Monday Morning, back to the grind...

Sunday nights are quite different now that I work from home. I checked the weather for the upcoming week and it said basically there was a small window to fish Monday, possibly Tuesday. I spoke to my wife that night that I was debating going to LJ the next morning. Since it had started sprinkling that night I thought, well there goes my shot to go out. She said to set my alarm for 4:30 and if it was still raining when I got up, go back to bed. What a smart woman.

It wasn't raining. Load the gear and on the road by 5:15. I don't know about any of you but the 20 minute drive to the launch from La Mesa before kayak fishing is an interesting time. I am somewhat superstitious. I have a very specific routine of what I do. I try not to listen to music anymore (partly because whatever the last song I hear before I launch is stuck in my head the entire day on the water). Just a time to think positively about how lucky I am to live in San Diego, the mecca of kayak fishing. Is it weird that I visualize making perfect bait, perfect pickups, perfect hook sets, and perfect gaff shots? Well I do...and I'm probably not the only one.

This morning was one of those perfect mornings. Perfect launch, perfect bait, perfect pickup, perfect hookset (well kinda hookset, I use circle hooks), perfect spectra cutting through stringers, and perfect gaff shot. I was off the water by 7:30. It doesn't happen that way often, but I love when it does.
