La Jolla Report - March 19 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Thanks for the story mark, we’ve all been there. I remember flipping my revo 13 when i was first getting into kayak fishing. Such a newb mistake didn’t have anything leashed and lost 3 or 4 really nice setups. It happened so fast and the water was pretty cold I didn’t even think. I had my yak flipped back over and just climbed right back on in a matter of seconds. I think I just reached across to the other side and just threw a leg over and pulled myself in. Ive since learned to straddle my legs over the yak in really rough conditions when just drifting around. Ive never flipped in surf and that was the only time I’ve ever gone over in a yak. I’m sure my time is coming for a surf flip. Cant wait....Was your seat in the high position?

*Pro tip for those trying to get back in the yak* Just think about all the GWS around.
