What's so hard?

I don't know how people can struggle launching at county line when it's one of the easiest launches on the coast even when it's over 4 feet. Isn't patience, timing and confidence in your abilities pretty much the virtues of any and every surf launch?

Its way easier to launch than la jolla, and less sharks. People should head up to county line and forget about dirty old LJ, its all infested w sea lions and stuff. Plus there's seabass up there by malibu... and movie stars.

I find it easy but not some people I see them struggling and breaking their stuff! I always enjoy watching people flip! There's no fish either all the hammerheads take them and bump your kayak it's pretty fun.

If i trolled like that, I'd use a wire leader.

I was there today at 5:15. Watched Leo for 45 mins. Watched county for 15. Saw 4 guys get destroyed. I saw 1 yak out in the kelp at 6:30 when I left. I guess yakers are a bunch of Nancys these days. The periods were long today, it could have been done, but not my gamble. Born and raised on the water. I was not willing to gamble it. With all the investment in a nice boat and gear...no thanks. No ego I need to prop up. Where did you fish today Unofishgood? "Eddy Would Go"

those people you enjoy watching
may be getting hurt
and or loosing gear

school of hard knocks and all that

not sure I would say enjoy myself
perhaps fascinated and cant look away
but prob not enjoyable

remind me not to fish with you

thanks in advance...

Yea I help them out if they yard sale but if it's like a really bad day I get worried but sometimes it's like 2-3 feet and super easy to time but some guys manage to go on sets and flip then end up not fishing

I don't get why people launch with their gear up at county. I've seen so many people break their gear and lose stuff in the passed two weeks it's insane.

I agree. Full tackle boxes tossed in the shore break. Broken rods. Its pretty bad. Having a surfing, fishing and diving background when I got the yak the first thing I did was have a launch system and fishing system. Its a trip how disconnected people are...but they don't know any better. Today was a perfect example. It was cranking! The guy that wanted to tag a long with me was ready to rock. I pulled the plug...to find out later it was his first day on a yak. It would not have been good.

Yea lots of guys think it's easy their first time my first time I got destroyed at county not gonna lie but I haven't flipped there in a long time. Every time I see a kayak flip I get worried that I might get hooked while surfing county. It's not hard when you have your stuff inside and that your not worried about flipping.
