Maiden Voyage - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Took my Hobie Revo out this A.M. and the surf was definetly up a bit along with the South wind. The Revo when paddling through the surf zone was veering hard to the left and I have never had a kayak do this. Got out to where the waves were breaking and practically duck dove the kayak through a 4-5 foot wave that broke over my head (another first on a kayak)....made it out and didn't roll or lose gear......messed around with the HDS -5 but wasn't sure if the fish and chip was being used (need to read instructions again)......Conditions with lots of south wind, plenty of bait...... off the water early due to the crappy conditions... Successful landing without a yardsale.....hopefully Wed and/or Thurs will be cleaner than today......
