3/14 No fish LJ report - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Congrats AquaHunter!!

I lost a couple of fish today, one was a halibut
in tight to the condo at 60'. Broke me off in
the kelp. Another was at 120' south of the
condo, I got left with a big dead mack with big rake
marks over its back.

Still saw a bunch of krill in deeper waters with lots
of bird activity. Water temp has dropper a point or two.
And the current was strong downhill all freakin day.

This mornings launch? Let's just say I launched in the dark
crapping in my pants all the way to the yellow buoys.

Yeah I was going out around 130 on sat took a long time to get past the waves, when i did one guy was being towed back by a boat. He said he fliped and lost his foot drive thing and a pole, the next guy said his pole broke, then the next guy said he got tossed over. At this point i was rethinking going out but i was past the waves and so i went out. Got a bass and my new fish finder worked. Then the white caps got to big to enjoy fishing, i b lined back to shore. I must have watched 30 people filp over in the rental kayaks. Still beats work.

Good times at the launch yesterday

fished from 8-7 the current was ripping but the wind was calm, the vis inside was cloudy green 5ft.

After watching the fleet pounding the same area for WSB's a couple mornings in a row for nada, i went for a peddle to find some clean water, and as the clouro charts showed from the previous day, there was a very obvious color break (15ft+ vis) about 1.5miles NNW of the NW corner. Lots of bait, krill, and birds on the area with tons of current but i really didn't see any signs of YT's, but the conditions where so ideal that I patrolled the area with the iron in my hand for hours, my eyes glued to the FF screen and hundreds of birds circling over head, patiently watching, listening, waiting...pretty much expecting them to show, all i got was mega macks on the couple drops I made that day. I also broke off a large 7gill or leopord near the kelp on live bait on the way in....nice day and more to come!!! I want some yellow meat!!!
