Your stupidest mistake kayak fishing?

Complete yard sale. Stranded on the beach, up against the cliffs, with the kayak but minus a fair amount of lost unleashed gear, it took me about an hour to successfully launch past the surf, repeatedly getting thrown back by the waves. The surfers were laughing their asses off the whole time. Let’s just say I’m a lot more careful about wandering into surf zones these days.

LOL LOL LOL this is GREAT! I was in Deer Creek Malibu north County one morning chasing the WSB bite... 6 foot shore pound, about 2 second interval...


This was about 5 years ago and to this day have issues with my knee.. For sure tore a ligament trying to get my 14 foot barge out in that nonsense On my third try through the surf I flipped the yak on the 3rd yard sale for whatever I had left and at that moment could not really lift the yak and flip it over in the surf... tore a ligament :/
