LJ 4/1 AM Report - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Checked it out from Bird Rock to Blacks while biking. Only saw maybe 4 kayaker anglers out there, one guy working the boilers at Big Rock. The water looked much cleaner. It was nice at 7:00am but a good wind from the south had picked up by 9:00am. Not much swell, you could have launched nearly anyplace. Most of the kelp was not floating on top but I couldn't see the direction it was flowing, some was floating on the south end. From the Blacks overlook on La Jolla Shore Ln I could see at least a hundred leopard sharks swimming in shallow water inside of the Scripps Canyon buoy. Even with small binoculars I had a hard time with the I.D. until one roller over and showed a flat white belly. I was surprised to see them before the water warms up. Come on warmer water.
