LJ 2/2 AM...the usual - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

It was nice meeting you Kelvin, and you too Brad.
We appreciate you trying to warn us Brad about those incoming rollers. A radio and fish finder are on our "to get" list. But, those waves were not fun at all. Julie believes she took a dozen to the kisser. Aaron got a little bit luckier.
After our morning shower we went toward the pier for bait. Made all we needed for the day (6-8" greenies). Made our way south past all the other yakkers. Aaron nailed a nice rockfish on a jig. Then we went north and met up with Brad and Arne. None of us were catching squat.
About 10:30AM we sprinted south a half mile when we saw birds working. Apparently, we found the calicos Kelvin was catching, working on baitfish.
Back north again. Fished the bottom as the west wind pointed us to the launch.
Finally, Aaron hooks something large. Kelvin was nearby and watched the battle. One helluva fight later, up comes a big bloated BSB.

Unfortunately, he forgot to fart. After 15 minutes or so and with Kelvin's help (and anchor) we were finally able to get that fish down. Off goes Kelvin. And then 10 minutes later Aaron's fighting another BSB. This one was smaller, closer to 60lbs. No problem getting this guy down.
At the beach about 3:30PM, small surf, easy landing.
