Yeah looks like spring busted in garage and being replaced right now for $$$... Maybe it's a sign from the fishing gods to stay home today!

So how was it out there anything note worthy

momo fish · 02-08-2015, 11:06 PM

Note worthy? Yes.. But I'll let others share the events of today if they feel up to it...

Way to messy to be out today.. And Monday looks the same.. Barely made it back to the beach.

The one that got away

octico · 02-09-2015, 07:59 AM

Weather turned bad in a matter of minutes. We spent too much time making bait when could have been

. After a few green backs and a few Spanish macks we should have gone out, but we didn't.

We hardly had any time to fish, we got out to 170 mark around 9:30 and things were fine until 10:30 when the swell picked up and wind started to blow. Fishing was done at this point. Mo and I slowly scooted along for a couple hours to make it back inside where we chilled and before our surf landing, which turned out to be a piece of cake.

We should not have gone out yesterday, listen to weather reports. Lesson learned, glad everyone made it back safe.

TJones · 02-09-2015, 08:05 AM

Next time

Note worthy? At least you guys weren't the couple of kayakers that needed to be saved by the CG (or were you?). I was out last Tuesday and when the wind picked up it kept blowing me south west. After numerous times of paddling back out and north and drifting again, the wind and current kept getting stronger and was very tiring to paddle against. When finally calling it a day I started heading back the GPS showed the on normal paddling I was almost not moving. When paddling with a lot more effort I was moving 1.4 to 1.7 MPH, normally that would be about 4 to 5 MPH. It took 2 1/2 times longer than normal to paddle in and the wind was maybe only about 16 to 17 MPH. The wind reports for today where crazy and tomorrow after maybe 10 am is almost as bad. I live in the mountains and surprisingly there is almost no wind up here. I'm thinking of maybe hitting Lake Cuyamaca tomorrow instead of LJ.

Whoops , too late .

momo fish · 02-09-2015, 11:28 AM

Yup there was a few people in our group that needed CG rescue.. It took us well over 2 hours of hard peddling in without stopping to make it inside the closure. That's with dodging whitewater coming over the side and front of kayak....

For that kind of conditions I should of just fished Malibu..

Tips... Fish are moving on up.

Lucky somebody was there to rescue you guys...

We saw the conditions starting to turn, and we got the hell out of dodge quick. We got back to the beach just in time to see the lifeguard drop off the first victim.

We were back on the beach a little after 11:30. I was the last one to get a yellow, which was right at 10:10. Everyone in our group got one; George didn't catch anything because he was back at home stealing something.

The weather did get snotty after 10:30, but it didn't seem that bad to me. We saw the CG drop off a Hobie Angler, but it was just one.

19lb YT on bait. At the bottom.
