Not exactly kayaking but..........

[Needlefish]

Took the boys fishing along the coast just off the shore ....... too lazy to bring the yaks today. Started in Seal Beach.......the "sea dogs" were crashing on fish (bonita?) in the surf to the point of almost beaching themselves...........very entertaining. Caught a barred perch and a large smelt but that's all. Traveled down to newport and took the ferry over to the island, fishing the public pier. Got some bass bites but no takers. Finally went to my old standby spot at North Star Beach and we did manage 3 spotties and a small 'butt. Tide was just coming back in around 3:00.....and we left around 4.

In hindsight probably should of taken the yaks in the harbor. The water was very clean and not too cold. The weather was ideal with sunny skies and no wind.
