A FEBRUARY TO REMEMBER.... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Very nice read...and nice pics, though I wish you would've left them out of the story...

I was debating on whether I should let the lad have a 'sick' day from school and give him his chance for his first WSB, alas, I phooked up and we both missed the bite.
And now I am kicking myself for not partaking...

We will be there next go round.

Congrats to all who got their personal bests

Josh,

Thanks for a great post! A very enjoyable read...just the thing to get my mind off work! Big congrats on the multiple awesome catches!

I would like to thank each and everyone of you for all the comments and support. It's a strange feeling with a target on your back, but there's pro's and con's to every situation. The best part of this month for me had nothing to do with my own success. It was watching all the "over-due" people in my book come out on top. Of coarse, I was pleased with a jack-pot contender in my lap, but that didn't compare to the feeling of seeing Paul (amsurferoceanbeach) pull that big-ghost over the side. I generally prefer to pursue my trophies without a soul in sight, but it would be a challenge to find a better group of guys to share a "wide-open bite" with. In reference to the "fish-report" I would fall under the "competitor" category. As much as I would love to see everyone beat their personal best, I don't feel the need to motivate the Madscientist with a hundred-point deficit and two weeks left in the month to fish.

p.s. Gary, in my short time on earth I've learned that there is no "best" as there is always someone better than you.

Wow, this is weird, someone I know in real life (non fishing related) contacting me via post as opposed to giving me a call. I never would of thought about it this way, but I guess these forums are good for something (this is as close as I will ever get to a "my-space" account). J.P., formerly known as a fisherman. It really sucks that you don't have a kayak anymore, but as soon as I get a kayak sponsorship I will put you on some fish. As I have done many times in the past.
