Newport, 3-10-16 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I did not better after Ed left, just short bites, tried soaking some bait while I was casting but all I got was soggy bait. First time out solo on my Malibu P2T, I thought I was being smart by putting my Ascend seat on it but it put me so high the kayak wanted to roll every time I moved. I took it off but I had forgot to bring my regular seat so I just sat on the hatch and paddled. I don't recommend lots of paddling without a seat. It wasn't terrible but I was getting pretty tired. I used my bait tank and back pack as a back rest but the seat would have been better. Off the water at 10:30, fishless again.
