Dont they know they make these things called Kayaks? Looks like a wide open market for OEX....

I think "bigbarrels" is a local skisherman:biggrinjester:

^ the x13 can be tippy!:biggrinjester:

Let me make sure that I understand Shishing? You dress up like a seal and head out into the ocean by yourself at night. You float around for hours with 90% of your body submerged in cold water hoping to catch a fish.

Sounds like the perfect way to catch a shark, using yourself as bait. There has to be a better way. Maybe someone should send this guy a photo of a kayak.

:) You've got to try it........it is a blast.......It eliminates the tippy kayak issue.......J-Mo, you own Churchills?

[j mo]

I do in fact own churchils im taking my 90j out with a pool noodle this week.... Those east coasters are onto something:cheers1:

I suppose the launching and landings would be easier. Kind of hard to pearl in just a wetsuit. Maybe that is what they were thinking when they marked those inaccessible kayak launch sites on Sunset Cliffs.

I completely agree. He even does it without a wetsuit. A real man.

I've seen this before. I think it is totally cool. To each his own. For the nay sayer's, don't forget that there are yet some that would say kayaking in the ocean is crazy. I don't think that what these guys are trying to experience is much different.

Thanks for finding this, I recently tried searching for it but I kept typing in "squishing" 'cause I couldn't exactly remember what it was called. :cheers1:

Come to think of it, I remember fishing the kelp off Cardiff once when a kid paddled up on a boogie board. He was wearing a back pack with a rod strapped to it. He proceeded to make his way deep into the kelp and sat semi-submerged on the boogie board over a hole. I did not see him catch any fish but he looked like he knew what he was doing.

Interesting.

His wife said:
"I hope it feeds his soul"

He said:
"I just focus on that moment"


Sounds like Kayakfishing to me...

I will say they must be good at rebuilding their Reels....To think I worry about waves splashing on my rigs...

They dont have to worry about "Iron Butt" or "Monkey Butt"

Not sure if a leash is a good or bad thing!?!?!

They need a heads up Fish Finder! On second thought maybe its better to not know what lurks beneath you!

[lterrero]

Too much love for fishing? special at night:confused:

[Gino]

well you could skisherfish nakid, then youd have all the kelp to yourself. :biggrinjester: brilliant idea! :eek:

[driftwood]

That is one of the most Bizzare fishing i have ever seen!!:afraid:

[Dean Machine]

well you could skisherfish nakid, then youd have all the kelp to yourself. :biggrinjester: brilliant idea! :eek:

Just the thought of doing that gives me nightmares. Too many things could happen.........I won't go there. :eek: :D

[bigbarrels]

it's a two mile off the point type of sport.....first thing you do is buy an X-Factor.......second you put a bait tank in the rear hatch without a timer switch......then add in some swell/wind......make sure you can't reach your sump pump and carry some fins......then grab onto one pole:reel:

Just the thought of doing that gives me nightmares. Too many things could happen.........I won't go there. :eek: :D

Yeah go forbid your out there doing a squid spawn... they might think the wrong way about ur mandhood. but the WSB would be biting though!

[StinkyMatt]

These dudes got some BIG BRASS ONES! More power to them. In California, some nuthead would bring a fish finder with him...:D

[ibbeerbum]

I have people calling me nuts for being out there on a Kayak but, I believe this really is and in the cold to top it off.

[Billy V]

When I was a kid we would wade into the surf chest deep and fish for blue fish on the east coast.

It was a summertime thing, and we would do it at dusk when they would bite.

I don't know if I would float offshore at night though, too many toothy critters out there.

[RedSledTeam]

I'd rather use the spear. But in the case of the Skisherman he does have the catch-and-release option. Looks like a lot of fun. 'Whatever floats your boat'. Or "Whatever floats your whatever!" :rolleyes: :cheers1:
