Heading out tomorrow (Oceanside)

A gps is a serious tool to have. It's the only way you will find the scattered rock piles that comprise the artificial reefs. Even during lobster season they will be hard to find unless you get lucky and get close enough to see the lobster trap bouys. Just something to think about.

i was out there today. think i might have seen you. i was in a blue X factor and my buddy in a white hobie. ran into three guys, two in X's and the other in a hobie i think. im sure it had peddles.

anyways. only got one calico from the rock pile in the harbor. it was a legal though so that counts for something.

i think i saw your blue X factor today. Assuming you had it tight-up at the end of the guest slip around 2:30pm. It's hard to miss a kayak with all that fishing gears on board.

By the way, does most night kayaker use some sort anchor light, or running light at night? When I came back into the harbor around 9:00pm, a pair of kayakers caught me off guard. i think they may had either head lamp, or hand held flash light only.

which guest slip? i launched from the condo area of del mar and went in at 2pm.

and yes, most kayakers who dont want to get run over in the mouth of a harbor usually have some sort of running light. its not required though. only a sort of signaling light is required.
