A 20 mile crossing of the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay. Out of the 14 starters, 2 paddlers completed the trip, all proceeds from the event went to Special Olympics. A large number of paddlers were turned back due to weather concerns. Overall the event was a good time for all involved.

I would have joined in the fun, but I found out too late, and had family commitments .

I only had about 2 and a half hours of free time today, and I knew I couldn’t get out on the water and clear before the weather came in. I don’t like to be the only thing on the water holding an 8 foot lightning rod. So instead of hitting the water I hit the road on the bike, I can get 10+ miles ridden, in less time then I can get the boat to water.

I have talked to quite a few kayak fishermen in the past, and have watched a few in passing on the water, but nothing hammered home, how effective it is to fish from a kayak as watching this guy fishing in Rudee Inlet today.

Kayak Fishing

I only watched this guy for couple of  minutes, but this was pretty much what he was doing the entire time, and not with just one fish. I think had 3 hookups in about 2 minutes, but as far as I could tell the fish were all undersize Halibut, which were released. Regardless of the outcome of 2 minutes fishing and having to release 3 fish, I am sure there were a few keepers in the boat when he headed home.
