Surf Landing...... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

-Stay outside of the swells and watch the sets come in.
-When you find that lag time between sets and you've come to the point where you commit to the landing, haul ass like you're life depends on it.
-When your kayak has stopped moving get out as quickly as possible.

An example from our boating friends.......

one thing I would like to add is to secure and/or remove all loose lures especially ones with treble hooks before heading through the surf!

Or you can just wait until the surf diminishes and not worry about it.

i ussualy launch in front of my house on law st in pb which generally has more surf than LJ.

I find it easier to leave the rods unleashed, not stow anything, and make sure you nail it...much easier.

Bonus is when you catch a wave and you don't have to paddle in...

Must be nice doin it with some horse power behind you, even if you eat sand comin in.

I would love to have a panga. Those things are built like tanks.

This could be us at the launch.

Be thankful for the relatively benign conditions at La Jolla.

Our counterparts in South Africa get to enjoy landings like this:
