Yak buggin with the gang 1-19-09 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Went down after work for a little yak hoopin with the gang. I arrived at SI and Maggie (nunyabusiness) was already there setting up. I rigged my gear and waited for Jim (Spyder) and Nick (Masta). They showed after Maggie had already hit the water. I was ready to go so I hit the water and Jim and Nick were close behind me.

I met up with Maggie on the water and set hoops for the first pull. Had a cigar and waited for the wingman and his kid to arrive. They arrived and set their hoops and I went to my first pull. Man the net was heavy. Pulled up a net with seven bugs in it and a couple of big ass crabs. I gave the crabs to Jim. Things were looking good. Only one was a keeper and the rest went back. Well at least they were crawling. The next net had 5 bugs with one keeper. The next two had three shorts each.

I reset the nets and started back on the stoagie. Jim, Nick and Maggie started to pull there nets and we were pulling a lot of shorts. Shorts were the name of the game last night. I managed three keepers and a boat load of "clickers". Threw back probably 20 shorts during the nite along with a spider crab and two rockfish. It was a beautiful night out with very little boat traffic and CALM water. A couple of big swells did come through during the night and made it fun.

No wind at all. The stoagie was easy to light last night.

On the paddle in around 10:30 we made one last set. Ran into another yak Bd'er on the water and said hello for a while. That set was one keeper for Nick and a few shorts for Maggie. We hit the beach around 11;30 and called it a night.

Another cruddy night in San Diego that's for sure. Thanks gang for the company last night. Had fun hoopin with you all.
