Bee invation!

[driftwood]

I got invated by a swarm of bees while fishing today in La Jolla. Got stung 7 times on the face and arms. There was so many bees on my head... i was dripping bees. I looked like a bee keeper!

I'm doing tequila shots right now to num the pain :help: But, just looking at the 45Lb reward i got today makes me forget about the pain (tequila shots helps)

Hot day today summer time hot!! Current was ripping lots of bait out there.

that is a small price to pay for a 45er.thats easy for me to say thank the lord for tekillya

[Rav3n805]

ouch! at least you got one!

[dsafety]

I was just thinking about the April Fools report that I was going to post after going out tomorrow. I was going to be really creative.

Did Driftwood beat me to it or have the fish finally shown up? Give us some pictures Gabe.

Stay tuned.

Do you mean "stings" instead of bites? Ok someone had to point that out.

Almendrado - very smooth, sipping tequila. Best to have a couple bottles on hand, the first one can disappear mighty quickly.

Then there is this guy...

Well done Gabe! I hope that I stumble on that spot tomorrow. If I don't maybe I will have to come up with something entertaining to excuse my failure.

I just hope the bees leave me alone. I will have beer on board as and anesthetic, however. Anyone else planning on being out there on Friday?

JimmyZ and I will be launching between 7:30 & 8am on Saturday - I just can't get up any earlier than that, so if you are willing to sleep in, you can join us.

[rogersmith]

:doh:Damn, I would have been practicing my self rescue skills, I HATE bee stings [allergic to some degree]. I may have gone under the kayak and breathed through the scupper holes!

Are you sure you know one when you see one?

[Fiskadoro]

Are you sure you know one when you see one?

Like shooting fish in a barrel... :sifone:

[Iceman]

I am going to guess it was the yellow kayak that brought them to you, why they stung you is a mystery.......queen must have landed on your head, wanted to start a new hive between your ears!


There was so many bees on my head... i was dripping bees. I looked like a bee keeper!Can't imagine more than one bee sting at a time!

Nice Feesh! :luxhello:

BTW WCW 2011 starts TODAY!

[StinkyMatt]

Little known fact:

I used to be a beekeeper, during times of slow flowering activity in the fields we used to feed the bees remains of fish we would catch. The fish love the protein contained in the tissues of a dead fish.

More simply stated the bees were fighting with you over their right to hunt their pray, a WSB! Its just mother nature at work!

You are out in the ocean, the natural hunting grounds for bees and they are just fighting for their survival.

LEAVE the bees alone!



P.S.

A new MPLA is being established in Ca to protect the Pelagic Bee populations.

It wasn't really an attack. At first bees were very friendly and were just all over me. My big mistake was that i pissed them off and thats when some bees....not all stung me. Yes, one sting at a time... just glad they were not killer bees.

[driftwood]

LOL!!!! I actually thought about doing the same thing. But with a big WSB on board and leaving a bloody trail for miles...the thought of a Great White shark killed the idea of jumping into the water.

[Aaron&Julie]

Congratulations on a nice WSB for your pain. Thanks for a timely report.

[radastaff]

nice wsb
gratz

bee attack sounds
unnearving

[sharonkayak]

glad your day had a happy ending!

I have a yellow yak as well and sometimes bees will come and try and hang out on it. kind of scary what happened to you. I might of been in the water.

[roby]

Bees suck....wsb good.

[Hypoxic1]

Classic. Hit the nail right on the head!!!!!:biggrinjester:

I was out there today, and it wasn't the best of weather but is was fun. I could not believe all the bait that was in the water. No Joke.

Great looking WSB, sorry to hear about the bee stings.

[THE DARKHORSE]

A couple of Bee stings qualifies as a character building experience. Add in a nice fish, some sipping-tea to celebrate/self medicate and it could be worse, right?




Just imagine the thirty guys driving down from O.C. getting skunked today; they'd trade you in a heartbeat! :sifone:

[yani]
