LJ 9/20: First YT on the yak!
Finally landed my first yellowtail on the kayak at La Jolla this Sunday. Pretty awesome experience and not one I'll be quick to forget. Definitely nothing like landing one on a boat, that's for sure!
Thanks again to everyone here that provided tips for how to safely launch/land through the surf. Launched around first light and the waves were significantly larger and more consistent this time. So even though there was a little adrenaline going after punching through a few sets, kayak stayed upright, all gear stayed secure and all reels and electronics stayed dry(even if I didn't...). Again, really appreciate everyone here that's allowed me to learn from their knowledge and experience. Can't wait to get back out there!
