One of those days... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

that starts out with fishfinder problems, bait tank pump screaming and whining, fully loaded kayak cart tipping over on the way to launch, and no bites all morning.

A few hours later, just about the tide change, feels like I'm hung up on the bottom and about to lose another sinker. Slowly, the mass starts coming up. Feels like I've either hooked a giant kelp strand or maybe a 55 gallon garbage can.

A few little wiggles? Must be that braid pulling through some kelp.

Later that morning...
