10/18 Rockfish - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Light tackle fun, these were at 65' on plastics, though most of the day was spent at 100+'. Released lingcod, sculpin and some others. Bonito were there but finicky.

Typical fall weather, overcast and started with a light SW breeze then got pretty glassy.

Nice dude, looks like good eats.

How was that fog? Did you paddle through it?

I check the (MSU) launch on Sat and headed to the bay instead....

Nice halibut that you got on Saturday, Afran.

The fog bank held way offshore on Sunday, I was 2.5 miles SW, out with the New Seaforth and the Dolphin. Very fishy out there, literally solid on the meter at times with smelt and mackerel and blacksmith and senioritas and baby rockfish 'clouds'. F'n deep bull kelps and lobster traps out there too, 90 - 110' .

2.25 miles at 225 degrees from launch.

Nice taco material Larry.

Im always amazed though, Why dont you Trim the sculpin? I know you've been stung in the past, Id think that was enough to take the extra 30 seconds to trim them up when you catch them.
