Nice checker! Thanks for the report.

Yup it was tough out there today. I got a late start and was hitting the water with 3 other guys at 1030-1100ish.... Paddled out and made some bait which was tough to come by... While bait-making the wind really picked up and the waves and current were too much for me too handle. I tried soaking a live one for about 30 minutes before I felt that the waves coming over the bow and stern were enough. I tossed the rest of my baits from the tank and reeled/released the 2 that were soaking. Paddled in and got to ride some nice surf into the beach. When I got there, there was about 8 more guys that called it quits (due to the weather/sea condition and slow fishing)....

Today was a success for me though... First time out on my yak in the Ocean. First beach launch and first "whitewater" surf landing. I didnt flip, I didnt lose any gear... I think I pulled off looking like I knew what I was doing.

And since I made bait... I didnt get skunked! (That counts right??

)

Where did you guys launch from? South of Doheny?

Thanks for the report Ed. I love how your "slow day" produces 6 quality fish. Some would say thats doing pretty good. Where can I pick up this hot sauce? Id like to give it a try.

You should be able to get Hot Sauce at any big tackle shop. Or go to http://www.attackleshack.com/.

I launched from the public launch at La Jolla... I guess Ed fished somewhere else. So for the confusion, my error.
