Dana Pt slowness - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

rossman · 06-13-2012, 05:00 AM

I was out there yesterday too but I had quite a bit of action. I was trying to concentrate on WSB with macs and horse deans on dropper loops and Carolina rigs. I managed some by-catch including 4 chunky sandbass and 2 chunky calicos, and the biggest spider crab I've ever seen, and kept a 32" flattie.

Sorry no on the water pics

Actually, you were doing much better! I left the pipe shortly after you and went to doho where the wind and the bite were even worst.

Yeah the wind got kinda brutal. It was a really wet paddle back in. Sorry to hear you had it worse.
