Met up with Roscoe and Cronus, quick introductions and then a lesson for me on how to read the sets and swell from an elevation. This was my first beach launch and I needed all the help I could get. The ideal launch spot was located and the march began.

Surf was a little higher than expected but our launch spot was perfect. After following the cues, I was paddling that yacht and only crested one wave (the last) and was in the clear. Dropped in the drive and headed out in search of kelp. Water was green but clear and 63 degrees.

First cast was hit before it reached the bottom. Barred sand Bass. This is going to be great!

Second cast on a drift was hit within 2 minutes and brought up a calico. Rinse and repeat. I switched to a double rig after one calico came up with only the weight and hook in its mouth with the tube body nowhere to be found.

Lots of bites and I landed five, so I consider this a success. We headed back about 9:30.

As for landing, I followed the cues and paddled like a madman. I was told to hold back but I was comfortable with the swell behind me. I rode it in and was pulled in with a little help from a friend.

The walk back was daunting with my skinny wheels. If I had those grey ballon tires, it would be a vast improvement. Back at the truck by 10.
