Poozed Out at the launch....Swell - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Got up this 5:30 to check the cam, someone was getting ready to head out, so I figured the swell must be okay. Arrived at the shores around 7:30, to find a nice peak breaking in front of the launch. I decided to watch for breaks in the sets, but they were few and far between. People were surfing the peak in front of the launch with 4-5' sets. Figured I would watch the show for a bit and see if any other yakers showed up. Four people with sit in kayaks and no spray skirts showed up....that was a good watch, one made it out half full of water, one dumps in on the beach, the other two end up watching from shore.
Found a rather small Shakespeare gaff in the sand, if it is yours let me know and I'll get it back to you. The lifeguards ended up red flagging the launch due to small craft advisory and large swell. Maybe next weekend I'll get to peddle out it looked manageable to get out, but getting back in without getting worked......I'd put the odds at pretty slim. It looked like a lake out there besides the shore break.
