Quickie at the Dana... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Big T · 03-12-2014, 07:26 PM

So went out for a little hooky today and got the kayak wet off of dana point. Paddled out to the Yacht Club flag dragging a rapala for a possible thresher... Nada. Drifted from there to the pipe. Nada. Paddled back. Did it again... on the way, saw two false killer whales Then a few more!!! Awesome! and then a couple of other whales... Drifted again for one short butt. Boo.

Went to the end of the pipe... drifted and came up with this. Thought,"Washed the skunk off...time to go."

Swells were small and the wind was barely there. Beautiful day. Still feel guilty.

No point doing it if you're going to feel guilty afterwards.

Might as well enjoy it to the fullest!

Conditions actually look a lot better than I thought they would today. I drove by around 5 on the way home from work and it looked choppy at Doheny.

You should never feel guilty for fishing instead of being at work. Unless your the Boss!

Yeah, I'd feel guilty if I played hooky too. But, at least you got a fish. Very cool seeing the False Orcas too. Heard there was a pod of about 50 outside of Dana today.
