La Jolla 10-16

[Cbad Mike]

Started with a very wet launch at 7am into the fog. Plenty of macs around who were all willing to jump on the sabiki. I took along frozen squid that I sent near and to the bottom while fly lining macs. The only things the squid was attracting was more macs and a few sand dabs. When the fog lifted I realized that I was the only kayak on the water and didn't see anyone other than a few boats all day. I put in a good effort and fished all over the place during the course of the day. I saw only a few seals and no dolphins. There was a ton of trap buoys all around and a shit load of trash floating everywhere (beer and soda cans, plastic bags, food wrappers etc.). I filled three bags and my cooler with idiots garbage from the water. The current was VERY strong and it took me along time and alot of muscle to paddle back to the launch. I got back at sun set two hours later than I wanted to to get back. Landing was wet and less than perfect but atleast I didn't roll.
The weather was beautiful, I got to play with the new Gopro, and I got WAY more exercise than I bargained for.
Finished my day with a huge plate of spaghetti with meatballs and a beer.
