and 6 hours out, a buddy who was the only lucky one with 2 scorpions and a sand dab. Nothing huge. And a buddy lost at sea.....or it seems. Only reason we know he's still good and alive was he left before us and his truck was gone when the other guy and me got back to the launch. I'm pretty sure he is grounded...for a while. No worries we are all grown men with kids and yeah Marines.... But somehow we find ourselves "grounded" more often than 15 year olds drinking and driving starring on 16 and pregnant rolling in Molly swinging on a wrecking ball and escorting Mayweather in and out of a ring...
