5/6 AM - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Got a late start so I decided to look for the flat kind. Launched around 9:30am into mild surf. Couldn't find any bait but Jimm H saved the day with some sardines. Thanks Jimm, good to see ya! Power drifted since there was no breeze until about noon. Weird conditions: the wind never really built but it must have been blowing offshore. Got real choppy and mixed up like it was blowing 10-12 but it was almost calm where I was. Bait showed up so I loaded up on shark chum, but the inexplicable chop got old quick. One sardine got munched on the bottom but no other signs of life, other than a sea lion orgy I accidentally stumbled upon. Surf had built up by the time I landed. Actually had to abort the first attempt and turn around and still had an outsider break on me. Lot of tourists getting dumped.
