I spent 12 hours on the water in LJ on a skiff the Sat. and did find some clean water off the surf park south kelp with bass and barries under the birds. I did not see one sport boat as they must be getting their leagal barries and Yellowtail sprinkled in off IB as they are no where to be seen today as well.

The Barries we caught off Tourmoline were pencils but we did get a couple 3 or 4lb. Calis. I chased brids schools until after sunset and casted iron till my arms were tried for no Yellow Love. I then tied to the kelp and soaked Macs for no WSB love but kept awake casting Dines intot he kelp to play with the Calis. Called it a night around 8:30 pm and made it to the Barefoot Bar before the kitchen's last call.

Any on the water reports from IB ??

Tight Lines, Kurtfish

If the red tide scares away the bait and surface fish it would seem to me that the bottom fish might be hungrier than normal. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Maybe it is time to try to catch that big halibut. Of course, you would still need to find some bait.

A quick pic, hook removal and successful release.
The rest of the fish have left town - for now.

I sure hope you were able to get this guy back to the bottom. I watched another angler leave an 80#+ GBSB flapping on the surface for the gulls to peck at. Hopefully you are more enlightened than that moron.

deepdvr · 06-10-2010, 02:19 PM

Usually when someone mentions a 'successful release', its not referring to just getting the hook out of the BSB's mouth.

dorado50 · 06-10-2010, 02:40 PM

Don't really think you need to worry about Billy.... I'm just wondering why the 80# BSB was not rescued by yourself or another????

Great way to start things off on the right foot. Welcome to to forums and very informative first post.

Question is, what did YOU do to help the "BSB flapping on the surface" that you watched. I hope you lectured/showed those angles as to the proper way to release the BSB that I assume you took the time to send back down properly.

Are you kidding!?!? He said there were insane, vicious, rabid gulls there! They'll peck your eye out kid. Its why i can't catch fish...I actually run away from the birds. NO bsb is worth that shit. Right move on letting the thing float away and die slowly. Good of you to call someone out on your first post too...

welcome to the forum...its all in jest and is more the result of me being pissed b/c I had to work today and couldn't fish.

No tomato soup out there...more like hawaiian punch...the red kind, not the green.

And I had heard that kayak fishermen were a friendly bunch. Sheesh. For your edification, I was not challenging the integrity of your buddy, I was merely chiming in on a subject that I have a bit of knowledge, and first hand experience with. For your group enlightenment, and BS meter debunking, the link to the GBSB rescue, performed by me, and three of my fishing buddies, is posted here on YouTube.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIfKhW2nlo0

You will see and hear that I not only took the time to help the fish, but in the beginning of the video, you can hear me explaining to the guy who caught the fish, what we are about to do. I have two descender rigs in my tackle bag, just for this purpose. I've personally witnessed careless, and wasteful anglers dumping bloated fish overboard, only to be killed by birds, boats, or seals. A simple device, and a little bit of effort can get these fish back into the breeding schools they came from.

You will also see that the video of the floundering fish is virtually identical to the photo in the posting. Call it post traumatic stress disorder, or a knee jerk reaction on my part, but when I see an endangered fish prostrate on the ocean, it gets my dander up.

You guys are real ambassadors of the sport...

Your First post left me a little confused. your introduction was concern for the BSB.

Your conclusion.... "I watched another angler leave an 80#+ GBSB flapping on the surface for the gulls to peck at. Hopefully you are more enlightened than that moron"

Your post had a very sad ending with a small touch of insults...leaving us to guess that you watched the fish die a very slow death. No kayak fisherman would ever do that! And thats why i called it BS.

Your 2nd post Made your principals ideas emphasized. Thank you for clearing things up. Good job on the release...

Yikes! Sorry the mob jumped on ya a little prematurely Joe. I'd say for the most part everyone on the board here is friendly, except when the fishing is slow. Throw a little red tide into the mix for a couple days after they enjoyed a couple months of phenomenal fishing, and they might be a little grumpy. Welcome
