Rockfish Opener 2015.... Anyone claiming first.. - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

momo fish · 03-01-2015, 07:45 PM

Well after all the storms and wind doom and gloom last week things calmed down and made the trip out local.. Got on the water by 7 to an easy launch. Wind was picking up but nothing more than 6-8 with predictions up to 12 by noon..

Made it to the spot just in time for whitecaps and winds to pick up only to turn around to seek shelter closer to shore. Bait was nada.. Current was ripping so ended up calling it a day around 1 after nothing was showing up interested in playing. But it did NOT rain while on the water.. Weird once I got home a hail storm broke which I have not been in since moving to CA..

Was hoping to post some rockfish pictures today but that was not to be. Instead pictures of the day and hail storm..

Anyone get any today?

Be careful momo with the pictures of your house...there is a price on your head....

Sounds like you made the right call on turning around today...

launched at Redondo about 7, right on the edge of a bit of rain, winds were light offshore. Don't have any spots there just metered around the canyon edges in 140-220 feet We just yoyoed megabats for a few big mackerel, sand dabs, sand bass, lizard fish and 2 rockfish, off the water at 10 and off to work.

Good going Andy, did better than most up here. Guys fishing different areas all reported same thing today so it was just one of those days.

Don't worry I already have my fort build in case I am attacked!!

It's solid build and secured with this special lock I made myself that's fool proof..

My weapon of choice

And worst case have this backup loaded with rocks..

Need Frank's help to upgrade down the road however. 😊

That lock/strapping set-up is SWEET. Looks like a "solid build" for sure. Would you consider making a few for me, can't find this anywhere...Jim
