I went out on Sunday with my Uncle. He has a friend who has a slip at the marina there so we didn't go through the park. We launched off of a somewhat suitable spot next to the parking lot and started paddling out. Wind was blowing us around a bit but it wasn't too bad. It was my Uncle's first time out on his kayak so we were taking it slow, and staying relativity close to the shore. I made a few casts to wards some empty slips and turned around to make my way towards the bank. As soon as I did I got to see my Uncle take a dive off the side of his yak! After I made sure he was OK, I had some laughs. He didn't have any extra clothes so we paddled back up and loaded his gear. The wind was too cold to be out in wet clothes that morning.
I paddled back out after helping Soggy Bottom load up his gear. I paddled around the marina and up to the North part of the Eastern cove. The wind really made it a workout, bu I did manage to find a few calm areas to rest and make a few casts. After fighting the wind and occasionally getting to make a few casts in between, I decided to move back down and check out the West cove. Once I made it down to the South end of the marina, I figured I had had enough and would head back in.
Grand total of fish caught for being out 7 hours = Zilch. I got skunked.
I saw people in their boats catch a couple using soft plastics. I was doing the same, but the wind was pushing me so bad that I wasn't able to work anything slow enough. But what can you do? All in all had a great day on the water even though I got skunked. I will definitely be going back once the weather warms up.
