Ya, should be fun, what time are you launching?

I suggest you stow/leash what you wish to not lose.

The Cardiff pipe is laden with rocks, no, boulders. Good for bugs, not halis, but you will get plenty of turd rollers.

Good luck!..and please post...

Looks like we are gonna launch around noon and concentrate on the afternoon bite. Planning on cinching up everthing and bringing some clean clothes for after. I figure even if we dont catch anything we'll still get a decent work out.

Lemme know what you guys think, should we just do Dana point instead if we plan on going out that late??

Thanks - I'll check this site tomorrow prior to leaving so I can change our fishing plans if need be.

Thanks again!

You can check the wave size by going to wavewatch.com. They have a camera that looks at cardiff.

Probably made every mistake in the book, almost sank the kayak. Didn't catch a thing. I may be hooked.

Ah, what a great perspective you have. Hopefully you didn't lose any gear...

Just think how much fun it would have been had you caught a fish, with the extra weight, bow heavy, and trying to land upright...

Hope to see you out there one day.

Cardiff eh, Tman is a legend there! One thing that you can count on is that the conditions can change quickly there.
It can go from ankle soakers to nucking futs heavy. Washing machine & radical currents are the norm.
I don't care how much experience you have...Cardiff can chew you up and spit you out whenever it wants... or take yer gear & destroy it!

Had a buddy, middle of summer, take a bit of time to get out. Didn't understand until he made it out with two broken rods sticking out of the side rod holders...funny as hell, but I did feel bad at the time. He would have had the last laugh because he outfished me, except for the fact that he rolled it coming in too. Gotta love Cardiff !!!!!!!

Yeah for sure, I love a challenge. We were laughing so hard by the end of the day we didn't really care what went on. Nothing got lost except maybe an empty beer can and I got my phone wet but I have a back up in case of such occasions.
