DP 1/16/11 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Can't sleep.

Met up with some BWE members at DP. The last time I was at DP, which was several years back, I was taking some kayak lessons with Southwind Kayaks. It was breezy in the AM; the wind laid down and then came up a bit around noon. It was a very nice day out on the water. I wasn't sure about going since I wanted to check on some items on the yak before going out, specifically my bait tank.

Good thing - the bait tank worked (the bait receiver had 4-5 inch anchovies). Unfortunately, I only caught a calico bass. I was using swimbaits, squid on a lead head, and dragged some live bait around. Some of the fellas caught short halibuts and sand bass.

Coming back to the harbor, I have never seen so many SUP boarders. I believe they were the ones scaring off the big halibut we were after.

I caught some lunch on the way home...
