i was fishing on a 3/4 day boat . if i remember correctly , i believe catalina . we were near shore fishing the kelp for calicos . we came across a capsized tadem kayak with its two occupants in the water and the kayak upside down . i think they might have launched from the landing , or beach with the hotels and rentals. the water was very rough and choppy and full of structure and rocks , which obviously are very dangerous under these conditions . who knows how long they were in water , but they could not do a recovery . the captain maneuvered into positioned to help them . it was fortunate rescue for them . who know what would have happened if not for the boat being in the vicinity . one other positive thing going for them was the fact they had their life vests on . be careful everyone . after i saw the captain had everything under control , i took full advantage of all the anglers on the bow. with run of the whole rail , i quickly tossed out a fresh one , and nailed a nice 5 lb. bonito on my curado .
