Cool Breeze and a close interval swell @ L J - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Who launches into 46 degree, 12kt offshores and thumpy windswell at 0300AM?

I would have called the coastguard as soon as those numbskulls launched!!!

Really though, those freezing offshores that just started are no joke, last week pre-dawn temps where in the mid-50s.....by friday predawn temps will be in the lower 40's....way too cold for me!

Be careful out there guys!!!

We're still alive... somehow. It was gnarly out there with the swell, wind, current and tide all somehow working against each other. 3 foot windswell from the west and 1 foot whitecaps from the east. At full speed, we made one kt on the way in. Not for the feint of heart.

Fishing was strange as well. LOADS of squid in the usual shallow zone and hardly a mackeral to be seen. Fishing the dropperloop in 10-15 kt offshores is a difficult ordeal. However it looked very fishy, somebody is going to hook up soon if they don't die of hypothermia. Get out there!!....??
