Kayakers--BE ON ALERT - Page 2 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

That is one of the problems with commercial fishermen. However you came to be in "their spot", you are fishing in "their spot". And spot means anything within however far they say. Radio the authorities in channel 16 because that is assault with a potentially deadly weapon. Best to do it when you can point out the guy and have other witnesses.

He hates kayak fishing guides but isn't he also a guide or does charters on his boat ???

He is in his own little click of friends (code group) and thinks he is the shit. I see he was featured on Michael Fowlkes Inside Sportfishing a few times so his head is swollen.

Suffers from small dick syndrome...

Sounds to me like this guy needs a talking to regardless of the timing. I would report it now. Maybe the coasties or police can set him right before he hurts someone. Also taking video of him will probably stop him dead in his tracks if he's smart enough to realise how easily he could end up on the news as the goon of la jolla. I think he may have thrown a wake or two my way before but not dangerously close. He's definitely on my radar now and I will be on the lookout.

Just saw him yesterday on Inside Sport Fishing (two episodes, no less). He says color doesn't matter it's the action you give the jig that counts, but, hey, it's, you know, too complicated to go into on the show, so go spend a couple days with (hire) him and he'll explain all the secrets to you.

PS: fwiw, the ones he used on the show looked a lot like this

though I didn't take note of the exact colors...

Like others have said.. Just be careful, this is his livelihood and guys can act certain ways under stress and do dumb things.. Not condoning it but also will not tolerate it either if it was me... Legacy and past achievements means nothing if your harassing anyone on the water..

Since his name has been mentioned already, here is a picture of him with one of my favorite deck mate and now captain.. He is on the far right.

Photograph the boat, get the hull numbers and while on the water call the police, and or life guards.

A few years ago I was fishing in the Open Bay Bass tourney and a boater was racing back and forth in front of me at about 15' of distance trying to get me to leave the spot I was on. I pulled out my camera and started videoing what he was doing. As soon as he saw me with my camera out and pointed at him he left. They are liable for any damage their boat causes, including if the wake causes damage.

I guess the slow bite but bigger fish are creating a sense of pressure at La Jolla! A lot of perspective comes from where you are; especially if you appear to be on fish.

Saturday was crazy for me in that PBs were all around coming to speak with me, blasting by at close range, etc... None were threatening but I'm sure they don't all appreciate the kayak perspective. The water surface around me was nothing but wake for hours. Just snag bottom or kelp or whatever and the bent rod is like the Pied Piper to fellow anglers.......or rats!
