Bee invation! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

driftwood · 03-31-2011, 08:44 PM

I got invated by a swarm of bees while fishing today in La Jolla. Got stung 7 times on the face and arms. There was so many bees on my head... i was dripping bees. I looked like a bee keeper!

I'm doing tequila shots right now to num the pain

But, just looking at the 45Lb reward i got today makes me forget about the pain (tequila shots helps)

Hot day today summer time hot!! Current was ripping lots of bait out there.

I was just thinking about the April Fools report that I was going to post after going out tomorrow. I was going to be really creative.

Did Driftwood beat me to it or have the fish finally shown up? Give us some pictures Gabe.

Stay tuned.

Well done Gabe! I hope that I stumble on that spot tomorrow. If I don't maybe I will have to come up with something entertaining to excuse my failure.

I just hope the bees leave me alone. I will have beer on board as and anesthetic, however. Anyone else planning on being out there on Friday?

I am going to do a couple tequila shots for you......here we go!

Do you mean "stings" instead of bites? Ok someone had to point that out.

Tman · 03-31-2011, 09:49 PM

Almendrado - very smooth, sipping tequila. Best to have a couple bottles on hand, the first one can disappear mighty quickly.

Then there is this guy...

FARRIER · 03-31-2011, 09:54 PM

Tman thats some good taste there. not many know the greatness that is triple destelado coralejo!

ODOGFISH · 03-31-2011, 10:18 PM

... damn nice pescado ... sucks about the bees tho ... so how far offshore were you when the bees hit

sharonkayak · 04-02-2011, 07:40 AM

glad your day had a happy ending!

I have a yellow yak as well and sometimes bees will come and try and hang out on it. kind of scary what happened to you. I might of been in the water.

roby · 04-02-2011, 09:15 AM

Bees suck....wsb good.

THE DARKHORSE · 04-03-2011, 01:53 AM

A couple of Bee stings qualifies as a character building experience. Add in a nice fish, some sipping-tea to celebrate/self medicate and it could be worse, right?

Just imagine the thirty guys driving down from O.C. getting skunked today; they'd trade you in a heartbeat!
