While spending the better part of the last year concentrating on "The bigger the better", I totally forgot how much fun it is to fish with super light tackle in the lagoon here in Carlsbad.
I went out Monday hoping to get a few KayakWar points with some Bass and to work on my technique.
First off, I didn't score any points because everything I caught was short due to the new regulations but it was still a blast with plenty of fish to be caught.
Final numbers:
4 Halibut - 13", 17", 18" 20"
4 Sand Sharks - 21", 27", 27", 31" (I think that I caught the same one twice)
1 Bat Ray - small, about 5 pounds
11 Bass - 11.75", 12", 12", 12.5", 13", 13.25" 13.5", and the rest smaller.

I love fishing the ocean but there is something nice about no surf and an easy paddle once in a while. Not to mention not having to drive up the 5 during rush hour after 10 hours on the water.
No trophy pictures or sleigh rides caught on the GoPro but a good time none the less.
