My Tip of the Day:
If you're facing shore and Tony's free eye gets big (the other eye is in his camera), look over your shoulder because there's a big arse wave about to hit you...he won't warn you, he's just trying to get THE shot with one of his twelve cameras...so he can show the world!!!

In his defense, Tony will grab your paddle and seat cushion on their 14th wash up the beach. And go film the next guy while you are saving his yak from being dragged back out to sea.

eeeshhhhhhh!!!!! no bueno.....hard to watch perfectly good gear get tossed. hope it wasn't too bad, did he get his Gopro back?

And this speaks to the repeatedly overlooked major need for San Diego to step up and pay to build a kayak angler only dock with greenie bait barge and beer bar that extends past the reserve line and has one of those flat escalators like at the airport to get our gear out there!

We need to rally at City Hall!!!!!!!

WHERE ARE WE FISHING THIS WEEKEND?

[FISH11]

Watching that video was one second laughing and than thinking OH NO bad for the gear. George got stuck is the rip tide and turned sideways right where it's almost more sand than water. Greg's misfortune was not seeing the wave in time to grab the side handle, OUCH. Tony you made it. My wife wants to go camping at San O, but I've never taken my kayak there and it looks like you have to keep an eye out more and stay in the surf zone a little longer than at La Jolla, to pick the calmer spots. Than you have to dismount fast and pull the kayak up the sand out of the beach breakers. Rough landings but how was the fishing. Another great video Tony. Mark

Well done Tony.. Are you boys heading out Sunday ? Have Jada soccer game Saturday so won't be able to get out.

Awesome video! I'm going to go watch it again

This is the best idea I have heard yet! Then scardy cats like me can fish LJ!

By the way, that video, you guys are INSANE!

I'll never understand why you guys don't land with peddles. It's 100 times easier. I've flipped my old outback one time at 230 in the morning in the middle of lobster season. Never dumped the pa. I always just waited for the last wave of the set and followed it in. 99.99999 percent success rate.

Exactly!!

This is my preferred way of landing - with the mirage drive in. I haven't had a %100 success rate though. Pedalling-in become difficult when there is a shore break, for example at San O or Esco in Malibu. Or it becomes difficult when you have fish on your deck and it's not effective to pedal.

When was the last time you tried that somewhere where there is a shore break?

[ful-rac]

Why would you video a 99.99999 percent success rate anyways? Everybody wants to see a crash right?! I know I do! Even if its me! Makes good video!

[wiredantz]

Those crashes look painful in two ways:


#1 the physical pain


#2 the monetary pain

I've launched my PA and outback at windansea and marine street. notorious shore dumpers. in my opinion, i like shore breaks because:

a. they're easier to judge. size. timing. direction
b. they sit in deep water all the way until the last ten feet, thus giving your mirage drive extra room
c. you can be closer to shore to wait out the sets
d. the surge forward will often assist you in the crucial landing while you jump out
e. they don't roll all the way in like the beach breaks

i don't even launch at shores anymore, the only reason i traded in my hobie was because I'm lazy and like to paddle straight through the kelp to the fishing grounds.


that being said, I'm 99.99999999 (eh fugg it, 100%) entertained by all of your launchings and landings. sweet video as always boys
