I visited sunset about a week ago, what a beautiful spot. When we last fished the area about a week ago we spotted a few porpoise and two whales near Sunset Bay. Hope to get the chance to fish the area again when the winds calm and the ocean is a bit more tame.

that said, I strongly recomment that people take very seriously going out of Sunset Bay in any small boat, once you leave the slightly larger outer bay it is the real deal, lots of good sized powerboats buzzing around, large whales, and there are lots of submerged rocks and reefs. being prepared to me means dressing for immersion, having practiced self recovery, being leashed to your boat, having a radio attached to your PFD and know what the sweels and wind are predicted to do (a strong offshore wind, in addition to fighting you coming in, makes the swells much steeper..a double wammy) ...cheers, roger

Of course after saying that it is fun to watch some of those most adventurist kayakers who ride the big waves over rock piles that soon become jagged killers. Amazing just how much we can get away with in the interest of "one more thrill".
