Staying out of the south river - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I got stuck in that damn river last Friday- took me nearly 3 hours to paddle from Winansea to the launch- close to 11hrs on the water and only 1 fish to speak of (bonie- released)- had other bites but no hook ups. Launched at 4am and made bait easily for the first time- cat food and sabiki at the end of the pier. used the modified kitty litter bucket and a battery powered aerator to keep them alive- refreshed water by hand every so often- worked pretty well for the $15 bucks i spent at Cabela's.

I did see two guys with decent yt landings- one about 6am just outside of the pier- and another around 10.30 off the point and a bit south.

long day- my ass really hurt after that one.

going out tonight closer to home in Carlsbad- any recommendations? I was thinking from Swami's to the Reef.
