Team Sewer's Brush with (In)famy
Question: What criticism did angry readers aim my way for publishing this story? http://www.kayakfishmag.com/features/team-sewer/ I get a kick out of Chris Charney's cartoon. |

Damn, that sounds like a rough day. Coming in is almost always tougher than going out. Mention famous surf break and you know it might be trouble. Nothing like seabass to destroy your judgment. Mike

Yeah Paul thanks for getting that story printed in the magazine, that was cool.
I love tell'n that story...I'm still bummed out on losing the rod...that was not fun. Did any angry readers criticize you for printing that story? And your right the cartoon...is hilarious...I like the fish that's laughing at us..!

A few sure did! Not for giving away the spot, or some years-old bite. For this little tidbit:
Author Tony Park readily admits he wouldn’t have swallowed so much seawater if he’d worn his PFD during his crash landing. “Maybe someday I’ll learn my lesson, but not yet,” he says with a laugh. |

I agree I should be wearing my PFD...Im guilty of not wearing one...even now..Of course I wouldn't recommend anybody not wear one of course.
Since you bring it up now, I will start wearing my pfd more often. I should...I have one.

I was one of the ones that didn't make it out that day and to be quite honest with you.........................I'm glad I didn't. I learned later that day that when the team launched earlier that morning the surf was up a bit but was nothing compared to how big it was when they landed; upside down, left side up and right side sideways

Just a bit of poetic license in that story. Breakers on the way out were more like 3 to 5 max (2-3' swell). The swell did build, which was not forecast, during the day and we came in to 5 to 7 or 8 foot breakers (4-5' swells). The landing was right in front of a manned lifeguard station, so the only things likely to be damaged were our gear and/or our pride (I speak collectively of course

Fished that spot/bite many a time... But never in those conditions. You guys are nutty.

Believe me...If we had known the surf was going to be 8ft coming back in..I don't think we would have launched. It was do-able in the morning and absolutely beautiful when we were out there...but when we came in...oh boy it was scary..! And once we had committed to coming in there was no return.
