Lj report 01/12/13 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

jbasin0 · 01-13-2013, 03:44 PM

First post. Couple of noobs. 730a Beach launch (between windansea & marine street... Not for the faint of heart) on cobra tandem hitting up kelp outside windansea. Two of us on the yak steady of flow beer not so steady flow on the yellow tail. Trying out new lawrance mark 4 covered lots of ground got a number of calico and decent sand bass. Using plastics and irons. Water was cold and green, lots of current with the swell and tidal swing.

Metered some bait and saw some big boys on ff. got one to bite but couldn't get to stick.

Great day on the water! Saw some whales, came back in around 4. Usually see at least a couple other yaks out, but no one out yesterday.

Not my first surf launch. I live close to the san clemente pier and surf launching is the only option there, so I'm pretty used to it. Saturday was definitely a pretty heavy launch but we made it (some surfers and people on the beach had their eyes peeled on us the whole time, as I would have too.....ha). And yes, I've flipped many times (mostly on the way in) and been in some pretty gnarly surf, but I've never not made it out, sometimes it just takes a little longer. I grew up surfing and am very comfortable in the ocean, and to me beach launches are part of the fun of this sport.
