Cool stuff on getting out of being stuck but back to the original thread, I saw this yellow stuff, too. There were several slicks down by Scripps pier. I asked a few others about it since I'm new around here. One person said it was huge clusters of pollen? I'm not sure I'm buying that but it did look weird, maybe an algal bloom of some kind?

ahahah i was wondering if we would ever get back on the subject! yeah definitely weird tho, when did you see it? How was the fishing?

I saw it both Saturday evening and Sunday evening. Also went out Friday afternoon. Lots of bait each day, no good fish caught by me, didn't see many others. I couldn't tell you what the yellow stuff was. Nice high tide last night so I walked through a puddle of it loading the kayak back up. Kind of nasty since I was wondering what it was.

Done. Thanx.

this is one time I agree with launch being 4x4 access only.
Waaaay to many people & cars in~N~out in the summer months.
I was almost hit J-walking once at the shores. Something like that...

the sand trax / crate is a very clever idea.
