So little detail. Like depth, what kind of jig ( top water or yo-yo ) location. The ocean and la Jolla doesn't count. Fish move around so you're not giving away the secret spot. You're just giving a complete report. Not just bragging.

There's two major strategies in Japan with jigs, slow pitch and high pitch.


As easy as it comes is likely high pitch.


Not that any of this matters, because if you're not fishing with braid, you're wasting the effort.


Learn your tackle, and you will be able to target fish effectively, the rest come with putting in time. Hell, even just putting in the time with donated tackle is enough.

Read The Post
 
He said he was using a jig-stick so a logical guess would be he was using a surface iron..

my man sorry didn't realize i need to give you a pin drop of the location. I gave a report that i caught some fish. Don't be salty. Same style of report I give every time. It was the first time being out in a very long time due to having a new baby (our first). I have spent hours and hour learning how to fish LJ I have hung more YT, WSB, halibut and bass then i can remember.



But here you go.


Fish caught with light to no wind, YT in 110' bass all over.


Jig slow pitch color blue and pink



reel tranx 400 line 50# maxcuatro leader 40# seaguar fluoro premier



rod Phenix black diamond 809H


Next time i will include more information a pin drop and a video.



Handheld enough

filippo 05-26-2020 09:29 AM

You lucky, bragging, bastard son of a fish! I want longitude and latitude next time! Hahaha :)

Good catch!

SmokinBass 05-26-2020 10:57 AM

I didn't ask for a pin drop or for you to hold my hand. Just a real report.

before you tell someone to write a real report how about you write one. you have 61 post and you haven't contribute to anything...most of your post are saying nice report, congrats.

TJones 05-26-2020 11:39 AM

caught up with you on your way back in
 
I was just heading out. Way to make short work of them. Thanks for openly sharing all your secrets. Jig, color, location, etc. etc.... I did manage to break the skunk on a juvenile White Sea bass. Either questionably legal, or 1" short using my measuring tape on paddle. None the less, released to live another day. Again congrats, and thanks. By the way, you had mentioned I was on the border of the State Marine Reserve when I ran into you. I guess making bad in such an area is prohibited? Happy Memorial Day everyone. Hope everyone remained safe.

Yeah nice talking with you. Yes making bait there is a no no. Great job on the WSB always better to let swim away when in question.

more of a greenish brown hahahaha

filippo 05-26-2020 11:52 AM

Even with a full report and fishing with this guy (Almost) every time, I manage to catch 0 fish because I never listen to him hahahaha

bolocop 05-26-2020 01:55 PM

The nerve of some folks.

Dingokevin—thanks for the report. More than enough info. Most wouldn’t post at all.

Agree 100%

This is why many people (myself included) don't post reports here. Kevin tries to help out complete strangers with timely information and you talk shit to him about "not giving enough details". :confused:

Hey my guy, you gotta be on the ocean to catch a fish. If a wide open report like this doesn't get you motivated to go get on the water, nothing will. Fishing is about the hunt, not having the bite details fed to you "mama bird" style on the internet. Most OGs on this site would probably say that he gave out TOO MANY details, but hey that's a whole other kettle of fish :D :jig:

My opinion: if somebody told you exactly when, where, how to get a bite... you didn't really catch that fish, you just reeled it in. It was a charitable donation to your cooler. Thanks Kevin for your philanthropy! :you_rock:

lamb 05-26-2020 03:23 PM

Congrats on your baby,
and on this great day if fishing! :cheers1:

It doesn't matter
 
Even if he went out to the same location with the same bait and setup 1 hour later he might not catch anything. In the end it's being in the right place at the right TIME. That's why everyone says spend time on the water and eventually you'll get something. I took a guy outside of mission bay and he caught a 30# WSB. I have yet to catch a keeper, and I was the one that taught him how to flyline. The fun is in the time on the water.

sly 05-26-2020 04:40 PM

congrats
 
Congratulations on the new bundle of joy and on the YT. I spent about 6 hours out there with a buddy of mine and we only manages 6 fish together. We tried trolling both lures and a mac and couldn't produce anything. Finally ended up getting some rockfish and white fish to take home though. Hopefully next time we can have your type of day.

BTW, thanks for all the info, I agree with the others, your first report was plenty good.

TCS 05-26-2020 07:21 PM

No good deed goes unpunished.

Oolie 05-26-2020 07:50 PM

Did someone say WFO?


:bigear::auto::auto::auto::auto::auto::auto: :biggrinjester:


I always feel more accomplished when I figure out how to catch them. It's not the same with your hands being held.


That said, good going on the slow pitch.

jbl_91762 05-27-2020 06:36 AM

Nice report but even better reading. Great way to laugh my ass off while I drink my morning brew. And so selfish of you not to give further details as current, how many kayakers out there and their colors. and most important how many ladies were wearing thong bikinis. Next time we expect much more details.

Without a thong count the trip is a bust in my opinion lol and no speedos don’t count

Kevin,

Many of us so-called "old-timers" don't bother posting much anymore, but as one of the many who've known you as a "kid" from years and years of on-the-water contact, am really glad to hear of your becoming a dad. Indeed, if all goes well, I'll be out for the first time in many moons this weekend with my son (a rarity on both counts).

Gosh - even a note from "Lamb" as well!

All the best pappa!

Avery

Nice post, sounds like a good time to get on the water. Seems the red tide has pretty much passed although when I surf the crashing waves still have that odd "tint" to them. Good to hear the bite is on, I'll try and get out there soon.
