Sunday I finally found my

Dinner tonight kicked some serious ass.

Tis a good feeling isn't it? Yesterday I was doing the "happy paddle" as ken calls it....

Ken owns love to fish LJ license plate.

Tyler, awesome run, congrats!

That first big silver one with the pink apple in it's throat - what kind of fish is it and is it good to eat?

lol

I think it's safe to assueme La Jolla, iron and morning (in that order)...

Surfdad · 02-19-2007, 08:36 AM

Toad white.

Great job!

Great fish Tyler. I was getting grumpy as the fleet showed up and parked all around me, especially as the bendo's started. Finally got hammered on the iron and as I got a few cranks into it, the bait rod starts singing....DOUBLE HOOKUP!

They ran in opposite directions so I didn't get towed, just stuck in the middle watching line peel off of both reels. Stayed with the iron fish and slowly worked him in, periodically reeling in any slack on the bait rod still behind me. Dropped my gaff somewhere along the line but Ken was nice enough to paddle over and throw it back. Got the first fish stuck and went to work on the bait fish. He was still frisky even after the long dead sticked fight but it wasn't long before he found the gaff as well. I guessimate 18 and 22. Couple other OEX friends doubled up as well.

Fished Sunday but it was much slower. Saw a couple fish landed but the combined plastic and pber fleet didn't do very well. Nasty wind kicked up early and spoiled the day.

Iceman · 02-19-2007, 08:56 AM

I had to work Saturday, after the "rumors" of WSB and multiple YT for most I had to abort my fresh water large mouth bass mission planned for Sunday

Glad I did. 7AM among the fleet, I had only seen one pber go bendo and my deadstick 6xjr went BENDO in the rod holder.

27+

Thanks for the pic Martin, I would have loved to see Clay get one of these

It has to be the new lucky hat

Nice weekend of fishing guys.

esdees · 02-19-2007, 10:07 AM

I'm glad it finally busted open, great catches guys. I got a couple peanut sized yellows and a video of a turtle. Not a bad weekend. Too bad the weather didn't agree with the holiday today.

Come on, guys... We all know that LJ holds some big fish, but why all the secrecy. Catching a hard pulling yellow, or limp WSB is something a lot of us think about especially at an uncrowded La Jolla. But, don't post BS here. I hate to sound like an ass... But, how many people do you actually see launching/fishing LJ in the winter months when the bite is slow, or minimal... not a lot. We fish La Jolla regardless. But, when the bite is hot everyone is out just because they read somewhere that the same 1-5 guys who plug away out there caught a yellowtail... Then, everyone is saying that the fishing sucks. BS! I'm kind question posting now. Congrat's to all who caught, and don't think I'm mad because I wasn't out there... Because, I still got yt in the freezer.
This is a kayakfishing site.. This is where you get a lot of information about fishing out there... This is where you should be sharing information with your fellow yakers, and not holding back.. Last.
Peace,
Dennis

la jolla is not yours brad...everyone shares numbers with their friends so don't kid yourself by thinking everyone wants to fish by the almighty "kill everything he catches/fish 7 rods at a time" scientist...

Jax Yak · 02-19-2007, 10:25 AM

Great weekend Guys! Thanks to all who posted their catch.
I agree with Dennis that the BS sucks.

I can't even find my reply, anymore. I like to post, because it's a report for my fellow kayakers about fishing conditions etc... Not for fame, or to say "Look what I got". Make it a private forum... Nah, I just won't post anymore. It's been fun.

Whatever Ryan, jealousy doesn't become you.

The thing that bothers me is when guys use me or the other "regulars" as a reference. I was well off the "spot", just preparing to move back up, when a pair of guys pull up on either side, 50 ft away. I never slide in on anyone other than a friend. There is a certain buffer zone that I think most of us use and respect and it's annoying when someone gets closer than that for no reason. In fact, it's better for all if we spread out and find them, rather than stacking up on one spot.
