LJ Saturday 1/9 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Quilted Germ · 01-20-2010, 09:56 AM

Took the kids and my brother in law out a couple of weekends ago in search of some grey whales. Conditions were perfect. Didn't see any whales but was able to put the little man on some "big" fish.

Here's my daughter and brother in law chasing down the many dolphin in the area.

Meanwhile, my 3 year old Morgan's itching to pull on some fish with Calstar's Lightning McQueen jig stick spooled with 20 feet of 40# test (that's all it could hold). Actually, it's factory spooled....

Dude, so stoked for you. The last couple of years and the next 10 or so will be the best of your life. Make as many of those moments as you can and drink it all in. That is what its all about in the end.

Hook up! Kid looks amped!

On a side note...there may not be a squid run this year so don't get too excited boys.

Warmer water means less squid recruitment usually... el nino

We should organize a Kids and Dad's Day Tourney! Dad's paddle and kids fish!

Some time around Fathers Day

Maybe Newport BB or Hunington Harbor.
