Carmel River Yakin...

My Son and I went out of Carmel River Beach today.  The ocean was flat and the vis looked about 15 to 20 ft if your a diver.  Any how, we tried deep first, but no bites.  We came in shallow about ~30ft of water and finaly got a few each. Nothing to brag about, but we got dinner!   The wind started up a 11am and blew us off the water soon there after.  That's my story and I'm sticking to it... 

Fish On!

lots of fish is always nice but if you get enough for dinner, cant complain.  Sounds like a good day

Good stuff. Based on the title, I thought you yakked down the river! That w/b sweet. Always good vis there...15-20ft is actually normal. Part of the reason I like that place so much--it's almost tropical!

I wonder how far youd actually be able to yak. Sorry for the tread jack, or not...Andy.. Thanks for the report

You can put-in at Los Padres dam and kayak all the way to the ocean. At least, you can during winter/early spring when there's max flows. But I wouldn't do the upper section in a SOT...too many strainers. There is a death every couple years there. Here ya go: http://www.cacreeks.com/carmel3.htm
Hey Andy, I want to borrow one of your miniyaks to fish Los Padres Res soon. Because it's too far a walk to take my T140. Been there, done that, never again. http://www.norcalkayakanglers.com/index.php/topic,6076.0.html
