5/6 AM - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

SAR · 05-07-2007, 07:49 AM

I was out for a few hours Sunday morning (new boat and new rods) and the conditions were pretty much as Brad described. Bait was tough but I managed three pieces two of which were taken by a dog. He swam up to the yak, looked me in the eye and went under and a few seconds later both rods went off leaving me with one bare hook and one mackrel head. It looked like most of the kayak fisherman were way outside. One of them came in with a beautiful yt (looked about 30#) that he caught trolling a rapala. Other than the swell and lack of fish it was beautiful. Hopefully it will pick up soon.

Sorry the bait didn't bring you anything. I covered a lot of ground in the RIB this morning to no avail, other than getting a chance to break in the new motor. Water was dirty and turned up most all of La Jolla, and I didn't see anyone hooked up in the fleet, nor di I hear any positive reports on the radio or at Dana Landing.

Still, it was good to get on the water after 6 weeks.

BTW, I am a Grandfather for the third time, as my older daughter had her third girl this morning! I owe a Cigar to everyone I saw out there yesterday (er, that was just Brad....)
