DP 3/22 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

SorryCharlie · 03-23-2013, 01:50 PM

My friend and I headed out of the harbor around 7am and went strait up to the headlands kelp area.

My friend was planning on spear fishing, but once he jumped and realized the visibility was about 5-6 ft so that idea was abandoned.

We drifted around the kelp occasionally tying off. Ended up with 3 short calicos, 2 legal sand bass (one let go to fight another day), and my PB calico...... Unfortunately I was not the smartest with bringing her strait into the kayak, she flipped out spat the hook and over the side she went.

Oooo well thats life. All fish were caught using Big Hammer swim baits. I was very surprised when around 11am the water was in the 65-66 F range. Nice day once the morning clouds had blown off.

Plan on trying again tomorrow.
