Gotta Try The Surf Launch Next

Not exactly geared to So Cal fishing style other than some fresh water applications and the back bays, but sight fishing in skinny water would be a kick with this. Not a new idea......except for a kayak.

Definately fishing for the Reds in Texas or the trout in Florida. This is the ticket.

Something for everybody!

Iceman · 08-01-2008, 10:18 AM

Pretty simple, just need someone to prove the effectiveness and the fun factor.......I am more than willing to run down to Mag Bay........or Costa Rica

How about a video camera and one afternoon in La Jolla?

I see tons of fish (Yellowtail) that others just paddle on top of and through. It's funny and sad at the same time. Usually, people paddle over the fish to come over and say "hello". Contrary to popular belief, I don't have "eagle eyes," I just pay attention. Being up on my knees is a huge advantage (being able to see fish or not), and I'm able to see fish others can't. With that much height advantage it would be ridiculously easy to see Yellowtail, ridiculous.

My only question : Is the platform stable enough for typical ocean conditions, without someone in the seat?

And to recap Josh sees a lot of fish...

I see that as the ideal fishing platform for the Darkhorse Kayak Fishing Guide Service. The client has to paddle out to the fishing grounds as Josh stands on the tower, scanning for fish. Just like on those fishing shows from the Gulf Coast; Josh would be up in the tower spotting fish and dispensing precious bits of fishing knowledge. And if the client farms a fish, Josh could teabag him.

Am I the only one who had to google "teabagging"? I learned more than I wanted to know. lol

Ditto! I guess I'm old and out of the "know".

I wish I could have gone through life without knowing about such things. Unfortunately, I joined the Navy and learned many things of which I would gladly have remained ignorant. I've witnessed some unspeakable acts perpetrated on the coffee cups of unsuspecting sailors.

I wish I could say that teabagging is the worst thing that I ever witnessed.......it's not. N

BTW: Never relieve the watch late and then make the mistake of leaving your white hat unattended.
