Awesome fish there Cliff. Thank you for the heads ups yesterday. I tried to get out this AM but have too much work to do. Let's try for next week.

As to adding to the crowds this weekend, give me a break, It is a Holiday weekend and most true kayak fisherman will be far away from La Jolla.

This week for you a A week ago for myself a

It is going to be a great year of fishing.

Congratulations again buddy!!!!!!!

Congratulations on your nice White Cliff. A very sweet catch.

You didn't see anybody out there, but we met on the beach after landing and helped each other out with our kayaks. I launched at sunrise, met Austin (on the tandem with his sister), so there were a couple of other yakers out there.
You landed minutes after I did with your very fat Ghost.

I worked hard for 5 hours for nothing, also getting wet from head to toe on launch. I lost my kayak wheels when I was hit by one big wave. I wasn't used to using wheels, and forgot to bungy them in on the back.
I covered much ground high and low on that very bumpy ocean for nothing.

If a very few additional boaters/yakers show up because of your one WSB you mentioned in your post, so be it. Like you said it's MEMORIAL day weekend, a crowd was a given. And why should you care you caught enough good meat for a couple of months.

There are still plenty of people out there who appreciate timely reports like yours, we do, and thanks for posting it, though I won't be out for awhile until the aches work out of my system. The ones who are dismayed by your report aren't helping you out by not reporting, unless your in their private group of special ones, and get their PMs.

Keep posting, and don't feel like you need to "DEFEND" your posts. Nice once in a while to see it like it used to be...

Congrats on your Ghost!

As for all the haters, all I can say is "F" them. I never understood this whole territorial secretive BS when it comes to fishing. When it comes down to it, if you don't have the skill set to catch a trophy fish, you can be dead center in the middle of a boil and still leave empty handed.

If everyone hoards info and does nothing but rations out info to their inner circle...there is no way this sport is going to grow.

Personally I think the more the merrier, the ocean is big enough to support a few more kayakers on the water. Heck this entire Board wouldn't exist if all we had on here were hoarders.

I think I am going to have to open up my own live bait shop on the water after all I must have the best fin bait around evidently, last week on thursday I met and helped Marvin catch some nice sized macs, left him alone to head outside, came back by him wishing him luck on my way in and 30 minutes later he popped his cherry with his first ever yellow tail !!! So wanting to spread the my lucky macs around on the way back in yesterday I saw someone (Cliff) heading out as I was heading in, I stopped him and offered up my bait tank on greenies and wished him luck as well and guess what ?? a WSB came a calling on one of those special lucky macs !!! So if you see me in my beige outback and straw hat heading in come on over and get some lucky bait. Hopefully these good deeds will have some value to the fish gods, I sure could use some.

Tight lines !!!
