Bellcon Sub - June

[bellcon]

I did my 12th, 13th and 14th trip of 2010 to La Jolla last week.
The 12th and 13th trips ended with a 100lb+ BSB and various other
"not the right kind"

The 14th was a little better...
4pm-3am, it's a looooong story, lost paddle leash, sonar malfunctions, lost gaff and then watching my paddle float away around midnight:eek:,... more than enough to make a sane man call it a day...But

It all ended well, turns out after the first fish that I don't need no stinking gaff and Tevas work well as a paddle in an emergency
:D.

Thought I beat my personal best, it was longer but lighter by a couple pounds.
But I'm not complaining :D

Seeya this weekend

Oh and Josh, new rule, I will call when I get off the freeway :doh:

Man I love kayak fishing (catching is fun too;))
