LAB spots and more 11/22/16 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Since the swells were not that kind today I decided to go for some harbor fishing, a first for me in over 6 months. I forgot how fun it was catching Spotties. Angry little dudes they are. All my fish came off of bright colors today and reaction baits fished slow on the bottom. The incredibly filthy post storm water quality guided me to stick with that pattern.

Crabs and Tako! Didn't know that there was octopi in the harbor, but I can't say that I'm surprised. Nothing surprises me after fishing with Druko. lol

Looks like a fun day out there!

It was! I went back again this week for less than similar results. The fish were back to their usual cover loving habits and ignoring my swimbaits. I still managed to nab a couple of the spinnerbait and finesse gear.

Is the wetsuit uncomfortable? nice variety.

Thanks!

Pretty comfortable I'd say. They're actually compression leggings that I wore under my board shorts. The website from which I ordered said that they had a high spf rating, but the stripes on my legs after that day begged to differ. So for kayaking they're pretty useless unless you wear them inside of waders for warmth.
