Non-report, report - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Goal was to run offshore.

0330 On the way to make bait. Made one greenie and that was it. Based on no bait, decided to stay inshore, wait for grey light and make bait..............never made bait. My compadre or myself.

Trolled the one I had while my compadre trolled the magnum. I hooked the biggest bonehead I've hooked in a while. Over ten pounds. It was was early, so I tossed him.

Found good rock fishing action in 160-185. Not big, but dinner. They look really small in the pics but the inner cover of the PA hatch is 12.5".

1200 Came back in try making bait again and make a last ditch effort for a YT redemption. Nada. Found a little bait, spanish, but at this point of trying to make bait for so long we were over it. I know some people made bait fine, but not us..............

To rub salt in the wound, I tipped my kayak over in knee deep water in 6-12 inch surf, first time ever. Pulled the rudder and mirage and let the waves just push me in lifelessly without paddle in hand. I had my defeated sad face on and was thinking about how I never want to fish again (I'm a bipolar fisherman).

Woke up this morning wondering when my XL bait tank would get here and looking at my work schedule to see when I could fish again. Even though I was like f**k fishing when I went in, you can always reflect on every outing and take something positive home.
