Cardiff Report
Well, those who did not join me in Cardiff today did not miss much. The surf was much larger than predicted at launch time. I had to wait about 15 minutes for a lull but made it outside without incident.
Nate and Drew were there testing some new stand-up paddle boards. They were supposed to be filiming the new Hobie Pro Angler, (Prangler?) but I never saw them outside the surf line. Maybe the large surf was more than they wanted to take on with such a big kayak.
The water near the kelp was dirty and about 60 degrees. There was a strong onshore current and lots of bumps on the water. I saw plenty of bait but the bigger fish mostly took the day off. I did catch a few small ones, (barricuda, macks and Callico), but nothing worth bragging about.
Thankfully the surf had died down by the time I headed in. I managed to position myself between swells and peddled all the way in without getting hit from behind. It almost felt like I knew what I was doing.
All in all, it was a nice day on the water. Maybe next time the fish will show up too.
