Ocean Kayak Fishing the Lobster Traps

We launched at grey to catch a limit of Ocean Whitefish & (4) California Sheephead. Back on the sand by noon. Plan A was abandoned when we could not make live bait. Plan B was to locate structure using lobster trap buoys and then meter them for fish. I took about five tries before we found the gold buoy but when we did it was non-stop. Upon landing I realized I’d threw my wheels up on the memorial site of a kayak fisherman who had just recently died there in the surf. This fishing report is dedicated to him.
