SanO Beach Fun Day - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I hate county line launches the same amount I hate sabiki rigs... Problem is the power they pack, lack of pattern and different directions they form making for a tricky launch..

Zed.. I heard there are 2 sets of surf to paddle through.. How is the second set further out?

I am fairly comfortable launching through 3-4 footers with about 10 second intervals.. Not sure if its worst or better at SanO..

Shoots, work will be a busy one and red eyed and yawning does not a good date make.

Halibut blood is a valentiney color.

Mo theres a reform. The shorebreak is usually localized so a little walk gets you away from the worst punch so its just surgey rather than walled. The outside is consistent as to where it breaks w a nice channel to the middle where you can camp out indefinitely just outside the shorebreak. Its a slow wave from far out. Cake.

It's a bit exaggerated, but generally the channel.
Launch over/through the shorebreak, and hang a L in the channel for a bit and then turn R out the channel. Sometimes it closes out here on big swells. Still it's the best channel through. Reverse on the way back in. Depending on tide and swell, it may not be necessary to make that jog S, or maybe only for 10-20yds.

Momo - If you're comfortable with 3-4' County Line, Sano at the same size will be a piece of cake.

Thanks for the invite! I will see you there.

Just for those on the fence due to the surf, here is a pic I snapped today of the launch (farthest to the left) and looks fairly easy. Just get past that first small break

and your good!

have only fished this area from the shore and the shorepound can be troubling... out of nowhere I get a wave drenching me neck or chest high while surf fishing.
