6/05 AM - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

steamroll · 06-05-2007, 10:24 AM

Launched around 4:20 to small short interval surf, took one good one to the chest

Bait was thick..everywhere. I picked up a mix of jumbo greenies and medium spanish along the kelp edge.

Nervous water all around. Big schools of HUGE spanish mackeral being pushed up by log cuda.

Gonna try the PM shift tonight

cudafest '07. Thanks for the terminal tackle Matt - didn't plan on losing 3 setups before the sun rose to those scooters.

Same situation for me, no joy off the water by 8:30am.

1 Note:
I was sitting on the water, not trolling saw the Dolphin coming from the west, last year it went behind me and sawed off my trawling lines.
So since there wasn't any reason for me to get in its way I stayed put, the f king jerkoff comes right for me and misses me by 15 yards and the captain of the boat has his head out the bridge window laughing at me as he goes by. I didn't do anything to provoke him and after he passed I didn't make any obscene jestures. I was a little more than pissed off!

Same senario as last nite, but Josh did catch a nice yellow.maybe its about time he gets reported to the coast guard and port authority

madscientist · 06-05-2007, 10:58 AM

I thought the Dolphin had stopped doing that crap but I guess not. I wrote a letter to the CG a while back after one such incident.

To hell with the coast guard, let's get a group of 40 and get on the boat. We could have some serious fun!!! lol

"clean up in the galley"
"clean up in the galley"
"please refrain from puking in the galley"
"clean up in the galley"
"clean up in the galley"
"DO NOT PUKE IN THE BAIT TANK"

Just kidding

Matt · 06-05-2007, 11:29 AM

I am always game to puke on a boat!! I even know just the place to get food poisoning!!!

Dan good seeing you and happy to hand you some hooks, right after I did that I got sawed off by the cuda fest!! Got 2 baits stolen and was also buzzed by Ricardo cabeza a.k.a Jason (at least that is the name people have told me) of the dolphin, put a call into the coast guard but I doubt it will do much. Nice meeting you John!

Dont go screwing with the Crew. Those guys work hard for little money as it is without somebody making their life harder thinking that itll hurt the captian. Trust me IT WONT, Jason is known as Ol' Dock 'n Dash, He doesnt clean the boat, his crew does. They are a great couple of guys, why make their life harder for no reason?

And Firing a jig at the boat will get you nowhere, Except maybe in trouble. Its not going to damage the boat, its alluminum.

While there is no reason for these guys to get close, Remember guys, The speed thing is because these boats IDLE at 7knts or so and the move a lot of water, which means that even at idle speed they make substantial wake.

Tim ran the boat today not Jason so if you go reporting stuff know who was running the boat.

Jason is running the Boat tommorow and i will be fishing it in the PM, If he gets too close you can be sure ill say something.

ratdog · 06-05-2007, 11:29 AM

I called the lifeguard station, they said if the boat comes within 100ft I can file a citizens arrest, but I would have to ID the person driving the boat. I couldn't tell you who was actually driving. Next I called Islandia Sportfishing and they told me the owner of the boat was the captain this morning and he would never do anything like that. They told me his name was something like Tim Volklander but I could of got the name wrong. They would pass along my concern. Gee thanks!
Matt pleasure meeting you, I didn't want to drag you in, but Matt saw everything as close as I did.

dos ballenas · 06-05-2007, 11:31 AM

yep, nada for us... the new seaforth has been pulling that crap this year also... saw a nice little tail on the beack at 1030... I may actually be joining the plastic armada in the near future

... time to put the tin can away and get some exercise

tylerdurden · 06-05-2007, 11:43 AM

Dolphin did the same thing to me on Saturday. I was away from the pack drifting, not trolling and he headed right for me. I understand when kayakers pin them in somewhere they need to get out, but this was for no reason. I was close enough to hear the deckhands and passengers laughing as their wake hit me

.

We also need to stay away from their chumlines. Some kayakers and pbers still fish and troll right through the sporties chumlines which doesn't make things anybetter, of course it doesn't help when they anchor up right next to you.

tptrench · 06-05-2007, 11:49 AM

Contact Ken Franke of the harbor police. I reported asshole Jason a couple of years ago for similar incidents and he had to cut bait for awhile. I had the New Seaforth come way to close yesterday. Those guys have no respect for us. Ken owns the Outer Limits out of Seaforth. He contacted Voaklander and that helped for awhile. What can we do? I'm really sick of what's happening out there!!!!
