5-3 San O on 4#.....again - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Arrived at San O at just before 6 AM and the cars were lined up for 1/2 mile

They got everyone in really quickly. We all met down at the south end of the beach. Offshore breeze was chilly, so most waited for the warm sun to peek over the bluff. Fishin' (Fearless) Phil, charged out to go fishing. Most of the rest opted to surf those big ol waves.

We fired up the grill for hamburgers and John and Troy slow grilled some brats. Great potluck with potato salads and chips and beans. We ate like kings

I was the first back in the water after lunch and hooked up on the second cast, got a look at the fish and started yelling "Gaff!!!" to the guys 70-80 yards away on the beach. Aaron who had just launched turned around and got the needed gaff. Handed it off and I finally stick the fish after several runs and getting broadsided by several small breakers, seeing the fish cruising along the rocky weedy bottom below me. No gameclip either so Aaron opened my front hatch and in she went.

Thanks everyone! for coming out, I had a great time. Gotta do it again June 7th

We just have to get Zed to set up the fish taco bar
