Paddle Yaks how far have you gone? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

With out a GPS/plotter it's hard to tell true distances. But I'd guess 6-10 miles might be a decent fishing day in LJ. I've done some longer trips like O-side harbor to the golf ball n back.

Some times its conditions that make things tough. Some times the current out of the NW will really get moving in LJ. You paddle around the corner and you're off wind n sea in 40 minutes or less. That's a long trip back cause if you stop it slow down you're losing ground.

I got caught in a serious wind when I lived on the outer Banks of NC. Hardest I've ever paddled. Over 2 hours to cover about a mile and a 1/4. Some times you don't know what you can do until you have to. Mike
