Yeah, And Monkey's Will Fly Out of My Butt - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Jim Sammons LJKF · 11-26-2007, 11:01 AM

Sounds like a great trip, and a lot of paddling.
For reference this photo is the wing tips of Mantas, or other Rays

Pinto is looking much better than in October, he looked like he had been scalped, we had to cut a huge flap of dead skin off his head.

The wan-o-war you can grab with your finger tips, just try to avoid the tentacles. I usually just grab the bubble and pull them out of the boat. IF you do get a tentacle on you you can also grab that with your fingertips, they don't seem to sting through the thicker skin on your fingers.

Can't wait to get back down there in 2008, I'll be there in May July and October again.

Thanks Jim and everyone, especially Greggo.

I just got an email from a friend saying the same thing about the finning mantas. Cool.

Nice job on the yaks down there. Only thing I would suggest is having 2 flushmounts per yak. I prefer to troll on my R due to limited ROM from a shoulder problem, but the flushmount was on the L. I had my seat with the holders with me but they're not near robust enough for tight drags.

I will be adding extra rod holders to the boats on my next trip. I hate to see them sitting on the beach like that. The white one is actually mine.

Excellent report, great pics!!!! no need to worry about the monkeys

Jim I actually felt bad too, cookin in the baja sun unused like that. I knew you'd shed a tear over the white one.

The place was so empty. I bet no more than 10 people at any one time. Me and Pinto hung.

You are a true Loco Pescadore fishing baja "solo" from a kayak.
