5/30 La Jolla - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Cuda were scary big yesterday. Fun none the less.

Launched alone for the PM shift with pumping surf and stupid tourists at high tide, after surviving that mess, the rest was a breeze! Bait was plentiful, but very few greenies, lots of spanish. So pinned on many candy bar macs and proceeded to feed the Cudas between nasty wind and waves. I lost a number of set ups to sharks as well. Finally as I was about to cut my losses I saw what might have been a swirl... (it was hard to tell with the nasty wind). So out went the Iron and a short battle later, this guy came to offer me Hamachi for dinner!

Saw other YT, but I could not get through all the Ginormous Cudas, and sharks to get a bait to them. O'well... came in to Pumping surf and managed to land upright, although another guy lost it way out by the western most white bouy.

Congrats Chuck! Super stoked for you!

Now your curse can't follow us on the mothership trip.

Nice yob Chuck. All that talk about you being good luck Chuck for everyone else is over! Nice fish, way to stick it out throught the wind and swell, you were rewarded nicely.

I hope he is still "Good Luck Chuck", I always catch fish after talking to him on the water. Kind of like when I see dolphins while surfing, I always catch the next set wave.

Congrats Chuck! I'm stoked for you! As much as I hate to say it, it's about time. The story sounded all too familiar with the wind and swell with the ever present wrong kind till vwalla, I saw the picture. You deserved it, I would prepare myself (new top-shot, double check your knots and hooks, no simple mistakes that end in heartbreak) for the upward spiral, it can be just as wicked as the ride down.

Way to get the skunk off, Chuck!
