Some big fish up the coast.... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

The funny part is that when I first paddled out, I considered going back to my truck and switching out to spearfishing gear and free-diving because the visibility looked really good. Glad I was too lazy and just stuck with fishing.

Yup - all the neighbors are eating well. I sent out a lot of text messages on the ride home with the cooler full.

I was blessed with luck; I guess my payback is that I STILL haven't found a halibut or a legal WSB yet this year... (though it feels like summer is just around the corner, since the water temps are still 59-62 degrees here...)

By-catch can be really fun. Great report.

Great story, looks like El Cap?

Was up in that area this week and hit goleta beach for halibut. Definitely not August conditions, water was dirty and almost un-fishable.
