low tide lobsters - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

An Abalone hunter got killed this year doing something like that. Kind of a hybrid style in between Diving and shore picking. I guess a set wave came in and he either hit his head or got pinned or just plain worked him. I think he was overweighted too(you need more weight to stay down in 3' feet of water than you would in 15' feet).
I know that scenario isn't as likely here....but just something to think about.
