COMING OUT OF THE CLOSET - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

On the darker side in 1994 I towed a 26ft power boat from the jettys in mission bay to Dana Landing fuel dock with a 15 Seda Viking, my 1 st kayak. Poor power boater could not believe a kayak could pull his baby that far but no one else was around to help him. He did not realise the incoming tide was doing most of the work.

I'll tell a story from years back but not from LJ. I was fishing back east in Sandy Hook Bay south of Manhattan and Staten Island. Not far from the Arthur Kill by the way, not water you want to be in for long unless you like glowing in the dark. A high speed ferry, catamaran hull, blew by about 3/4 -1 mile away. Didn't think anything of it, calm conditions, sun going down, little wind. Out of nowhere, several 5+ waves caught me sideways. The wake had built up as the energy hit the shoal I was fishing over. It was like a big hand picked me up and rolled me over. This was a Cobra FnD too. Lost a bunch of crap that wasn't leashed, and long story short I couldn't get back on. Sailboat came across me and assisted with reentry. It was my big lesson to A: improve my fitness and B: always practice self reentry and C: leash stuff you really like.
