First time in Huntington Harbor - Skunk - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Wifey and I hit Huntington Harbor for the first time on Saturday. We got on the water right as the marine layer started to break. Tide was super low, and the fishing was super slow.

I came armed with what has been working on Marina Del Rey, but it wasn't the ticket for HH. The water in HH is much clearer than MDR, and I was totally under prepared. I threw three different color hard jerk baits, and two different colored 4" swimbaits and didnt even get a bump. I eventually switched to a drop shot rigged with a 4" jackall bait, but at that point we needed to start paddling back so I didnt get a chance to really slow down like I think I needed to.

Either way, another great day on the water thanks to the guys (and gal!) at OEX. I think I FINALLY found the right boat for me and will be able to get out a lot more regularly.

Happy Monday everyone!
