Easter weekend launch - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Biggest worry about the launch will be not getting stuck. Seems like quicksand lately.

Past 2 nights someone has gotten stuck while I was loading up.

Good point Corey. Don't be this guy....

"Wow! That sand looks really deep and soft. I thnk I'll try to drive through it in my 2wd luxury car." Doh!!!

Yeah I've seen parked cars there the last few times I've been out.

I am a little more concerned with the waves because a friend will be borrowing my zodiac. I guess if he really wants to go out, he can always swim it out beyond the breakers.

Nate, The pier is calling for 3-4 footers, so I'd guess the launch will probably not be bigger than 1-2 feet.

See above link. Based on the forecast of predominant swell of 6 feet at 7
seconds (short period = bad), I would say Saturday morning at LJ
Shores coould be a pretty "wet" launch.

As of now, its blowing 20-25 mph at Point Conception, and could bring the
windswell up quickly by tomorrow AM. Go anyway.

"Its just water"

Good point Larry. The short interval days make it tough to get out dry. But it is just water.
