PL Kelp 6/20

Figured I'd finally find out for myself how launching at Orchard St. really is. Decided on taking the Mini-X so I could carry it down that long steep ramp and across the loose rock beach. Surf was really friendly today so no problems. I would recommend only launching on a day like today (less than three feet) for anyone who hasn't launched here before since the rocks give you that much more of a reason not to get dumped in the surf. Made my way down to the kelp for a few hours of pot-holing. Manged a nice size Calico and a small rockfish. I could hear tons of fish thumping their tails in the canopy all around me. Landing is pretty tricky at Orchard St.. It paid off to be patient and really get a good feel for the timing of the sets as I landed dry without having to school the surfers next to me and show them how it's done! (yeah right!)
