DP 02-16 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I also paddled over to salt creek on sat for a short hali, 2 sandies, a sculpin, a small 12-15lb bsb, and 2 weird looking shrimp/lobster things (did some research and i think they are called mantis shrimp, very odd). Man that's quite a paddle! Also had tail bitten off my swimbait by what i presume was a hali. Not quite worth it for the paddle since i decided to go ALL the way to the point north of salt creek, but I'd go back if there were some better conditions.

I mainly fished the outside edge of the kelp. Maybe next time I'll try the inside.

Noticed 2 kayakers sitting to the north of the headlands/strands beach area. Next time I'll stop and say hi.
