On a Serious Note - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Be prepared for anything you never know what the ocean will throw at you. Was kayaking up in central California and when we went out in the morning the weather was borderline questionable, by the time we paddled roughly 10 miles to our fishing spot the weather picked up, by the time we made it back to where we launched surf landing was seriously a suicide mission 15+ surf and all the beaches had sleeper rocks everywhere, luckily we were smart enough to launch from a small bay, which still had 3-4 foot waves and the weather report said it was supposed to be small surf that day. If we had surf launched and had to surf land that day we would have had to call the coast guard. This is a great sport but just remember safety first.

BTW this was up by Monterey not CL if anyone got that impression
