5/5 am - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Got down to the launch at 5:00am to find some decent surf. Short period 1-2 ft with the occassional 3ft sneaker breaking out further. Saw a lull as I was finishing prep, but by the time I walked out it was pumping. Stood there for a few minutes before I finally decided to just punch out. Couple over the bow but I managed to go up an over the last troublemaker. Headed north for bait. On the way there I looked west to see a wall of water. Quick check of the depth reassured me that I was in 30ft+, but a little unsettling all the same. Registered an 11ft swing. Birds led the way to a big mac/sardine school. Dragged them around for nada except a short ling. Surf mellowed by the time I landed at 11:30. Wind was picking up.
