Well Bill sent me some pointers but I did not check my computer like a lunkhead (even though I new the note was coming). I did not think to do it, I was changing line, modifying my other rod and adding a crate to the front......all things that would not end up being as important as the intell!! Just my luck. I did NOT ever find the trout. I never went far enough up the creek.
I did catch plenty of hard fighting rockfish though. All at the spit. The tide was coming in. I'd let the wind and the eddy bring me along parallel to the spit. I'd cast my heavy spoon into the wind and reel it over the bar. They would hit it just before the drop off.
After hours of futily pursuing trout, I went back to the spit. The tide was up and had driven boats and shore fishermen off.....but the intrepid Kayak Angler wins again. I trolled and x-rap right next to the drop off ....where only a kayak could go...and caught one every pass. All 17 inchers except a 20 incher that is now in fish tacos! of course that brought big boats up, but their long casts were not productive...except to be constantly in my way.
Also, I trolled up a flounder today (on my rapala), tried to get a pic but it did not turn out! Bigger than my usual 9" but still about 4 inches short of a keeper.
Still plenty windy, but a good day
