O'Side 06-22 - Harbor - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Okay, so I had a couple of guests that wanted to go out of Oceanside. Unfortunately the weather was worse then Windy indicated, swells were breaking over breakwater and into the harbor crashing on the rocks near the hotel. Wind was howling, there were times the I couldn't go forward even though I was peddling hard. Hesitate for a sec and you'd be in the boats.

So we stayed in the harbor. Kind of slow at first but then we hit a couple of areas with some decent spotties, nothing legal but pretty close. And then we found some halibut, three shorts and a legal. Also got a small 'cuda.

A lot of work for being in the harbor... but it turned out well.
