Out fishin my man - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Shark Girl · 04-13-2008, 04:23 PM

I meant out fishing WITH my man. Went fishing out of Dana Point today, offshore winds at sunrise settled down and got warm fast. Nice guy at the bait barge but a crappy scoop of 80/20 chovies and dines. My husband fishes a lot but hardly ever brings home any fish. Today's only excitement for me was this big BENDO

It was obvious that it was a shark and took some time to tire for an easy release. Thankfully a local fisherman named Dave P. took pity on us and we will be eating halibut tonight.

Maybe next time my partner will catch something to warrant taking his piclol

NIce job.

Sounds like you were aided by Dave Pliska. He is a halibut fisherman of reknown in the DP waters (and possibly elsewhere as well).

You and your man should have a rematch, in La Jolla

Great bendo shots!

First post and a front page!

Welcome to BWE.

I believe that the California halibut have the David P. character ranked high on their most dangerous enemy list.

SHARK BAIT · 04-16-2008, 11:04 AM

cool, what kind of shark was that?

Iceman · 04-16-2008, 12:03 PM

It was a leapard........about 30-40 pounder. I was a little nervous as she took off backwardslol She made short work of it, but a lot of "It's too heavy!"

I could swear the lady looked familiar...
