Countyline 3/19 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

goletaslim · 03-20-2016, 09:16 PM

I witnessed a brutal launch attempt Saturday morning. The sabiki was loaded on a rod during the launch and when the gentleman washed ashore after taking on a large wave he had a couple hooks in his hand and arm with the rod still secured to his bait tank.

Other than a couple of flesh wounds and a bruised ego he seemed to be in good spirits before I took on the surf.

DON'T LAUNCH OR LAND WITH HOOKS RIGGED UP!!!!

County line has always been a tricky spot to launch from, it is a great surf spot after all.

On to the fishing.

Mediocre day of fishing. Some rock fish and a ling is all I managed to bring up. All caught on the yoyo setup. Bait was dealers choice. Macs and sardines everywhere. Boiling on the surface, giant balls mid column yet I couldn't manage a solid strike on the live stuff.

Current was strong, water color was a dark deep green, and water temp around 61.

The whales were steadily cruising around, always an entertaining experience.

Be safe out there.

saw the video, it was posted by someone on our Facebook page last night. All I can say is that I'm glad he's OK.

Im still at the beach house at las Flores beach until the end of the month. Contact me if you wanna fish here. No public beach access for miles. Calico bass fishing is hot. Will need to have surf launching and beaching experience.

Yeah, fishing along moonshadows is good. That whole area is good. Not many people ever fish it. These wealthy people here hoard some of the nicest beaches in Malibu. Offer is open to who ever wants a easy accessible launch. Weather was awesome today until late afternoon. Wind picked up a little.

Tomorrow is the only day out of the week I won't be fishing. If you can fish Thursday you should join me. Easy steps to walk down to beach from the house I'm at. We can fish Leo anytime. I'm out of here at the end of month. Waves and wind did pick up today. Not much wind in the am tho.

Sunday will work. Will have guests around noon. If you are OK with beaching by noon that will work well.

LOL!! Fun times. Don't leave poppers hanging from the Rod holder JAIME!!! Crazy how the nurse said working in San Pedro she removed hooks all the time. She said I was just lucky that I didn't get hooked in the face, as she had to remove those hooks before!!! Ouch
