Drive to LJ from LA/Ventura area

[momo fish]

Looks like 5-7 footers local to me so may be hitting LJ Saturday.

Anyone interested in carpooling to cut some cost and then enjoy singing duets in the car after catching some yellows on the long drive back...

Plan to be at launch by 6:30-7:00 and be off water before dark...

I didn't know you were a singer momo! Is your partner busy this weekend?

[momo fish]

Hell yeah !! Taylor Swift all the way!!

My fishing partner got a little to cozy and tried to become my "partner"... 😳

[booger]

I can't go Saturday but would like to fish LJ someday if you are still interested in a car pool? I'll pay for fuel and lunch if you show me around LJ. I'd like to get a big one sometime soon.

Do not worry momo fish, I don't want to get cozy or be your partner either! If we fish together, you don't have to change your name to homofish either.lol :o (hopefully you see the humor)

[momo fish]

Sunday, be there or be square

[h2ofishfo]

[cell128]

Definitely Sunday!
I'm in Lakewood if anyone wanna carpool or drive along

[momo fish]

Yeah looks like spring busted in garage and being replaced right now for $$$... Maybe it's a sign from the fishing gods to stay home today!

[momo fish]

I did.. But I have a wife who gives me a dirty look if I leave to go fishing when something is broken.. I envy you single guys sometimes 😏

I feel your pain brotha, same here. I'm doing a bunch of chores today so my wife doesn't give me shit while I'm fishing tomorrow.

Happy wife=happy life! ;)

[FISH11]

Getting dirty looks and having shit said to you is just part of being married whether it's your fault or not! So just go fishing because you will hear it one way or another. I agree with you momo fish I also envy single guys most of the time, unless they have clingy girlfriends then it's just as bad as being married.

[octico]

Definitely Sunday!

I will join Sunday I am in Orange what kind of rack or car do you have? Can it fit an Outback? I will pay for gas an lunch. Being able to ride the carpool really makes a difference coming home.

Being single is not always everything it's cracked up to be. There's more drama when you're dating!
Whenever I start to date a woman she knows going in that I fish first, last and always (and I pray she does too!). If she doesn't accept or get it after seeing ALL my fishing gear :confused: then she's never going to get it and I explain it to her and send her on her way!
It's the way I keep my Zen "balanced" but I do/have compromised and know how to prioritize properly (e.g. Birthdays, anniversaries, and other "special occasions"). :)
It is nice though, not having those pesky "Honey Do" lists and knowing I have no one to answer to except myself. :D
There was/is some solace in knowing I can suddenly schedule an extended weekend trip to central CA or further (i.e. Oregon, Washington) for salmon/steelhead, Delta strippers or shad or any other sudden short notice week long trip to Montana, Idaho or Wyoming etc. without consulting (which is usually where things go bad).
I was actually "dumped" once for "suddenly" announcing a previously scheduled Bonefish/Tarpon tournament I was participating in the Bahama's (although I swear I remember announcing :rolleyes: "calendaring" the dates).
Of course all of this was before my back injury. :mad:
Now once I'm better I won't need "permission" to attend a Baja or Bust" or Islander Mothership trip!:D

Today was an interesting day ...

[yak-fishing-socal]

So how was it out there anything note worthy

[momo fish]

Note worthy? Yes.. But I'll let others share the events of today if they feel up to it...

Way to messy to be out today.. And Monday looks the same.. Barely made it back to the beach.

You forgot to add kids: family vacations, overtime work to pay for vacation and money on the side 4 fishing trips. Then you add religious services then you use what ever time you have to go fish and other hobbies. NExt thing you know the year is over!


Then you have make choices, 2 hr drive down for a chance at YT, or 6 ft surf at the bu to catch yellowtail.

choices choices.

[TJones]

The one that got away :linesnap:

[octico]

Weather turned bad in a matter of minutes. We spent too much time making bait when could have been :reel:. After a few green backs and a few Spanish macks we should have gone out, but we didn't.

We hardly had any time to fish, we got out to 170 mark around 9:30 and things were fine until 10:30 when the swell picked up and wind started to blow. Fishing was done at this point. Mo and I slowly scooted along for a couple hours to make it back inside where we chilled and before our surf landing, which turned out to be a piece of cake.

We should not have gone out yesterday, listen to weather reports. Lesson learned, glad everyone made it back safe.

[TJones]

Next time

[FISH11]

Note worthy? At least you guys weren't the couple of kayakers that needed to be saved by the CG (or were you?). I was out last Tuesday and when the wind picked up it kept blowing me south west. After numerous times of paddling back out and north and drifting again, the wind and current kept getting stronger and was very tiring to paddle against. When finally calling it a day I started heading back the GPS showed the on normal paddling I was almost not moving. When paddling with a lot more effort I was moving 1.4 to 1.7 MPH, normally that would be about 4 to 5 MPH. It took 2 1/2 times longer than normal to paddle in and the wind was maybe only about 16 to 17 MPH. The wind reports for today where crazy and tomorrow after maybe 10 am is almost as bad. I live in the mountains and surprisingly there is almost no wind up here. I'm thinking of maybe hitting Lake Cuyamaca tomorrow instead of LJ.

[momo fish]

Yup there was a few people in our group that needed CG rescue.. It took us well over 2 hours of hard peddling in without stopping to make it inside the closure. That's with dodging whitewater coming over the side and front of kayak....

For that kind of conditions I should of just fished Malibu..

Tips... Fish are moving on up.

Lucky somebody was there to rescue you guys...:eek:

We saw the conditions starting to turn, and we got the hell out of dodge quick. We got back to the beach just in time to see the lifeguard drop off the first victim.

[Silbaugh4liberty]

Shit, I was too damn far out, took me three hours to paddle back! Decided to head back around 1015, I made it back around 1315-1330 or so. Shitty day, only fished for about an hour or so. The wind was doable, the swells got insane though. It was like 20 ft walls of water coming at you!

[Silbaugh4liberty]

Some dude at the launch was like, "saw this guy get picked up by the lobster boat with a hobie outback, what's up with that", I just laughed was like, "I know". Then he said he had an x factor like mine before his outback and that they're a bitch to paddle. No wonder why it took me an hour longer than the outbacks!

Crazy day.

If anybody asks, I was just out there to work on the guns!!

Being sore today just means I got a great work out! ;)

[wiredantz]

I knew I should of brought my sail

You're right those swells/waves were ridiculously big. They looked like 10 foots swells :eek:, probably smaller, they just look bigger at water level.

I took a picture of you

Dude, my legs are burning today. The current was strong, I would stop pedaling and speed was 3.2knots (backwards) and 1.2knots moving forward.

Where I was at they were like 20ft, once you got straight out from the launch, they were smaller for sure.

[momo fish]

I would peg them closer to middle at 15 from watching the beach and the boats near us completely disappear. The area around the corner by seal beach had the biggest due to bouncing off the walls...

Not fun watching white water break almost the length of your kayak...

[ful-rac]

I think we were back on the beach about 11 or so.

Kicked off the water early in La Jolla due to weather and/or conditions two trips in a row! Join the club:(

Whoops , too late .

[momo fish]

Weird I was at launch before dark and didn't see you... Going to start calling you ninja tony!

This was Sunday?

I think we were back on the beach about 11 or so.

[roby]

I think we were back on the beach about 11 or so.

We were back on the beach a little after 11:30. I was the last one to get a yellow, which was right at 10:10. Everyone in our group got one; George didn't catch anything because he was back at home stealing something.

The weather did get snotty after 10:30, but it didn't seem that bad to me. We saw the CG drop off a Hobie Angler, but it was just one.

19lb YT on bait. At the bottom.

Damn, lucky bastard

[roby]

Damn, lucky bastard

I fish with Tony and Greg...

[Silbaugh4liberty]

We just got out there too damn late. I think everyone was ahead of us

[momo fish]

Ah ok.. Then they must of been busy cause our guy was on an outback that was picked up by a lobster boat before coast guard was called after we got separated...

Good job getting a fish Roby!! Early morning saw some good marks on the way to fishing ground and near kelp but was focused on getting to the zone. Should of just dropped and fish in hindsight..

[octico]

I think we were back on the beach about 11 or so.

Nice to be back early, what time did you launch?

[ful-rac]

Sometime around 6 or before six...it was definitely in the dark.

[wiredantz]

Alright team Roby you going down. See u at the tournament

[cell128]

I was one of the victims. I got carried away drifted out way too far south. Coming back making slow progress got real ugly. Good thing I just got a new vhf. Was going to use it last resort if I flipped but that lobster boat rolled up on me and offered a free ride....sweet. Went around looking for a few other guys but couldn't find them. One of them also got dragged in by a jet ski. Lesson learned. Respect weather reports and try to stay close to your group...

Dude, I saw you guys. I was thinking, wtf is that guy doing, can't collect traps now. The swells were so nuts, that most of the buoys to the lobster pots were submerged.

[jorluivil]

OK boys.......who is going to be the first to post this weeks 'I ALMOST DIED!!!' story? Come-on, someone has to have a story to tell!!

We leave those posts for the sewer guys, lol jk. The only time I almost died was in Iraq! Just had an, "oh shit, this kinda sucks moment", as I'm trying to unload gallons of water from the yak. While trying to avoid the swells that were breaking near seal beach around that bend.

Gotta look at the bright side, got my exercise for the WEEK!;)

We shall have our revenge La Jolla!

Might be in a month though, called Raymarine yesterday and now they're projecting end of February when they ship the new 4 and 5 to the stores.
