5/28 LJ - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Some real grinder sets this morning. Timing was everything - I managed to get out dry but nearly got cremated by an outside set.

These guys waited about 20 minutes for a lull between sets...

Wouldn't want to take one of these in the lap.

Should have brought a longboard instead of a kayak!

Out a ways and rollers making a beeline for the launch area. Off shore wind started getting a little stronger about 7:00. Made the paddle out a little easier.

9-10 am glassy

Stayed out till 4:30 for 1 bonito & a couple of slime sticks. Pretty windy, choppy and sloppy all afternoon.

Good thing I stowed everything for the landing. :roll:

ops: Landed wet with dignity damaged, but tackle & electronics intact.
