5/27 Seal Beach Hali-button - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Iceman · 05-29-2008, 09:03 AM

Wednesday is now my official day off for Summer. Launched into lil ankle slappers and little more wind and chop than I hoped for. Seal Beach is less than 4 miles from home, so real easy on the gas.

Paddled out toward the Federal breakwall with a plug on one side and a sabiki on the other. Picked up a pair of perfect candy bar greenbacks. Flylined one and traprigged the second. Set up on a reef that comes up from 45 to 35 feet. Sculpin eats my lil greenie.......big mouth bastard!

slim pickins with a couple sandbass on plastics. Head in to fish along the beach. short halibut, calicos along the jetti on plastics. School of these came through. hooked a couple that were too close to call, but saw a couple obvious keepers, one bigger model rolled in front of me and had one twice the size follow a hooked fish to the surface. Fun morning, landed at 11. ........until Next week.

If you were to paddle toward the cargo ship on the far right you would come across a reef marker. I caught a bunch of sandies there last time out and got one rockfish. Next time out I am heading south to Surfside for halibut.

Ankle slappers? Your ankles would be slappin' your forehead if you launched through that one.
