11/11/10 LJ Report

[krmaxima]

In the water by730 a lot of bait in the water but no luck for me. Whoever was there in the morning congrats on the big big fish. Didnt catch your name but if you here post that pic.

[Jzo]

Thx for the report.

[-scallywag-]

:confused:

Thanks for the report but, reporting other people catch? Have some class...

I'm sure they are capable of posting their own report if they so desired.

Do you really want to loose your first trophy to an anchor line?

Now go catch your OWN!!!!!

[Aaron&Julie]

It kind of would be nice to see an actual photo of a fish caught recently from La Jolla. They've been kind of non-existent lately.

[krmaxima]

people have been pming me and I dont really understand why people would be sooo fucken pissed. just reporting what I saw but my bads I guess its forbidden!!! wont happen again. Also I was being very general with the report. WOW.

[krmaxima]

on a side note to whoever it was thanks for sharing some info!!!

[blackcloud9]

Yeah there are squid boats out here tonight at LJ, and outside PB pier.

Looked like there were still some spearos in the kelp yesterday, and they
don't shoot calicos. So I more than assume there are still plenty of WSB
around if you are into that.

Personally, yesterday I battled N winds, whitecaps, and 6' seas for quite a
few hours and I couldn't even get the rockfish to bite. Loaded up on
macks for some bug bait. You guys with all the secrets :) can have it to
yourselves. Please. This has been a sucky year, huh?

Landed at Big Rock during an 8+' rinse-cycle set for some adrenaline
dessert on a very very slow windy rough day.

Thanks for the report krmaxima, I appreciate it.

[ericko]

Scallywag,GET OFF YOUR HIGH HORSE !!!!!!

We all no that there are no fish in LA JOLLA ,thats what many of u post
i will never no cause im happy with the little fish i catch north of u....I dont get it, what did he do to upset u so much?


I dont no why but your comment upset me!

[dsafety]

Larry & Krmaxima,

Thank you for the reports. Most of us really appreciate hearing what is going on... or not.

To those who choose not to chime in, that is up to you and I respect your right to stay silent. Slamming someone who has not taken the blood oath of secrecy however, is just wrong.

[eekamouse463]

IM goin to tell you something " I GOT SKUNKED FOR THE LAST 3-4 WEEKS!!!! even when the candy man was here still no :wsb: no:yt:

[krmaxima]

Also the big big fish was a Bonito hahaha cant we all just share some info!!! Anyways I hope to see more decent fishing reports here on this site. And Thanks too all who understood.

OUCH!!!!

[StinkyMatt]

Scallywag, I can't believe how rude it was of you to make the post about his report. The dude did nothing wrong except share his excitement about fishing. He saw another person with a nice catch and was paying him props!

Dude, that is sooo junior high.

I think some of you are taking scallywags comment way out of context.
All he saying... Its not cool to post someone else's booty. That always been one of those unwritten rules. I really don't see what the big deal is with Scallywag's Honest comment.

I say post your own fish Dope. thats always been more honorable and fun.

x2

and in the case that you do bust a nice fish.... suggested protocol is to wait about a week or two or when the bites dies off, then post it. If you had any idea of how many OTKF (other than kayak fisherman) are reading this board, you'd be shocked. Nothing will shut down a bite faster than a "look what I caught today and I saw 5 others guys get one too". Next thing ya know, every private boater and their friend are in LJ.

this is not new info.... its been posted on this site in the past

My suggestion would be to build rapport with a hand full of other guys from this site and share info back and forth.

[blackcloud9]

If a bite's "on" and nobody is fishing it .... did it happen?

The kayaks at the point outnumbered the boats by only 3 today, for those keeping score. :rolleyes:

Its just hilarious, kayakers keeping it "quiet" from private boaters, private boaters keeping it
quiet from kayakers, commercial guys keeping it quiet from private boaters and kayakers. I still
do not know if anything is even happening as far as a bite. The only thing tipping me off is that you
guys are getting all crazy. Jesus, what is all the fuss about?

[Nic D]

The kayaks at the point outnumbered the boats by only 3 today, for those keeping score. :rolleyes:

like I said.... go tell a friend :rolleyes:

[blackcloud9]

kr, just so you know, "following the protocol" means quietly emailing a list
of your kayak buddies and really f'ing up the Point. So, snap out of it.

And how dare you attempt to encroach on THEIR party by making a wildly
general observation "congrats on the big big fish", which I would've
otherwise thought was a BSB or a halibut until scallywag and others spilled
the beans with emotional rants. Plus, there is no way that we want OUR
fish swimming under OTHER PEOPLES kayaks. No way.

Ever seen grown adults act like jr. high kids? Just add :wsb:.
Or :lobster:

[krmaxima]

LOL!!!

I didn't say anything that hasn't been already said several times on here before.

[DESTROYER]

:bigear:...Who's got the Popcorn?

You could say I've been around the block a few time on the kayak boards.

This isn't the first and it sure won't be the last time this happens.

Smile and Fish.:)

Today there was 15 kayakers out and 10 PBers on the point and I will tell you that it was not WFO. LJ is the same way it is every year, big fish for those lucky enough to get out and actually catch them. I didn't catch shit today.

This is the year of the squid. There is squid from Mexico all the way up to Point Conception this year. Salty Dawgs who have been fishing for decades have never seen this much squid. I've been out to LJ 3x recently and all I've caught is squid and mackeral.

FYI- LJ is at the end of a Rainbow and there is always a bite and there is always fish if your in the right spot at the right time. Anytime you have a trench next to kelp=Fish.

There are some unwritten Rules. If you want to live by them, great! If you don't, that's up to you.:D

Rule 1: First thing about LJ, don't talk about LJ

Rule 2: Never post someone else's catch or picture unless they ask you to.

Rule 3: See Rule 1

Hope this helps! Tight Lines

Moyer:cheers1:

[blackcloud9]

Like I said ...

This BWE board used to be useful, and Jim's board before that, and Allen's
Yakfishing board before that - all the way back to about 1998, when I got
my first Scupper Pro and started fishing the La Jolla kelp and sharing
information with other kayakers.

We have always "talked about LJ", so I am not sure where that rule #1
came from, the LJ Guide book?

I didn't realize I plagarized the Jr High thing from StinkyMatt's post, but
man, we are on the same page. High five to whoever you are. (and I know
all of these other guys, mostly)

Through no fault of the BWE team, I'm sure most will agree, this "reports"
board has become essentially worthless. No reponse necessary.

[DESTROYER]

Larry- The Rules were a JOKE!:biggrinjester:

I've always shared and still get shit from my friends for doing so.

[lamb]

Guys thanks for the report.

Larry, I wouldn't say these boards are no longer useful. There is still plenty of good info circling around, especially for the new folks. When it comes to fishing reports, I miss "good ol' times" where part of the thrill was to post your trip the same day, to inspire someone going out the next day. And, off course, brag... :cheers1:

Scally has a point - someone else story is just that, their story. It's always been like that.

What I think is silly is when people try to imply what's the "proper" way when it comes to sharing your fishing report. That's a highly personal thing IMHO - share if you wish, just don't do it if you feel like that... To be patrolling "Kayak Fishing Reports" public forums so you can tell other people when and how to share their fishing report... just doesn't make sense to me.

Here's more of the same discussion on this same side-tracked subject from a few years back
http://www.bigwatersedge.com/bwevb/showthread.php?t=2932

Pretty sure the timely reports stopped about when I moved:the_finger:..........we used to call in "fresh off the horn" reports back in the good old days. :sifone:
I still hate chasing yesterdays fish, much rather stumble on my own!

[DESTROYER]

Amen Adi!

You guys have to give reports because Adi can't fish for a month or do the 5 finger knucke shuffle:D


Here is the evolution of a Kayak Fisherman:

Man gets tired of kayak click and other kayak fisherman
Man buys power boat

Speaking from experience I can't tell you how true this is. When I was a private boater it was amazing to see how quick the word got out that the 'bite' was on. I was never really one to follow the crowds, I usually did my own thing away from all the hoopla. I'd hit my secret spot, post my catch on Bloodydecks and move on. There was days when I would pull out the binoculars and see the hoards of boats a miles away, all the while there was no more than a hand full of boats within a three mile radius of my secret spots.

I think this thread got blown out proportion because of the approach that some of you took........imo. Anyway, it's probably time to move on to bigger and better things. After all, this is a fishing forum not the Jerry Springer show.

[lamb]

Cmon Matt, you've been on these boars too long, like me! :D At least I got an excuse, I kind of work here. :D You forget that you read someone else's post years ago, and you slide it in years later as your own! :D
It was Todd's brilliant post you are improvizing on - I had to dig it out and repost it:

[BigBalsa]

Paddled out at LJ today into 9'+ sets. Had to dig really hard but eventually made it out past the breakers, only to get caught in that nasty southerly rip. Once the wind picked up it was nearly impossible to stay anywhere near 'the spot'. Bait was also super scarce - caught just one anemic spanish after nearly two hours of jigging.

Manged to tie up to some big bull kelp before the tide came up, and lined out my lone mack. Thought I hooked something big but turns out I just snagged bottom with my lone bait. Broke it off at the swivel and tried to ty on a jig, but with the swell picking up and the wind chop, I started to get really seasick. On the way in, a huge rouge roller dumped me before I could lash everything down, and I lost two rods and my new bait setup.

I am glad I made it in ok without getting hit by lightning or run over, and avoided getting washed over the rocks. Buty I am now on my 7th straight skunk at LJ. Winter fishing here sure sucks.

BTW - I did'nt see anyone else doing any better in those rough conditions.

[blackcloud9]

Todd forgot that one.

The Faker
La Jolla conditions were horrible and nobody caught anything. And kayak fishing is not fun. Move along.


Classic old posts Adi thanks for digging them up. Memories.

[Matt]

F'ing speed bumps!!!!:biggrinjester:

[dorado50]

Hi Matt....are you going to post up your really big fish today or are you going to wait till the bites over?:p thanks for the stuff...:you_rock:

[DESTROYER]

I remember that one Adi, but I wasn't trying to copy it. It's threads like this one that burned Todd out on kayak fishing and put him into hiding. He is right, fishing is supposed to be for fun.

I remember getting OTW reports back in the day. No one fished in the winter except Andy, Jim, and Lifeguard Guy. No one wore waders except Quiet Man, and he got shit for it because people said it was dangerous.

We are all being judged everyday by outsiders looking in. I personally am going to say what I want to say and do what I want to do.

I get excited when I catch big fish and because my family doesn't really understand the thrill of paddling out at O'Dark:30 and catching a big fish, it's nice to post a picture and get props from the fishing crowd.

Last Statement:

I don't think what krmaxima said was so bad. Big deal, he's excited about the sport and that's Rad.

A lot of LJ maybe closed down very soon and we might be looking at these old reports in the archives telling are kids how it used to be.
Relax, breathe, and have fun. Life is too short to be a hater.:cheers1:

I must be broken because I went the other way on this. For years my dad and I owned boats, as you know BOAT mean
Bust
Out
Another
Thousand
I couldn't afford the constant repairs and such so I donated my old boat to Father Joe. Then I spent a few years researching Kayak fishing and finally made the leap. Tore my bicep tendon on my first trip out had surgery and 8 months later I'm back at it. This sport and community of fisherman, Boaters and Kayakers, is too important for us to all bash each other for posting a report.
Yes, I agree one should post only their reports unless otherwise authorized to do so. Does that make Scally a bad fisherman? No.
You name the fish board, BD, SD, or whatever and you will always find those who want to preserve a fishery so they tell you not to speak of an area of fishing for fear that it will be over fished. I believe that we all love to catch fish, and we all know there are newbies out there that would also love to catch fish. When you see a newbie land their first big fish, hands shaking from the rush, and the smile on their face, man that's what it's all about. I'll catch my first big fish from the Yak someday and you know I'll be posting a report.

Let's all just get out and catch some fish. :jig:

Save your furious anger for the thresher sharks! Some of the more experienced kayakers hold themselves to a strict code of conduct with regards to posting, which in reality means we all will have a better chance at big fish if you just get out there regularly. Don't hate on scurvy old scallywag just cuz he puts in the real legwork and gets more fish than you... I'm sure we'd all be out in LJ 4-5 days a week if we could :biggrinjester:

You forgot on the evolution of a yak fisherman. Most get started after reading posts on a yak board. It's all Iceman's fault. I remember reading his next day reports 6 years ago and thinking "I gotta do that". Iceman ruined the sport for everyone.

Way to go Andy....................

























That was sarcasim if any of the panty wearers are thinking I'm attacking Iceman.


Amazing........I pretty much quit posting about 7 months ago because of this whiney BS. I log back in months later and it might as well be the same post. :stupid:

[StinkyMatt]

Sherm, and other "used to post it" guys. Please don't feel that a few, vocal, voices characterize the make up and position of the entire board. Many( possibly most) guys on here still have not lost the youthful excitement that comes from :

1 catching fish
2 seeing your friend kick some ass on the water
3 knowing that you helped a guy get on the fish
4 bragging (I mean sharing) about your catch.


Please fish, post if you like.

Gotta get ready for my Calico breeder, trasher pup, black seabass trip this weekend. :D

This is exactly why I never bother to post a fish report EVER even when I do catch a fish...just like surfing...people think they own the ocean and have a right to self regulate it and create imaginary rules or laws.

As long as long as you are respectful and not an "a" hole then I think you should be able to do whatever you want as long as it is within the "real life" laws.

I guess mentioning that you saw "a guy" catch "a fish" is against the unwritten rules. I will have to try to remember that.

sheesh... I have a totally different view of these boards now... o well

You have never posted your own fish report? Like many, I have posted quite a bit. And I have never seen anyone be presecuted for that.

I personally, would love to see your fish report. I think its safe to say, that many in this forum would love to read your report and give you props. Try it, I think you'll like it.

But make sure its your own, not someone else's. :cheers1:

Not exactly bro.................back in April I posted my PB yellowtail on this board. I posted three days after i caught it and it was a good three weeks into the bite. The next thing you now guys with 19 posts and shit were giving me a hard time about posting. I was being blamed for private boats....yaks.....spearos being out fishing. It's kinda crazy.


Oh ya.....I got two big WSB back in June..................is that waiting long enough to post ;)

one last thing..........ive been out to LJ a lot...not as much as some more than others and odly enough, my best day ever was with 200 of my closest friends... a good split between PB'rs and yakers but we did outnumber them......there were sphincters out there and luckily i was right next to one of them when i pulled up about 50 yards away from him (about as far away as you could get from anyone) and set up my 1'st, 2n'd, 3rd and 4th drift and slammed a yellow or bruiser BSB (safely released) every freakin time....it was the best thing on this planet.... i was just being friendly asking what all the baloons were about making conversation with a fellow angler even though he was a pb'r and he started cussing up a storm about all these other people gettin in on his space and how he's been there all nigh with nothing to show for it. What sweet redemption to just get slammed right in front of him!!!!

baloons.....ha....guess he didn't know the squid were on the bottom along with every other fish in the sea slurpin them up.....good times.....

One thing that pissed me off though was that i saw him get whacked with a 5 min fight only to see it was a bat ray so his dumb ass took his anger out on the poor thing and shanked the thing about fifty times before dropping him back in davies locker...wht a prick!!

all i know is i consider all you yakers out there my comrades when im there, happy to share and greatfull for info...there's enough fish out there trust me, even on the busy days.

I see your point sherm. But, my point is more general. Many have posted their own fish report when the fishing was slow. Even if you post/report just once a year thats good. ( your own)

Now, as far as posting durring a hot bite, Well, that all depends if you like fishing with a small crowd or a very large crowd. too many different opinions regarding that.
And how long should you wait to report after a hot bite? Not sure about that one.:confused: Like Bush once said... "you can't be all things to all one" Has it been a hot bite lately? Well, I don't know work has been keeping me away from fishing.

I guess the only way to find out is "go fish." soon. And if its wide open balls out fishing I'll send you a P.M. Sherm. But thats just me. :cheers1:
I don't own the whole ocean just as small part of la Jolla in front of the condo - soooo stay away you PB's! :biggrinjester:

Did not know saying you saw a guy catch a fish constitutes as posting a fish report for him....?

I get the point though so i am done with this convo. I will continue to do what I usually do, use these boards to exchange occasional information about fishing, and leave the reports up to guys like the Darkhorse.

Cheers

I post what I can, but I'll also say I have got shit in the past for posting reports, especially about La Jolla, probably for good reason.

My only saltwater report in a good while was the SBI report and I got away with that because it's essentially harmless. No-one could get thier panties in a wad, or claim that that report ruined a bite or lead to overfishing. I post freshwater no fish reports cuz... well... I mean who cares :sifone:

Bottom line: there's things you can post and things you can't, and it takes time to figure it out...

I do not post real time La Jolla reports, lobster reports with locations, or any reports with inshore white sebass bites. Sue me but I have seen the problems those types of reports cause.


Actually this thread reminds me of one from BD a while back where some guy poached a pic from this website and posted it saying: Huge Yellow On Yak Yesterday...!!!!
My response was: "You rock..... Way to poach someone else's info and broadcast it to the whole frigging world.http://www.bloodydecks.com/forums/images/smilies/hali_nuija.gif"

You'd think that was common sense. that it's bad form to steal someones info from another, and then post it on the biggest website in So.Cal. but then I got a bunch of these types of responses:

"99% of kayakers in La Jolla are also BD fans. There is no issue. Jim Day does not represent us, I wish he would shut his fxxxxxx mouth."

Some of those negative responses were from people who post here.

I guess what I'm saying here is you just can't win. People have to learn things on their own time table, and no matter what you say some jerk is probably going to have something negative to say about it. So you have to figure it out for yourself and then post what you think is right. It's weird... I mean on one hand I wish people posted more La Jolla info so I could use it, but on the other hand I know it's not a great thing to do, and there is no reason for me to expect others to post theirs when I don't post mine.

I'd say stealing a report and then posting it on another board is in bad taste. Saying you saw someone catch a fish, while you were actually out there fishing, in contrast is not the same thing, or even that big of a deal in my opinion, but that is just my take.

Third bag of popcorn is in the micro.:D

[gupppy]

i was referred to this website by a friend and see this flame war. pretty sad IMO. some act as if their life depended on fishing. i'm pretty sure 99% of those, if not all, that posted in here are NOT in that situation.
