Pick a good day and practice. Purposely fall off and make sure you can get back on. Keeping the bow into the swell is the key on launch. If the surf is up, you will get wet but will not flip as long as you keep the bow pointed into the wave or white water. Once you get past the surf zone you can change into something dry. Landing is the most difficult. I have been backing in lately with no problems. Same concept applies..........keep the bow into the wave or white water. Before landing, wait on the outside and see where the waves are breaking. That is where you do not want to be. Either side is ok. Practice with no gear first and build your confidence. No reason not to launch thru the surf unless it is bigger than you feel comfortable with. Good luck and good hunting.

I was croc'n two ways... 1st: Cast as far as possible and letting fall to bottom... Then reeling and slant jigging a bit on retrieve. 2nd: cast as far as I could and medium peddle constantly letting the croc out and then sweep pulling it back toward yak... Sometimes with a small flick or jig in the motion (This fished the top more). I think my 20# leader wasn't enough though... Will tie on 30# leader next time... I read that some guys use iron with 40#... But I think I will test up gradually...

Yes... Next time I will be launching in shorts only (at least with this warm water) and will keep my cloths dry in ziplock bag safely in hatch.... As we did a 5:30 launch... It was a bit difficult to get warm again.... As we had no other clothing... If it had been colder weather, I would have had to call it quits😱😱😱

with this warm water, getting out isn't the main challenge.... We got soaked but we were fine... The more challenging thing is getting back in if there are some breakers can get pushed sideways if not careful... We played it ultra conservatively .... Stowed all rods... And stowed all reels that were not bolted to rods... Then jumped out ar chest high and walked the PA in backwards (buddy's suggestion) cuz the bow of the yak cuts the surf better. Buddy had smaller yak... So he went in first and waded out to give me a hand. Another key is to wait until just after a larger set of waves before making your dash in... And EVERYTHING's GOTTA BE LEASHED JUST IN CASE....😜😜😜
