Skunked, yet stoked! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Amish Ed · 05-05-2016, 12:07 PM

LANDWHALE and I launched about 6:30 to cloudy skies with a bit of sun peaking through. Wind was nil and water was clear and 63º. Good current.

I tossed lots of colors, and got lots of short bites early on, but as the morning progressed the bites diminished and the wind kicked up. With the wind came the cold. I launched thinking about holding off on the jacket and came in shaking from the cold as my windbreaker just wasn't enough. Off the water about 10:00.

Steve managed to scratch out 4, but I got the big ole stripe down my back. But, so worth it. Steve is back!

That was me. Glad you guys found some fish. How was the weather outside? It was blowing pretty good when we came in, but seemed to back off some by the time we left. We wondered how it was for you outside.

Hi Ed, I apologize for not introducing myself. I'm glad we found the right spots too, Jaime was our navigator, so I gotta thank him. Weather started getting real snotty around 11-1130, so that's when we headed in. It was pretty nice inside the harbor though! Too bad I was outta live macs by then though.

Btw- your van reminds me of the solicitor vans when I was a water guy at Yosemite. Same colors. Did you get it from them when they sold the company off in 2010?

Actually, the van is Landwhale's. I was in the Subaru. You were the one running to and from the water right?
