My friend Brad and i tryed 2 launch at LJ on friday but the weather was to hairy for him seeing how he never launched from the surf before. plus in order to launch we would of had to launch against the wind (27mph wind) and a cross swell that had like 5-8 ft waves at like 3-4 sec intervals. in other words SHI#Y out. after watching some young guy try to launch for a few min. with no sucess we called it quits and headed for mission bay. we figured at least we could get bait at the bardge and use the wind to our advantage. we picked up some bait and made a few drifts for only 1 hookup. which turned out to be a bayray. decided to call it quits early and head home with the the idea in my head that at least im putting in my winter dews right??
Hope to see you out there guys.

P.S. thanks bro for the squid and the taddy9. if you see me out there hit me up for anything.

You gave it a shot. Thanks for the report. With conditions like that I would have went home and went back to bed... You're right about paying dues though...

Nice meeting you fellas at the launch. After a few of those wicked cross swells hit me I decided not even to attempt it. I hit mission bay around quivira and the wind was wickedd. Took me close to an hour to get from Quivira To Mariners where I parked.
