La Jolla Wednesday 9/30 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Hey Chris,

Another nice fish. You are rapidly becoming one of the guys to shadow when out on the water in LJ. I look forward to going out with you again when I return from my sabbatical.

If you see Leo again, please pass on my commendation for his unselfish act that probably saved that swimmer's life. Lifeguards are like Firefighters and folks who have served in the Military. You never fully retire from those occupations. After spending a bunch of my youth in that profession, even at my ripe age, I still watch the water for folks who might be in trouble. It is encouraging that others are helping out as well.

After my recent successes, the "Guru" suggested to me that I get back on the water as soon as possible before the ocean cools and all the fishing techniques we used during the Summer suddenly stop working. Sadly, I will not be able to dip a line again for nearly a month. The good news is that while I will not be able to go fishing, I will be gaining my winter fat while cruising the Mediterranean for a couple weeks. I wonder if they will let me troll off the fan tail?

When I return, I am certain that, along with the seasons, the fishing techniques required to be successful will have changed. Learn what you can Chris and if you feel generous, pass a few tips on to me. I will bring the beer.

Bob

Nice fish. They seem to be in that weight class lately. Short, stout, strong fish. Gotta love the spectra. Congrats on another nice fish.

Out the gate and running, Chris. Well done! I hope these fish boost your confidence enough for the months to come.

And 18.6 lbs? I've been looking for an optimistic scale, but I'll keep using the one I've got

.

Oh yeah, the way to break the 20 lb barrier is to let those size fish go and keep fishing. Especially if you've already located the fish.
