DP 02-16 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

On the water at 9am, picked up some dines and headed north to Salt Creek this time. Water was smooth and clear, wind was light until about 2pm, but still manageable. Lots of dolphin activity.

Fished outside the kelp for a bit, nada. Fished inside the kelp for a bit for one small ling and lots of rakers but no takers. I even used a stinger for naught. They were teasing me.

Headed back to the docks but by the time I hit the harbor at about 4:45 the wind died and the water was smooth again. I love it when it is like that so I headed to the beach for a small sandie and a couple of nice strikes of unknown origin.

Wind came back up but was in the opposite direction and was rather cool, so I headed in. Back at the dock about 7pm.

Way to go ctrujillo, good hunting! Were that you fishing the beach as I went in to the beach?
