Return to San Luis - part 3 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

What a good group of old codgers...err...dudes. For Wally and Sven to reach that island two days in row...

Lots of quantity with the quality fish breaking my arse off in ten seconds or less... That's what I love about trying out/fishing new areas...you just never know. I had a small yellow grabbed by a bigger fish right at the yak off Punta Bufeo. Not much I could do about it...that was w 100# braid and 60# flouro...lol.

You guys are the best and I hope to jump on more of Roberto's trips in the future. I'm pretty sure you guys will be there!

Man that is some ugly seas! Glad you guys avoided that. I have wanted to do that paddle over...........with the hordes of flies.........maybe not

MAN those are some "NASTY" seas

! Sure glad you guys didn't get caught out there when it got that bad.

Has anyone tried Sawyer's Permetherin spray

(the same stuff used on "Bug-Off" clothing)? I treat all my fishing clothing [that aren't already treated (Ex-Officio)] for ticks, HUGE mosquito swarms and no-see-um flies in AK, MT, FL and the Sierra's. I also use it to "refresh" the repellency of the clothing already treated (like the original Buff headwear and Tilley hats or other fishing hats) and the treatment lasts for 20+ washings (according to the manufacturer) or a couple seasons (in my experience).
I buy the 24oz. spray bottle available from Campmor (in case anyone is interested).

Andy you are welcome to stay with us or just launch/land on our beach. It is not usually this bad, saw it like this 4 times last year. Saw many more awesome days. Like the old timers say, you pays your nickle and...............
