First post, first report, first intro, lots of firsts - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

saltlifedoc · 06-24-2014, 05:00 PM

So I know this is a pretty boring first report/post

But I went out today for a couple hours after being in the field. Launched out of Dana Point harbor, meandered around the docks with no avail.

Paddled out to that first patty, started jigging some green/white paddle tails on a 1oz jig head. No keepers, but caught a dozen or so short bass. Nothing spectacular or even interesting but it's nice to get out for a bit and blow of steam.

Anyways names Damien, just got a new to me Prowler 15. If anyone is ever willing to let me cruise on out with em let me know. I don't have a gps so no worries I won't hijack your spots. Plus I ran charter boats for some time in the keys/SoFlor so I know our spots are sacred when we find them.

Quick intro I guess, south Florida native, worked on commercial/rec fishing vessels since I could walk (well almost) and can make a mean ceviche.

I grew up in Homestead,did a lot of scuba/fishing in the bay and the keys. Welcome to So. Cali.

I fish out of DP a lot, maybe we'll catch up some time.

Welcome Damien!

I fish (or dive) Dana almost every weekend. I typically head north, so if you see a red hobie outback give me a shout and I have no problem you join in the voyage.

I plan to fish Dana this Saturday unless the car gods smile upon me and I get my car back from the body shop (then its LJ), so maybe I'll see you out there.

Right on guys, Dave and Charlie I was planning to go out Saturday as well.

If you find the time shoot me a text or call with details if you don't mind. If you do I'll be out on the water, yellow prowler 15... I wear one of those big goofy straw hats due to me being a baldy. 305-898-3949
