LJ 4/1 AM Report - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

tylerdurden · 04-01-2006, 12:45 PM

I launched around 5:30ish. Water is really clearing up nice and feels warmer. Some spots had 30' vis. Couldn't get bait until 6:50. Maybe the tide, or the fact that by that time drifted into deeper water. Lots of small spanish and some greenbacks in 120-140'. Bait was never balled up tight but scattered. Caught sand dabs and lizards too. Dragged around a greenback low out to the kelp and around the edge for a while. Then came inside the kelp to about 10-30' and drifted over the sandy spots right outside the surf line looking for halibut. A couple of the small spanish got raked good, but nothing stuck (note to self, use trap hooks). Wind sucked. I did get another iron man fish at least. Going to try again tomorrow. There was almost nobody out there today.
