Best thing to do is just to get out there and watch the others. The only suggestion I can make on the landing is to do what I do. As soon as I get to a point where my paddle can touch bottom I jump off and walk the yak in. Most yakkers will ride the waves in, I choose not to take a chance and just walk my yak in.

Two Sundays ago my buddy and I were fishing LJ, he wasn't feeling well so he decided to head in early. Well, long story short, he got tossed and from what he tells me it wasn't pretty. After inventory he was missing a box of sinkers................and some pride.

When I headed in I noticed that the waves were cresting and crashing in about 4' of water. I paddled in after a wave crashed and as soon as I had the chance I jumped off and walked my yak in, glad I did because I was hit from behind by two 3 footers.

JUST DO IT!!!!
