Short trip, shorter report - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Hit Dana This morning for a very short morning. Launched about 7:30 to a light cross-shore wind and pretty cold. I was hoping for yesterdays wind, but this was not to be. Got out to the Pipe, had about 20min with the wind stiff, but not too bad. Then all of a sudden it shifted out the south west and just howled. A 1oz head on a 4" Flurry was enough to find the bottom very rarely. Big wind chop and white caps within 15min of the wind turning. Today was definitely not for the faint of stomach. By 9:15 I was over it, 3 bites for the day. High light for the day was meeting Yakmedic and his buddies. We paddled to the harbor entrance together. Always good to put a face to a name. Hope you guys did better then me.
