Hunt Harbor 1-12 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Meet up with Andy at 6:00 and headed to the PCH bridge. The wind was blowing though the air was warm. First trip out barefooted in truncks in a while.

When we got to the bridge area the incoming tide was ripping so fast it would do its best to spin you and you could feel your rail dipping down like it was going to roll..........

The fishing was really slow with the tide moving that fast.I managed one short bite and one small spottie.

Headed back at 8:00 so Andy could get to work. I stopped at one of my dock areas to give it a try and was rewarded with a 14" sandie that ate a Zoom Fluke on the sink. I have been throwing the blde with no success the last month and then

This 15" sandie slamed it and gave me a real good fight. Headed in at 10:00 when the offshores really started blowing. It was almost 80 though the water had dropped a degree or 2.................

Some very big tide swings the last few days. Like paddling up river at times. Glad you were able to get on the water and catch some fish.
