The happy paddle - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I arrived at the launch at 5:30am on Thursday, March 11th and noticed that the waves were much bigger than usual. I was concerned about the LA guys launching ahead of me since I didn't know if they would make it past the large waves. That was close!

Most of the morning was dead with nobody hooking up. Many of the guys gave up and left except for this one guy far off in the distance who refused to quit..YANI. We both noticed when out of nowhere hundreds of birds started to gather all around us. It became a feeding frenzy on the krill.

I told Yani, "There's gotta be big fish here!" Dropped the right color iron and got picked on the way down. Thanks again Yani for helping me unravel that WSB out of the kelp. And I also want to thank the air support my friends, the birds.

I made the happy paddle back with only one kayaker ahead of me who to my surprise also had a big WSB on board.
