LJ 4/22 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Launched at 7am to tiny surf and grey conditions, got out past the point and found tons of macs but no squishies.

Had a pod of dolphins as well as a mother and calf whale do a drive by on me, tried fly lining macs as well as frozen squid all to no avail!

Long story short no love for the keeper kind for me but an absolutely amazing day on the water! I will add some pics later!

There were 8 other yaks on the water as well as three pb's but the few guys that I talked to were in the same boat I was (pun intended) with nothing to take home other than beautiful conditions!!!

Did catch a few small sand dabs (new species for me) anyone ever keep or eat them? If so what's a good size? The ones I was bringing up were about 8 to 12 inches long and seemed pretty meaty for the size......just wondering if they are worth keeping????
