Carmel 8/4

Went out with a buddy under Brendan Crahan's excellent guiding from Stillwater Cove. Probably caught 12-15 variously sized rockfish and had a blast. Mostly using smallish anchovy fishtraps. So much kelp there that's it's hard to paddle sometimes.

First time kayak fishing for my friend and Brendan made it very enjoyable and easy. (So I think I'll be able to get my friend to go again!) Thanks, Brendan!

Stillwater Cove was certainly a cream puff place to launch...
