5/28 LJ - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

tylerdurden · 05-28-2006, 06:19 PM

I made it out and in on Thursday night and got lucky with my timing. Launching through this once in a week was enough for me. It would have been really ugly if anyone was paddling back through this stuff with a 40+lb fish on board. I was almost as worried about launching as landing. These waves were big enough that if a set one broke right on you on the way out I think the white water would have just ripped you off your kayak, no matter how square and fast you hit it. Also some of these waves had nice little tubes and a thump to them. When that tandem dumped this morning I decided to spare them the their dignity and not take pictures. I can only imagine the yardsales this afternoon when the rentals were out, and the fisherman that did launch decided to come back in. I almost stuck around for the show.
