Is it windy out there? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Waterâ€™s Edge

Coming in ... decided to turn her around and came in backwards. A nice smooth, dry landing, even though the surf was still pumpin.

After loading up, took a break and watched the rentals still going out and coming back in. It was pretty entertaining. One yak pearled, and the front person in the Tandem actually launched, it looked like a catapult. They were fine, but it was quite a site.

Many, many more (close to 1/2) flipped. And then out of nowhere, you see a yak doing everything wrong, paddling badly and on the wrong side for where the wave was, just about to flip, pearl .... and how bout that - they made it all the way in

Once out there on the fishing grounds today, it wasn't bad until appx 12pm when the wind really kicked it into high gear. Swells from multiple direction and whitecaps, made for a fun time.

And the final question ..... Where did all the bait go? What was around was being scattered all over from the dolphin and seals, and when I did find bait, they just weren't biting. I had two PB'ers come up to me asking about bait, and have I had any luck cause they just weren't biting the Sabikis.
