A Day that almost Didn't Happen w/pics 11/1/09 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Well left the house around 8:15am

h well: and headed to Seal Beach. Spent 20 minutes looking for a parking spot :no: . F-this i was saying and on my last circle a spot had opened up so i thought lets do this. As you all know i haven't been out for what seems like forever. I left the waders in the truck with beautiful sunshine conditions T-shirt and Swim shorts :wave: .
I paddled out to a spot that i always fish and usually have good luck. After a few casts got this little sandy on the swim bait!!

Fished there for about 40 minutes and farmed a couple. Right before i was going to head out the rig i had a TJW deadsticked and it went bendo. This Sculpin hit the deck!!

Did i mention how nice of a day it was!!!!! I was sweating with my pfd on!!!!!

Water was ranging from 61' to 64 degrees with some small spots of what looks to be a red tide.
Got this Sandy next out at the rig working between lobster traps.

Once again i get hit hard on the Deadsticked TJW and this one is taking some drag. Fought for a couple minutes and brought this on the deck.

Went just over 19 1/2 but had some gerth.
The 2 weapons for the day

Hopefully i wii be getting out some more to add to the reports!!

Where did you launch from in seal beach? I am not very familiar with that beach.

Very nice report! Thanks for sharing. I second that question, where did you launch? I live nearby and have never fished seal beach before.
