no go on Linda Mar for me next Sunday. Will be at Albion. Good luck if you go Sunday I'm sure others will be there wind and sea swells depending.  Try to park on the southern most parking lot so you can launch there. You will find that the waves are smaller there. The striper action was happening when bait balls moved in near the first swells. jig up some bait and free line it near those swells or use a lure and always point your kayak towards the incoming swells so you won't get surprised be a large wave.  This fishing takes guts I didn't try it, I stayed outside the swells and didn't catch any stripers. Just be careful launching and landing. The waves will challenge you in that area so it would be best if you observe other kayaks launch and land first so you can learn from them. Then try it or decide that it is too risky. I've only launched there twice and both times I have been dunked on the landing. Be careful out there and let the weather tell you when to go fishing not your days off.

Great advice from Yakee.

I'll likely be there this coming Sunday, as it looks Albion is not in the cards for me due to previous committments. Channel 69, conditions permitting.

obkook :smt044, (love the handle by the way), I agree completely on the "conditions permitting" part. There's a big south swell coming this weekend. I know LM is protected where you launch but the wind is supposed to be up as well. If it's real rough, I'll probably bag it and go elsewhere or fish from shore. I've surfed LM since I was 17 and know where to launch, how to deal in surf, etc. but in a kayak is new for me and totally different. Plus, if that south makes a nice wrap around the point and makes the surf pretty big on the north end of the cove, I have nightmares of hooking the biggest striper of my life that pulls me in towards shore right before the cleanup set hits which forces me to lose the fish and a bunch of gear. That could also just get real ugly and scary. I'm not really into "extreme" fishing. I usually surf when it's up and I started kayak fishing for something to do when it's flat since I no longer have my usual river fishing available down here. I don't have a radio yet either :smt009. Hopefully conditions will cooperate and we'll see you OTW.

SlayRide (love that handle too!)  :smt003 - I hear ya about requiring different wave eyes for a surfboard and a yak, and I'm still a :sign4: on the yak too. Let's keep a watch on conditions over the weekend see how it goes. Pop for a radio as soon as you are able though - definitely a must out there.
