Launching from MB to LJ

It's not a big deal....when you have a trolling motor.

Or a mother ship.

MB to South LJ kelp, you're looking at about 3+ miles... It's a long haul.
I see recreational kayakers paddling that route, but rarely fishing kayaks.
Be aware of the strong current in the mouth of the bay, depending on the tides. Despite relatively short route, paddling into MB channel against outgoing tide can be brutal. MB is shallow, so on occasions it's like a river...

As suggested, launching from Tourmaline is much easier, but swell better be real small.

That's funny Chuck, I remember when we ran into you... We had to swing by, as you don't see kayakers often working the South LJ kelp

Awesome info. Thanks for the tip.

Will check tide charts and find a good day to try this. 3 miles is doable, will see if its worth the trek.

3+ miles? Use the legend lol
