Anybody going out regularly between Malibu and Ventura? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Well, that was interesting.

I am now batting 500 on the launches and 500 on the landings.

Went out to Leo Carrio up near Tower five to just go play in the surf today around 3 PM. Spent a good half hour watching the sets to try to time my launch. Thought I was at the end of a set, and had one more wave coming in right as I threw my feet over into the kayak. That. Did not. Go well :-)

Lost a Calstar rod for my trouble and learned a little bit about Rod leashes today.

Got out and spent about an hour watching the waves. Finally got the rhythm of it and had a practically boring landing which was a nice alternative.

Probably going to run out on Sunday morning. Probably going to try to launch south of the rocks this time
