Carls"BAD" - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

echo1er · 09-18-2011, 06:32 PM

Woke up at 6am after a long night of drinking the day before. But lucky I prep everything before going to bed. Charge the GoPro Super Glue jig heads to Big Hammers. Couldn't be any more perfect prep for the Sunday. As I woke up and place all the gear in the car I was ready to go. Wrong set back one for got my ID turned around got my ID left the house. Then I for got bottle of water turn around. Finally on coast highway nothing but crazy bikers and joggers EVERY Where. Stop right in front of the Carlsbad power plant to wait for everyone. Seeing to kayakers already hitting the kelp beds watching them for awhile I was like "hey if no one comes I still go out there" Before going into the water had to check the forums Alex A2yakfishn hits up on a thread saying his there. Great guy did his set up. Call Jeff his not feeling it at the moment. Beg him to come out said he will be there in a couple of minutes. So Alex and I where like okay lets do this. Looking at him looking at me First time on the surf we where like this is going to be bad. Got up to knee high water and hop in the yaks. Turning on the GoPro I had to record this. We started going out made it. Alex look like a pro going out there. As we passed the break I was going to bring down my sailing rudder. Nope not going to happen for got to detach the Tie Down. Was going to do a blog on my go pro thats was gone. Having hope that it was washed on shore I told alex I'm heading back and I'll see him in a few. Returning in the surf I flip lose my seeing glasses my water and I was just destroyed. Lucky my wife had my back up glasses from deployment. Jeff gets to the spot and we relaunch to the kelp. We get there and we spread out covering more kelp.I see Alex way down and Jeff in the middle of everything while I'm stuck in kelp. Jeff catching fish as always and getting bites. Alex got nothing me I got a lot of kelp. Well Alex had to leave. Soon after Jeff and I leave here we go again the return. Jeff gave some good tips on how to return. So I'm going in I'm feeling good and what happens wave takes me under this time I reach for my glass and hold on for dear life. Never again will I go Carlsbad. But hey theres a GoPro for anyone that wants one in the bottom of the surf zone. If you get it please deleat my Afgan pictures.

Hope you enjoy my FML day.
