C'bad 10-2 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Quick report to help you weekend warriors. Very dead afternoon at the kelp. Fished from 2-Sunset. Those lobster boats have already cut the kelp to shit so it's almost non-existent besides a few submerged stringers.

Bait was also non-existent, tried for an hour or more and called it quits. Busted out the surface iron and must have made over 1,000 casts and didn't get bumped, even on my magic jig haha. Worked my way onto the reef and worked a spoon jig yoyo style for a few calico's to get the skunk off.

Overall very dead, but was still nice to get on the water before this weekends weather hits.

On a side note, is it just me or does the inshore bite seem to have died down a bit? Those yellows seem to be MIA as of these last few weeks, I'm just going to blame it on the moon. I haven't even found a bonito or barracuda willing to bite these past week or so.
