Hell if we could just have the clean water we get after a few days of north wind that's the only kind of fishing I would do! Surf fishing is so fun. Looks like u were out in kayak too though. Been thinking of getting one so I can make it out to the rock breakers. Anyway good luck to u and take care of that hit. I have a cut from getting rocks in my shoes on my right foot just under my ankle and have been cleaning and babying the hell out of that thing. Spending months in a hospital dying with that flesh eating bacteria is not the way I want to go at all. Got a good warning about it before I even got to the beach then saw the signs and as soon as I get back had a Facebook post of a guy dying with it after getting a tattoo and swimming in the gulf 5 days later. Tight lines!

Yeah, still a risk but not as high down there because the water is moving so much more I guess.
I bay fished with the kayak in the mornings and surf fished afternoon.
It was crazy. When there's no wind it looks like pool water. Could see the bottom 8ft deep. And watching the fish come hit my lure was awesome!
Planning some trips to big lake now that I've got my fishing boat rebuilt.
