Dirty water report 8-23-10
Fished a dirty water spot early AM yesterday.

A friend was out kayaking at dawn and hitting fish. I went to look for him at 7, and the flat water got crazy real quick.
I don't know how he did it, I was 1/2 mile W of him. The intense N/NE wind made it impossible to cover even that small distance, so I went straight out to the channel.
Waves averaging 1'-2', with an occasional 3' thrown in. The only way I could fish was to point the kayak into the oncoming rollers and take them head on. The wind and swell was pretty intense out there after sunrise, it was like someone put a high powered fan on that wouldn't let up. http://www.noreast.com/discussion/im.../surprise2.gif
I was fortunate to be using the Hobie today, he was out there with just a paddle.
I later found out he came in soon after the heavy rollers started. Good for him, it was a little hairy. :scared: It's pretty impressive the guy was out there with only a paddle, banged some fish, and made it back in one piece. Frikkin maniac, he is. :thumbsup:
I managed a few porgies on sandworms before it became too intense and I gradually made my way closer to shore.

I was sad to leave because the fish were there in the channel. :(
Safety first.
