OC Inlet Report

Wow, that sounds terrifying. Glad you dodged a very close call. Fish OC long enough and everyone will usually have an similar encounter. I had my at night while fishing the 50 Bridge a few years ago. Take care my friend.

That looks like WMO and wouldn't be a completely accurate depiction. Outside WMO and the other offshore tournaments there aren't that many offshore boats coming in at once. Plus, it looks like outgoing current and you can't fish that part of the south jetty on outgoing current from a kayak; even without the boat traffic. You'd have to fish on the other side of the rocks in the video.

But either way - you wouldn't catch me out there in that! I've been out there before during WMO before and won't do it again. It's not worth it with the size of some of the boat wakes hitting you.

Outside the tournaments though it really isn't all that scary once you get familiar with the place. This old link has some good info:

Just a reminder to myself that I always have to be paying attention and that it's not just the tourist yahoos you have to be careful about.

P.S. We need to get out together again soon! It's been awhile...
