1/31 buggin - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Here is my account of events:

Got to the launch only to see a washing maching, with a few widow maker waves coming through. Very small windows, current was dragging my kayak south, and knocked some of my nets in the water. About 5 mins, finally saw a window, and got out dry. Saw two figures paddling towards me, turned out to be Ken, and Mark.

Madscientist showed up, and everyone began to set up, big swells, got my nets down, and began fishing for WCB points... One hit, fish spit chartruese grub... went back to buggin... It was definately hairy out there...

Caught the last part of the sunset...

Later Martin showed up, and the bugs began to crawl... I ended up with four nice legals, and released about 6 shorts.

Only two eels tonight, almost landed in my yak again... :shock: Someone else had this difficulty tonight! :P Also a 6ft fin sighting, everyone pulled their toes in for the rest of the evening. I believe everyone came up with bugs, I had the hot nets tonight topping with four legals.

Landed to seemingly small surf, at the last minute, I look back as a 4ft black wall was begining to lift my stern, I leaned back, began to surf, but my 16ft boat began to pearl, I was knocked over, nets, FF, everything in the water. I got everything back, my bass rod snapped, but it was a cheapie... My game bag was ok, so I was happy!

waggin' hoops,
