Tough day 5/16 am - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

ratdog · 05-16-2012, 12:37 PM

I launched to an unexpected large surf, timed it correctly so no problems. Made lots of greenies just past the reserve was feeling pretty excited. Tried several spots with no luck, still trying to dial in my new FF and today I saw a huge return come up to 20 ft under my kayak and disappear, spooked the living hell at of me esp since I saw on the news last night a kayak with great white tooth punctures in it, and only maybe 4 other kayakers out there this morning! It was very bumpy out there today, more so than any other time I been out, got tired early and decided to come in. Wow had the surf been building, be careful if you must go out. wish I had a fish to report.

I saw one kayak fishing dude coming back in around noon and got demolished

. He flipped like a pancake!

As soon as he landed on the sand he fell back and started puking huge
chunkies!

He said he got seasick out there and he continued puking while he was looking for his shades by the shore.

He told me his kayak is going up for sale tomorrow! he was done with kayak fishing!! Poor guy, I tried to encourage him not to give up. but he kept on saying with a voice of a beaten man. "I'm DONE!!"

Set up at 0700. Watched it for 30 mins. Then decided that discretion was better than a yardsale. Pretty intimidating, and close.

I actually thought it was a hebrew school but my buddy was convinced they were catholic. Either way their god didn't help them through the surf...

May not be a glamour shot, but technically it is a good pic. Clear, good colors, good wide angle. Is that the HD GoPro cam?
