wholly crap what a day at oakland airport

So it was a late launch but 4 guys went out in some of the worst crap
I ever had to deal with,

Not one fish to speak of unless you count the bullhead that
red fish AKA ROB got. but like a pro he strapped that bad boy on right next
to a ghost shrimp got to love that

All i have to say is I never had to do a surf launch in the bay before today
so here is a list of NCKA crew that have BALLS

CHUCKE
DAVE>AKA FATBOY
ROB>REDFISH
INSANEDUANE

Looks fun!  Nice post.   

What a difference a day Makes.........

  YUK!!!!!

  That is some of the worst Bay water I've ever seen...

 Glad I stayed home licking my wounds watching FootBall

What a CRAZY Crew!

The easy way I found to post a video is to upload your video to youtube, then you can link it to the post using the youtube button. I think Bill posted a thread as a how-to.

CHEERS!

Ouch... Those conditions look pretty brutal. Way to give it a try though.

Yup... it was crazy.  It was my first bonafide surf launch and landing in the bay.  It was cold and nasty unlike the two nice days before when we should have gone.

There was about an hour in between when it got nice out there.  It's a good thing we didn't paddle out to the main channel.  We might not have made it back to shore.

It was fun playing around, but the fishing almost always sucks in those conditions.

I should stop fishing with Duane.  The last time I fished with him at the airport, we got caught in a hail storm.

That looks like you guys are in some kind of Krazy-Mental-state called MADNESS!  I heard the reports of COLD, HARD WIND comming through, so i wnet for a bay-shoreline walk up here and it wasen't too bad in the a.m., but got HEAVY after noon......3ft.windswellaisnastey!
Thanks for postin the pics of the conditions, so that when I pull up and it looks simular to that?  i won't even try to launch.....and head to the nearest place to get me some hot chocolate!

If a fish will bite it, Red will sacrifice it.  Aint never a baitfish escaped the cruel clutches of Redfish's 7/0 hooks. 

nasty...
good video tho...

Ha, saw you crazy @$$es bobbin' around out there the other day. I was one of the landlocked schlubs on the bank. Stuck on shore, I was envious of you guys despite the mess out there.
So any recommendations for getting started with a kayak...as in from absolute beginning?

Welcome Pisciform

 You have just taken the first step,

 Maybe put up a post on General part of this forum and introduce yourself...

 and the calvery will arrive...

 There is much information on this site and many bias as to which kayak is best...

"try before you buy"  many of us have more than 1 kayak and watch the " Hook ups "

 if ya make it out with me, I can bring a extra Hobie for you to try,

 Scallen is a Ocean kayak Team guy and can hook ya up,  others have wilderness systems Tarpon, Malibu

 and Cobra Murader... all fine Kayaks with differences to them that would be specific towards

 your wants and needs..

 Scawfish on this site also sells Kayaks and is a Good person to look up for maybe a "Blem"

 or end of year Deal...

  Welcome to the Madness ........ ....... Danglin

Duane and others... glad it was you not me out there.
