Dana Point 6/06 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

DanaPT · 06-07-2012, 07:12 AM

Met up with a BWE member at 4:30 am (I'll let him tell his story). Bait at barge had lively bait that lasted the whole (short) session. Went south from the Harbor to the capo beach area. Big swells in the water + variable wind made for a bumpy day. Needed to have my head on a swivel fishing close to shore. A couple of waves nearly made me $!#7! my waders.

Mostly fished depths between 20-30 ft. Here was the days final count:

2 short halibut
2 Calico
1 sand bass
1 Smoothhound shark
1 leopard shark

Off the water by about 11am. Winds seemed to have chilled the water a bit. I was reading 65 degrees.
