The experience was great, I know from reading other posts that I can't always expect it to go that well. Truth be told it was a lot of work and that was with Kevin's help. Im well aware that doing it alone would be another story. I look forward to fishing a few more times out in La Jolla before I commit to becoming a regular on the circuit, but I can understand why so many people are in love with the sport. As Kevin told me, "there are easier ways to catch fish for food, this is a sport..." After this guided experience I truly respect the sport and all of you out on the water regularly honing your craft. Good luck, tight lines and here's to lots of hook ups.
