LJ 5/12/07 AMs - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Yeah, I remember yellow adventure(s)...

Vaguely though.

One more thing I forgot to mention...

It is great to see how nicely the kelp has recovered.

But I have been noticing the same sort of build up on some of the stringers as we were seeing last spring.

I couldn’t help but notice…

My understanding is that last year, that stuff got all over the kelp dragging it with its weight down to the bottom... Where it died.

Sure hope it is only a "stringer under attack here and there" situation this year. In general, the LJ kelp looks really healthy.

What a zoo. Made early bait then looked for better bait. Never found it. Got tired of the crowds around the corner and took off north. Just found more bait. At least I got two freezer bags of shark chum out of it.

My friend and I headed out in our peddle double last evening around 5 PM. A little later than planned...but traffic on the 5 was horrible. We proceded to head towards off of the condo, stopping along the way trying to catch bait on the sabiki rod we made. We weren't successful in catching bait, so with limited time, we decided to troll around some yosuri's in around 65 feet of water. My friend Danny caught a mac on a 6" yosuri, so I slowed trolled that for the last hour of the day. About 15 minutes before the sun set we finally found bait, but it was a little late...

I talked to a couple other kayakers out there,
One caught a nice White Seabass
The other caught 3 small yellows casting surface iron

So the fish are out there...we just need get an earlier start so we can catch bait. Conditions were excellent: little wind, small swell, and fairly warm. I usally arrive in the morning around 5AM, but I had some stuff I needed to take care of so that wasn't possible. Can't wait to head out again...
