LB near Queen Mary: Is the water always the color of coffee? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Is it alway a bit yucky here near the Queen Mary?
(Yeah, yeah, LA River, million of people's urban runoff etc. I suppose.)

Sunday, 4 pm - We put in at the powerboat ramp on Queensway. It started with the smell of old, dumped bait tank. Water at the ramp had the undertones of strong coffee color as it sloshed against the yak with bits of trash. The color didn't thin during the mile paddle down past the Queen Mary.

At that point, we ran into what looked like a meetup of heavy HP boats playing rap -- 'not that there's anything wrong with THAT.'

Looked like an old-style teen hot rod rally. This was not the Claremont Ramp, not Alamitos Bay, not Sunset Beach or Newport.

Took a little extra time washing the yak and yakkers when we headed for the barn.

Tryouts for Team Sewer Fish are not until further notice, but practice makes perfect.

But, er, uh, it was just soooooooo gross! OMG! (Valley Girl accent makes this work.) Urban run off, NPDES, the stuff of millions of sq miles of PEOPLE. Soylent Brown is PEOPLE. My yak has weak spots in the hull now AND a parasite that looks alot like that thing in Alien.

I hear ya with Cherry and Claremont ramps sooooo much not skanky. It ain't the same ocean.
