7.5ft swell for Sunday - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

old_rookie · 11-27-2010, 11:27 AM

Checking magic seaweed - 7.5ft swell for LJ Shores.
Plan A: go to LJ Shores and see for myself what 7.5ft swell looks like and see if I am willing to test my abilities in cold conditions.
Plan B: scrap plan A and go to MB for an easy launch.

7 foot at 7 second from the NW is going to be FUGGLY! I would only go to watch others get eaten!

they are saying 7 foot but the model does not look that big.

Go with plan b.

Even that will be a stretch with the wind we'll have. Yes, a kayak is a small craft.

I would go with your plan B and fish the bay.
As I understand it anything under 65 feet is considered a small craft and should abide by small craft advisories... need I say more? haha Heck, I was on my Uncle's 35' Bertram today, and we opted to not go offshore due to the wind we've been having on the Gulf!
Good luck with where ever you opt to fish!

Decided to go with plan C: surf fish Mission Beach. Turned out to be not so good of a plan. Wind was blowing, surf was big.
