DP 5-30 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Interesting day.... Late start because alarm clocks are hard. Got bait and went solo out to the drop-off about 2.5 miles out. No luck on the bottom, but saw tons of bird and surface activity about another half mile+ out. Tossed out the large spoon a few times into the mix and ended up landing a solid barracuda. Didn't keep it, but it was a fun fight! And very interesting having all those teeth flopping around the kayak.... Conditions were great up until about noon when the wind picked up like crazy and conditions went from bad to worse. White caps breaking over the side, a solid S swell on the water and powerful gusts. Decided it was best to call it and head in... Hope tomorrow the wind stays off it a bit longer!
