that sucks
it was rather brutal there today
specially in the morning
tough launch

when i landed around 1:30
is was really crowded
tons of rentals in the zone
tons of swimmers too

having a swim mask and fins
is always a good idea
i bring mine now always

sorry bout ure lost gear

Hope you get it back. Dudes were getting crushed yesterday. I saw one guy swim his yak out. I guess if you're already soaked thats a viable option.

I had a post about 2 months ago telling about the "Ultimate" yard sale.Apparently you now have the title.I lost $1500 in rods-reels and tackle on deck.All I could save was thw WSB in my lap.I didnt get any of my gear back,but I wish you the best.I have a skiff too(9ft. boston whaler with 4 horse merc) but I only take it out when the surf is doable.It was a great day when i discovered I could land it panga style.

Thanks... just gotta keep calling in the lifeguard tower. I'm sure they'll be annoyed after a week or so.

Yea, its interesting to see the surf pounding at the shores. I've seen it bad sometimes, but not so consistently. I had moments wishing I was on my surfboard and not my skiff.

Anyway, please help keep an eye out. The kayak community is one of the tightest and supportive groups I've met. Very friendly too... which is why I believe yak fishing has grown so much...

Have a happy and safe 4th everyone!

Sorry for all your losses. Not much but I found a gaff yesterday. Pm me if it's yours.
Thanks

Thanks for looking out. Unfortuneately it's not my gaff. Mine got bent in half while in the rod holder.

I guess this is a start. Hope more stuff comes up.
