Please be careful kayak fishing in 25 mph Santa Ana conditions.
Anyone who knows me will tell you I'm all about "safety first" , and I would like to simply remind people to be very careful whenever the possibility of Santa Ana conditions present themselves. Fishing off a man powered piece of plastic is all fun and games until 30 mph offshore winds make you the top story on the evening news. Try to be aware of changing weather conditions, check your marine radio often, and more than anything stay alert. Above all else, make sure to take every precaution whenever you decide to make a long cast with a piece of iron attached. YOU MIGHT GET PULLED OFF THE KAYAK! Even though my friends on the "fish list" can't comprehend catch and release (you let it go ), it was nice watching Yellowtail number two swim off to fight another day.

As usual, well done. You are the man!
Safety first, Santa Ana winds and kayaks don't mix well when things go wrong. |

I couldn’t agree with you more about the safety.
If the wind is blowing I go to the harbor and even then I stay in the more protected areas. I fish like I dive. Don’t forget to let someone know where you are going and when you plan to return. And always have a buddy. With a site like this a buddy is always easy to come by. Thanks for your posts Josh. You are an inspiration. Be safe all. Paul.

Nice job Josh! So F'n consistent it's amazing!
When I catch a big fish-- it's luck! (And half the time when I hook a big one-- ) With you-- it's skills, know-how, and local knowledge! I wish you the best of success with your guide business-- I'm sure 2009 will be tremendous for you! You bring some unique qualities to the table that entice newbies and 'veterans' alike! -Jason |

Josh, you make it look easy! but reality says different. Its not easy and YT just don't fall into your lap. If your a person passionate about fishing but just can't quite get that bigger model and want to shorten the learning cure I would seriously seriously consider using Josh's guide service I'm sure in one day you will learn what normally takes two or three years.Well worth the bucks....

Nice fish Josh.
-You need to start "tagging" some of those yellows you release. A small plastic tag that reads " Josh Was Here" |

Good information is priceless....
I have full intentions of having my company logo at the top right hand corner of the BWE website soon, but until then no . In answer to your question though, some say my rates are much cheaper than the price of gas .
