4/17 a tad late....

Nice hefty piece Dan!!!

Today was pretty ugly out there...

Launched early... With low tide and bigger swell, some sets were breaking under the pier light. Only managed 1 micro spanish. As the daylight moved in, found big bait ball in 40ft SW from the Pier and quickly loaded up.

Surprisingly, not too much traffic – 7-8 PBers and that many kayaks.
I heard the guy who's got a report up on BD on the radio...

There was a ton of birds on the outside… Way outside.... Never caught up to them.

Wind kicked up around 9:00 AM… It was a major pain to paddle into the wind + pretty descent downhill current… Took forever to come back.

Water brownish, about 10’ visibility. I was reading 59 – 61 temps…

I managed a couple of pencil cudas and 1 calico.

The swell picked up een more by 11:00AM, so landing was dicey.... Hight tide didn't help. Slid on one and jumped out in 4ft of h2o before the 2nd 2' breaking wave caught up to me… 4 + 2 = got me wet almost up to mu chin... Didn’t roll, but I was wet like I did… lol

Good seeing everyone.
