White Island, 7-23-13 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Launched off Cherry Beach at about 5:45 with Landwhale. ALmost flipped getting in my yak, was a little rushed to in between waves (it was a little bigger than normal. Wanted to avoid getting wet, but the almost capsizing had me pretty wet anyways. Got out to the island pretty quick and started fishing our normal areas. Water was 64-66º, breezy with off and on clouds.

Long story short, fished the kitchen sink for 2 lizards, tons of short bites, and a few farmed. Steve did much better with a few short bass (he pulled the trifecta) and lots of lizards. It was good to be fishing, but dang it was slow. Slow enough that we gave up the ghost at about 8:45 and headed in.

Coming in I watched one wave and decided to go for it. I mean it's Cherry. Well right behind me came the set of the day. I was almost on the beach and I got nailed. Steve (he was behind me) said I disappeared and then shot onto the beach. I was soaked and annoyed. Slow fishing and managed to almost flip landing at Cherry. What a day!
