SD Bay 02-04-2024
Okay, so my friend called and said he wanted to pre-fish the bay for this weekend's Spotty Bowl deal. That means no bait fishing, bah, I'm definitely a live bait guy. Anyway, it looked like there was a window between storms and I was getting cabin fever, so what the heck.
Started out fairly nice, light breeze from the SE, barely any ripples on the water and the tide was moving out. We started out in our usual spots, no love from the Spotties but I did manage to get a couple of sculpin on an orange hook up bait. The weather started getting rough, the tiny... It did get rough, I'd guesstimate there were 2 foot wind chop from the south as the next storm moved into range, nasty for a kayak. We moved to a more sheltered location, trying a couple of possible spots. I managed to get a fair sized spotty while he caught a lizard fish. On the way in I cruised over a spot I have saved and saw some decent marks, so I dropped down and hooked up on a small sting ray. I went to lightly hold it down with my foot when it did a leaping somersault and jabbed me in the thigh. I yanked that pisser out right away. Needless to say my drive home was painful. The sculpin joined me for dinner.
