James city county day trip.

Today I had off and was looking forward to hitting the beach. I 've been having some car problems latley so I decided to stick closer to home and not drive out to Surry. The last few trips , I have been going to the York river or my side of the James. Today I hit the James from the James city side. The weather was stormy and the water was rough which made for a tough kayak ride but at least it wasn't hot. When I got to the beach the tide was going out. I walked for about two hours finding only a few small teeth here and there. On the way back I would kayak a while and then get out and walk a bit. Good thing I stoped on the way back because that is when I got the keeper a two inch mako in near perfect condition. That is the thing that keeps me hunting, you never know what your going to find and your only another step away from the big one.
