Signs of life... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Lack of imagination or just experience?

Who has removed all the other related comments on the site hummmm. somethings fishy here!

Might I add that I am a fellow Kayak Fisherman and have been for about 5 plus years now. Chasing the “Ghost” as you romantics put it, is really not what everyone here is about? Its about fishing…ego’s are the thing that get hurt here. >>

Personally, I prefer to see Dads out there with there family having a great time fishing. At least you can believe the smiles on the kid’s faces. I know my two girls do! And I will teach my newest Yakker the same. She will be here on Thursday. >>

Anyway…I will refrain from adding my two cents, and will recede into the background of the web, wiping my sweaty brow, reaching for a glass of water, which will cool my hot and heavy breathing, after my deep and seemingly endless dive down into the labyrinth of giant kelp, to release this magnificent creature so she may return as the ghost we all dream about….>>

About me:
I'm a Fisherman, Artist, Sculptor, Inventor, Small Boat builder, Kayaker, Kayak designer and builder, Intellectual/Dyslexic. I read, I write, I build things, I listen to strange music...but I also love the Sea. I'm a mixture of traditional simple vices, and new ideas. When I'm not in my building something (creating), I'm somewhere out on the Ocean.

"Mans relation to the Ocean is as old as civilization. Some go to churches, some look for spiritual guidance from guru's or Gods, I go out on the ocean. For me there is something spiritual about being on the water, and I do not think I am alone in this. I've fished since I was a child, and being out on the water gives me more of a sense of scale, beauty and oneness to the greater picture, then I could ever get from a crowded building or "sacred" text.
We are living in changing times where man will have to redefine his relationship with his environment. Huge gas guzzling boats and the rampant overfishing of past generations, is now unsustainable. If we want to enjoy the Ocean for generations to come, we have to become stewards as much users, in our interactions with it, and find new ways to do what we do without damaging the resources we love. In that spirit I tend to push the limits of small craft fishing, and kayaking: trying new ideas, new more economical and eco-friendly ways fishing, and simply being on the water.

All the images and media on my page are my own: pictures of my kayaks, my boats, the fish I have caught and trips I have taken. I would prefer that no-one use them without my permission. You can find what I'm up to including my latest fish reports here on my blog. "

I think that the Intellectual/Dyslexic speaks well of you!

I hold my ground on all my comments!

My last post was a real attempt to lets everyone know that I have backed off... so ( I will be nice)

Oooops... I guess this is all due to a reading comprehension problem.

I'm not sure why you think my personal page has anything to do with this discussion..... but if your going to quote from it without permission you might as well at least post a link...

I usually do not get involved in these discussions but I will put in my 2 cents. Josh has always been friendly with me eventhough I am not a La Jolla local. He was aware that my son broke his hand playing baseball and he ask me about my son the last couple of times that I saw him on the water. I find him friendly and helpful and last time that I saw him he even pointed me toward the fish. Eventhough I did not catch a large white sea bass, thanks Josh for your help.

I still think you should publish your stories Josh.
You have a gifted talent for describing your incredible gift of fishing.
I'd put your books on my coffee table.

When did this forum turn unfriendly.

Jim's kayak is beautiful. A lot of love and hard work went into building her. I would probably drown using a sit-inside like that one but it is certainly a work of art. The builder should be very proud.

Wow... I was wondering why this thread was going on so long.
When I first came to this site, Josh helped me a ton... multiple times. IMHO a great guy. Keep it up Darkness, I love the stories!

JPSURF · 04-22-2009, 06:20 PM

You know it is funny i go to different sites and love to read posts. But when i see a post with multiple pages there always seems to be one name involved.

And it isn't you Josh. I enjoy reading your reports and envy the fish you catch. I only hope to catch a trophy one of these days and hopefully it will be Friday

keep the posts coming.

Personally, if one were to really read Josh's posts and savor every word you would find that in most of his reports he reveals at LEAST one or more hints as to how he catches these fish! I learn something from every one of his posts. WAKE UP AND SMELL THE FISH!!! Learn by reading....so Josh don't stop cause you are making me a better fisherman,thanks.....
