LJ Sat 05/26? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

yakman619 · 05-24-2012, 05:12 PM

Is anyone planning on hitting LJ Saturday morning? Is LJ going to be crazy, with it being Memorial Day weekend?

Mr. Adventure · 05-24-2012, 05:58 PM

I'll be there, planning on 6am

driftwood · 05-24-2012, 06:11 PM

Stay away from the fish kelp Luke. It pulls hard

yakman619 · 05-24-2012, 06:30 PM

I'll likely be out there...probably earlier than 0600 though; I'm worried parking would be a bitch...

I haven't looked at the surf report yet...Is it going to be a rough launch//return? ...or are you trying to make parking easier

lol

slobslayer · 05-24-2012, 08:07 PM

Its supposed to be around 6ft surf so good luck with the launch. If you guys go for it make sure to have everything tied down.

yakman619 · 05-24-2012, 08:16 PM

Can you send me the link to where you're reading the report? I'm pretty green, and have not found a source that I'm comfortable with//understand clearly when it comes to swell forcasts.

On the home page for BWE on the left side margin.. this great site offers weather,tides,and swell charts for free. Also if your green I wouldn't recommend six ft swells

Mr. Adventure · 05-24-2012, 09:07 PM

Lola says 3-4 but I'll be sitting and watching for my break. If it's making me pucker up I'll just go see what mission bay is uP to

Whizz Bang · 05-24-2012, 10:13 PM

The good news is that if you make it out of the surf zone, you will only be competing with a handful of yakkers and the requisite zillion PBers.

Mr. Adventure · 05-24-2012, 10:26 PM

Going out is the easy part, just keep her straight paddle like hell and don't get bucked

yakman619 · 05-24-2012, 10:42 PM

Yeah...It's the coming back in that'll get you, lol. I'm thinking about sitting it out and launching pepper park in the early morn. It's not so much the surf I'm worried about, it's the lack of fellow kayakers on the water. There's a sense of security knowing that there are other kayakers around. If I don't go out, I wish you guys luck...Hopefully you kill it out there.

Speaking of pepper park; I always paddle out to the mouth of the bay and drift all the way back to the buoyline...Are there any other areas beyond the point worth looking at? Ive paddled out toward Coronado, but it just didn't seem too promising.

I'm pretty green but swells that big would turn me VERY green.

Good luck!

Yeah, I'm going to skip LJ tomorrow. Going to Dana instead. Depending on how that goes maybe LJ sunday

yakman619 · 05-25-2012, 08:19 PM

Thanks man,
With the waves, and fairly high winds, I'm going to skip LJ. I always hit pepper park because it it close to home. I'd explore other areas tomorrow, but I don't think that this is the weekend to do it.
