2/18 LJ - YT - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

DONIGAN · 02-18-2008, 05:04 PM

Going into my 7th year kayak fishing and I feel like a visitor. The 5 day grind has been all to familiar the last 3 years. BUT - since i work for a bank there are plenty of monday holidays

. Launched at 6am, jigged for sqd and filled up in 15 minutes. Set up on the inside around Valencia and had a strong current from 6-8 and then shut off. 7:15 first bite w/ dropper loop dragging over the bait location. 7:45 next bite and fishing completely shuts down around 8. If you caught fish today, you had sqd. Good to be back, hope to see the old crew on the water soon!

I was so dang tired from my first trip out(yesterday) on my new yak, I didnt even hear my alarm this morning.Its supposed to rain all week this week.

steamroll · 02-18-2008, 05:24 PM

YT are so last month, I chose to fight a much more formidable opponent this morninglol

esdees · 02-18-2008, 06:28 PM

Good job guys. Nate, that's not the kind of bass you lip! I keep my hands clear of their mouths because I've seen how quick and hard they can chomp down.

Hey Jimmy, I'm really sorry about what happened today! Send me a message and I'll e-mail you the pics.

Nice BSB looks around 75-100. Was it a long sleigh ride.??

Awsome fish.

He doesn't need thumbs to peddle

. Nice fish. Figures, the only weekend that I may have a chance of getting out and the possability of rain

Are the squid back in force? Nice job on the yellers

Aaron&Julie · 02-19-2008, 01:53 PM

Congratulationsm, Donigan on some nice yellows.
Thanks for not holding back for days on giving us your report.

Jimi · 02-19-2008, 02:49 PM

Dont worry about it, in 8 years on the kayak that is the worst that has ever happened. We just cut it out with a razor knife and went and got a tetnis shot at urgent care. Wanted to say thanks to everyone that helped me out. I know it seemed a little crowded but after being all over last year I realize how special a place La Jolla is and what a great group of guys who fish here. If you get a chance to post the pictures I would like to see them Thanks Jimi

Two of the three hooks from my 6x jr

And he's STILL SMILING!

That's the fish he was fighting when we crossed paths. Jimi, you're a tougher man than me, that's for sure. Again, I'm very sorry.

Nice yellow. Bummer about your hand. It looks like you were wearing snowboots in your yak Jimi.

Dennis · 02-20-2008, 10:41 AM

OH SH#@! I heard about the treble mishap yesterday. Bummer, but glad to hear that everything turned out okay. Is that Dan in the back ground? He's looks stoked with that yellow...
