Lost Rod at LJ Shores 7/1 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

sure didnt look as brutal as it was when I was unloading this morning, But it did eat me up on my first launch attempt.

The wave were not huge, but they where coming in quick, and close together. If it makes you feel better, I snapped a Seeker rod in 2 first thing in the morning. Teaches me not to stash my rods when launching in surk like that. I packed everything underneath for the trip in, and landed with barley a drop on me. So it goes.

Sorry to hear about the loss, what a drag. I went out Saturday and the yak was swamped to the rails on the lanch. I had to pause to look in disbelief and think if my scuppers were plugged or what. My dry bag was floated out - fortunately I had it on a leash, like everything else my yak. Made bait, and that was it, besides feeling a little

motion sick from the large swells I somehow managed a dry landing.
