3/20 LJ 1st day of Spring ? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Woke up to 10 kt winds, but decided that was good halibut drifting speed. Got to the launch around 1st light. Just me and one other this morning, that I know of. Surf was still that NW wind swell with an occasional 3 footer in the mix. Made it out after taking one to the chest. I repaired my portabable F/F and was reading 53 and 54 degree water all morning. Made a couple greenbacks and worked them from 15 feet to 100 trying to find something. Not a whole lot on the meter and never saw a bait on the surface. Alot of dogs up there, just sleeping. Consistant wind all morning from the south. 8 kt lulls and 15 kt gusts. Threw in the towel around 10:30. Made it in dry, but I did have to paddle back out to avoid one................I need a plan B, well actually I need a plan C

I did the same Sunday morning about 6:00am to 10:00am with nothing biting or even showing on the FF. When I got to the kelp around 7:00am it was bent over so much I couldn't see it. By 9:00am it was on the surface and bent towards Scripps Pier, which way is considered downhill? Murky green 55 degree water. Welcome to Spring! Dave
