Surf...Surf...Surf... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I fished the last big swell we had two years ago. It was double to triple overhead breaking in the cove, but the launch was pretty do-able other than a vicious rip current running north. I like being out in big swells as long as it's calm. Not sure how this one is going to hit the launch/cove, but I'll probably take a long lunch to go check it out if I don't fish tomorrow.

It was easy to decide

Awesome to watch. There were as many foot long lenses clicking off 10 shot bursts as there were body boarders.

I have launched here many times......not today

I saw a couple broken boards and bloody faces

Just got back from the cove. 10-12ft, breaking right inside of the southern most reserve buoy. Forgot the camera. Not huge, but pretty cool.
