Newport, 3-18-14 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

You think it was bad inside the harbor? About the same time you guys were launching from the coast guard I took off out of m street and headed out to the rockfish grounds. I did pretty good despite the rough conditions but came in 2 fish short of my limit because I got sea sick. I haven't gotten green on the water in a couple years but I actually blew chunks yesterday. The coast guard vessel was parked out in about 250' and I could feel them watching me laughing haha.

It must've been quite a paddle to get out there too. At least you got your dinner though. Even if you did leave breakfast behind

Yeah it was quite a paddle but fun too. The roller coaster up and down doesn't bother me when I'm moving forward, but it's when I'm stationary staring at my fishfinder. That kills me. Glad to hear it was productive inside too! The bass are hungry and aggressive right now. Sunday I drifted two medium size macs (8-10") looking for a Hali and both came up with bass! One sandy and one spotty. Both legal but not by much. Ambitious suckers!

Funny, I got sick on Saturday for the first time. I now understand how those people feel that continually have that concern. I was alright moving around but it was looking at my FF that did me in. I decided it was time to call it when I was putting fish on the baitclip on one side of the yak and chumming on the other.

Sorry to hear about the chumming. I've been slightly sick a few times on boats. Thankfully never on a yak.
