Long Beach jetty

[Southman]

Hit 72nd street for a beach launch around 6:45 this morning. Little breezy with light chop. The beach had a tall sand berm on it and the sand was pretty soft but soft wheels on the cart made it manageable.

Made my way out to the end of the LB breakwater by the bait barges. Wind died down nicely for a while. Fished the backside for a couple undersized calicos. Then fished the other side and nada. Did manage 2 small sandies on the way in. Used min-hammers almost exclusively- no livewell yet. Met 2 other yakers who are also on BWE but we were the only kayakers I saw fishing. I think their day was pretty slow as well. Tried for a hali along the beach on the way in, but Mr. Hali wasn't cooperating.

All in all my first trip out to the breakwater. Glad I did it. Got back to the beach around 1:00.
