I have been out fonted
It wasnt Josh fishing for Nessy, it was Sammons, and he did hook up. Sammons got bit on a lightweight spinning rig while drop shotting a whole haggis. It was an epic battle that lasted over 18 hours. While Sammons had a support boat standing by, he never called for help. An exhausted Sammons finally leadered and released Nessy after a few photos to the chagrin of local authorities. Look for it on the next "Game On" video!
Sorry to get off topic. |

Fish at your own risk.
As we all know there are no lifeguards off the point and the wind has been pretty stiff in the afternoons. Fish at your own risk and bring all the safety gear.
I saw a few giant Chupacabra, one packin' a 9mm and threatining guys trying to launch. Not to mention I took a photo of a sea lion with a surface iron hanging out of his mouth. We've all seen a Sea Lion with a surface iron in it's mouth, no big deal. But, this Sea Lion had also been attacked by a Great White Shark. Fresh wounds on it's back wrapping around it's stomach. As the PHD in the movie Jaws said "this was no boating accident"  . I'll admit, I felt sorry for this big mature furbag. It is kinda funny when you think about it, though. Not only are you too dumb to keep from slamming a blue and white Tady 45 with a large shiny treble hook, but you look like a surface iron to the wrong kind too.  Oh Yeah, No Yellowtail in La Jolla!

Got lucky, again!

Somehow I managed to weave my offering through all the giant Bonita and connect to the right kind...three times . On a side note, I would strongly suggest an iron with a single hook right now. The fact of the matter is the 7-10 lb Bonita outnumber the Yellowtail 10 to 1. Ten pound Bonita on the surface-iron is crazy fun, though.

Sorry for the thread-jack Yellowtail slayers...
Quote:
As far as White Sharks in the Pacific Ocean, much like Yellowtail, there's more than one. I feel like I'm on the crime show "48 Hours", where they pile up the leads before the case turns cold. The point I'm getting at, the full grown Knothead I saw with a brand new surface-iron in his lip, complete with new wounds from a White Shark was on Sunday too. I was just about to paddle out for a surf and this dog was trying to beach somewhere, anywhere, clearly in shock! He made a couple weak attempts to hop up the rocks where I was paddling out, but decided to continue to the sandy beach a little further south. Every guy surfing flew out of the lineup at the sight of the injured dog, I had it all to myself for a while. So, this means there's two Sea Lions who managed to escape the jaws of death in La Jolla, recently. I guess the bad news is this large White Shark is still hungry  . And thanks for the casting lesson? Is this the same Billy V in quotes below from a few days ago? Quote:
The only difference between a "casts almost as far as anything else" (7' rod) and a proper jig-stick (9'+): One of them has a fish attached to the iron before it makes it back to the boat  .
