Launched this morning at 8am. Trolled my umbrella rig, and a tandem rig. SKUNK!!!
I went straight out for about 1.5 miles. I marked a few at the initial drop around 15'. After that I didn't mark anything. But I pressed on. I turned south and trolled to the cliff right before the radar antennae. Made another right to head toward shoer, then another right to head back north. A big square was my track.
On the way back, I stopped to drift around the wood pilings which appear to be an oyster bed. Used salted bw and shrimp. No takers. I motored toward north beach afterwards. Halfway there I had that "this is a waste of time" feeling. I made a u turn and headed back to the marina.
Before headed back to the car, I decided to explore the creek in the opposite direction. Man it is beautiful back there. I went up creek about 1.5-2 miles, marking few small fish here and there. The creek winds back. Smooth waters there. Passed quite a few kayakers today. None were anglers though.
I motored about 3.5hrs today. It was relaxing out there this morning, but I think things may have picked up, wave-wise.
This was my first time by myself.
In other news, this was my first time this season going without my waders. I had swimming trunks with shallow pockets. I had my phone in my pocket at launch. As I backed out of the ramp, I heard a "kerplunk!" Apparently, it slid back, out of my pocket as I sat down.
May my iPhone4 rest in peace
After that happened, I almost packed up and went back home. I really use it all the time while on the yak. I felt like I really didn't know where to go. That resulted in my half-assed effort today.
It was a great time out there as always though.
