Tuesday report 3/12 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Headed out before sunrise hoping for good luck and a beautiful day of sunshine. Nope!

Started very foggy. Seriously, even with a GPS / compass, very hard to tell where I was. Met two other guys and eventually we found the yellow buoy. My pedal broke in the first ten feet, so all paddle for me.

Anyway, lots of fog, and then a very wicked current. Before we knew it, my friend and I were WAY past where we intended to go. It took a lot of work to paddle back.

Also, tons of fin bait. Mackerel everywhere. And little fish jumping all around. A few calicos were caught, but we didn't see any YT or WSB.

So, not sunny, until afternoon, pretty cool wind, I got pretty cold, a strong current and no fish. I posted this so everyone stuck at work would not regret not getting out on the water today!

But always nice to get out there... plenty of dolphins and very tiny waves. Would have been smarter to just sit on the beach and watch pretty girls.

Cheers all!

We're still cooking frozen YT and Rockfish tonight.
