I was fishing Dana Point today and heard a call on the radio from one of the party boats. They found a guy in a skiff with a 5 hp motor who was stranded and had been out there for 2 days. He did not have a radio or a cell phone. He is lucky to be alive. Good idea to be safe.

Obviously, if the dew point,relative humidity and air temp is in a changing mode (consult WX stations) than unstable weather is in the works, in this case fog. Anyone navigating water should have a GPS unit and/or a compass,along with a sounding device,such as a bell or horn on the vessel. Also a good knowledge of drift,current dir.,wind and swell dir. would'nt hurt. Sometimes no one can save you but yourself.....

1st off:

Sorry for the misinformation... I always strive to follow all of the DFG regs including bag limits. Thanks to those of you that PM's me to point it out. What I was attempting to say, obviously not well, was that I have 30+ bugs under my belt for the season not actually "in" the actual freezer, like I stated... Sorry.

Right now I have "actually" 3 in the freezer including my 4#er, and two thawing for another great dinner with fresh YT as a side.

Second:
I am nowhere near as an accomplished fish catching machine as Josh, nor as psycho, I was just trying to share my experiences yesterday / two days ago, with the people that frequent this board and have similar interests in kayak fishing. I thought it might be something enjoyable to pass the time as you guys sat on your asses fishing on your computers.

It is sad that this sports good side has been so decayed by people like Josh and Dave... If I remember right it was you two in the middle of a bunch of crap talking on these boards last year too. We are all different and with different personalities, most of us accept each other that way, and we all tend to attract to those with similar interests, it's a community like any other, but you two think it's all about you. You two are ruining a really neat and cool community where people share their tales, friendships, passions, and even gear with each other. I know some of the pioneers of this sport have voiced their concerns about this as well. You guys are a cancer to this sport.

I feel sorry for you both. Honestly, I really do. Josh because you are just a lying little boy, with a broken little brain...a real waste of great fishing talent... and human flesh for that matter...but not quite all there. Dave because you are a two faced punk, and a coward to boot, (see your PM). You are both invited to my house tonight for dinner. That way you don't have to talk behind my back, you can say it to my face. Not a threat... It is just a way to avoid having to corner you on the beach or water to discuss your problems with me, and it is alot easier than insulting each other on the internet.

Please PM me to RSVP so I know how many tails to thaw, then we can discuss anything you find offensive with me in person. How do you like your veggies cooked?

Man, I wish I had been harsher, then I would get invited for lobster.

"Wait Wait Wait......I just want to be able to say I was "in" on this thread"

So does this mean I have to go get my own lobster again??? It was gonna be way easier if I could just pick it up at your house!!

tight lines to all and smile it is just fishing!!!

Why you mad? You youself said you were worried out there,re-read your post. Your story telling was so dramatic that you,yourself,said your equipment was or has failed and that your brave like skill and limited knowledge of the sea got you back to safety. Than you warn everyone to be careful out there, like its ok for you to be.Well, most guys aren't as brave as you and their common sense tells them no. All your rhetoric sounds very familiar? By the way, how do you really feel about me?

LOL
