So close yet so far 7/22
Finally gave up and headed for the barn but not before flipping my outback for the first time in the surf. Ponto was firing and I mistimed the set got picked up by a 4-5 footer. Tried to get back to grab the yak and drag it but it was too late. I got picked up and the bow got pitch poled into the ground and went ass over tea kettle in front of a thousand people on the beach. Lifeguards came charging out to help. Long story short, nothing caught but a good dose of shame but I was glad to at least have a chance. |

Nice read!
Great story, too bad there wasn't a big fish at the end of it, but I guess that's why they call it fishing instead of catching. Better luck next time. I'm still waiting for my first outback dump, but so far I've been lucky.

Sounds like one hell of a nice try Shane. It seems like several people have found them but haven't had the luck of landing one yet. I hope there are some near LJ on Monday when I'm going. So far that looked like one of the days the wind will be the lowest. Last week it just started blowing after 9:30 and got like a washing machine, it's only a pain if you are trying to cover some ground. On the way out or coming back it makes for a slow ride, just can't make the speed when it's all messed up. I also got caught by one of those large in-between wave that just keeps building and then picks you up so high it's too late to brace and in trying, you just fall into the water as you put the weight onto the paddle. At least nothing lost or broken, just the pride hurt. Just feel stupid for falling off and getting wet right in front of all the people on the beach in 4' of water.

OUCH!, Great effort on the outside and time on the water.
I hope Oceanside will have some better luck tomorrow.

Great effort, Ponto is to be respected at all times. At least you made it out 4 miles and back safe! Maybe August is when the near shore tuna get loose.

Nice try. An alternative launch is always worthwhile.
Fog in Dana was a B today. Well the fog and all the boats. One or the other is tolerable but not both. Kept us closer than we planned. Made it to about 3mi and the fog closed in. We waited it out and dodged ghost boats in the fog for 45min and a sucker hole opened up. Press on for a half hour w good terns n dolphin then the hole closed and we lost vis again and aborted. Wind from the S to about 10 all morning. Real mixed seas. Tons of macks inshore tons of anchovy off. Scored a couple broomhandle cuders in the light green inshore to beat the skunk. Lived to try again.
