this weekend I felt that I wanted to fish freshwaters.   last weekend, while I was out on the salt:  on another beach further south, a fellow kayaker got punted by a great white shark and sent into the dark waters.   he climbed back onto his overturned boat and swamped it further.  other kayakers had to help him right the boat and empty it.   no thanks.   the guy did get a shark tooth souvenir left embedded into his kayak.    (that would a necklace in zero seconds flat for me)

 

so I hit the delta with a friend.  Gale force winds, and the toughest bite I have seen in a while.  

 

sooo.. the rest of the weekend will be me trying to best my furthest jogging miles and maybe some yard work.  hahahah...

 

have a great Labor Day Weekend people.    I should also try flipping my kayak (back over)  and getting back in faster!!!   hahhaha..

Yikes! I'd be doing yard work too. 

Sounds like you were stuck between rock and a hard to fish place this weekend! I have never fished in the ocean even though that is quite popular around here. I think I have made the right call in retrospect!

I admire your courage.  If I fished in the ocean, there is simply no way I’d fish from something that to the monsters below looks like bait.
