Josh Pruitt Seminar - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

jorluivil · 04-23-2011, 04:17 PM

Who was there?

For those of you that missed it I would strongly suggest that you do everything possible to get to his next seminar. Obviously, Josh DID NOT give away any secret spots but I can assure you that I walked away with a wealth of knowledge and information. Josh covered just about everything that one needs to know to become a safer and better fisherman regardless of where you're fishing. I thought I had all my bases covered until I started to hear him speak, by the end of the seminar I realized that I was still on bench refilling the water bottles....the whole time I thought I was at the batters box. Now, I need to take a step back and look at all of my gear, my tactics and understand that how much time I spend on the water is not just a part of fishing but the key to success.

Josh, can't thank you enough for the seminar!

I hope to make it to his next seminar, I couldn't make the one today due to health issues( that won't let me drive), It's a drive from Canyon Country to down south. anyway I bet it had a wealth of fishing information.....H

As Josh likes to say X2!

One hour quickly stretched into two as the man thoughtfully answered every question thrown at him. It was definitely a "you should have been there" kind of event.

Thanks to Ron, Debbie and the rest of the hosts for putting on a first rate event.

THAT EVENT SUCKED!

NO GPS COORDINATES, HE DIDN'T GIVE OUT THE SECRET WSB CALL THAT BRINGS THEM OUT OF THE KELP AND RIGHT ONTO YOUR BOAT AND NO 50lber's FOR US TO HOLD AND TAKE FISH OF A LIFETIME PICTURES WITH!

good seminar Josh, enjoyed it a lot and learned some new info to apply to the WCW hunt. Most importantly though, I learned that if you can't cast a

100+ yards, then you have no shot at yellowtail!

time to practice...

quite the fan club you have. I did see someone video taping the event, look for the dvd to be out soon

Agreed that it was an AWESOME seminar from Mr. Fishie himself. The wealth of knowledge that this young man (yes Josh is younger than me) has is just amazing. As mentioned above he did cover a wide area of fishing "La Jolla" from safety, knots, safety, types of rods he suggests to use and many other things.

I was the one with the video in the back and I burned through one battery and half of another. I believe the total time for Josh speaking was close to 1-½ hours with a short 15 minute break after the first hour.

For those of you that will be looking for the video, well it wil cost you!

Anyways after talking with Josh about the video and with great respect for him, I will not post it on any forums or other sites ( yes I will be

). I have agreed to send it to him, so if he wishes to post it you might look there. Sorry but as I said, great respect for him and his business I believe that all of you would do the same.

Real good info from Josh! Found myself jotting down some notes and picking up a "life saver - saver" (pelican box) that was really expressed as a must have. My only issue is the buddy system, would like/want one when out to play in the big Jewel (safety first

). Unfortunately I'm categorized as those who can only venture out 2-3 times a month even though I'm a Local! I would like to put some of Mr. Pruitt's insights into practice! (hint-hint

)

Thanks Josh

you have expressed that public speaking is not your thing but i would have to say you did a great job and looked comfortable giving out useful information and answering questions.

you got me motivated to get a some safety items i should have had a long time ago but been putting it off.

sharonkayak · 04-23-2011, 11:10 PM

Good seminar, I learned some good tips. hopefully put them to use tmrw.

was sad I had to leave at intermission, I was hoping to get his autograph!

sharonkayak · 04-24-2011, 01:29 PM

Funny thing happened today, so lets say I must of not been listening to the safety part of the lecture, so I went out this morning solo.

and I saw a whale a good ways away, thought it must be a grey going north. so I kept on with my trolling along the kelp, next thing you know this blue whale, I kid you not comes up maybe 50 ft alongside my yak. It was like a submarine coming to the surface, I have never put my lifejacket on so fast. Anybody within half a mile probably heard me freaking out! It came up once more facing me and dove down. I decided that was quits for me for the day!

Definately learned keeping a life jacket on or in easy reach is important!
