My Camping Trip...

[jruiz]

Big thanks for Roby and Frank for putting this together. My digicam quit on me before the trip so all I have is on the shore phone pics.

First day. This pic was from my last drop, on my last drift, on the last piece of kelp before the landing. PB verm @ 7lb 6oz. It looked really old


This was from the second half of the second day when I overslept after the morning session.





I had a hard time hooking in to a ling the whole trip. Finally hooked on to one at the same waypoint I got the red the first day. Broke me off after I thumbed the spool a bit to try to slow down it's run. Saw that Roby was having good luck on the big plastics so Frank was nice enough to lend me one that I snagged on the first cast. I believe Roby lost two as well in the same area within 30 minutes of one another. Right before the last session I made a drive over to morro bay to buy some tackle determined to bring home a ling. Had my chance 30 minutes in and lost him fumbling for my gaff. Went home with a decent cabezon as a consolation.

I was sort of on the fence about going to the CSDIII, after this trip though I'm going to try to make it.

Glad I made one photo ... One of the best kayak trips I've been on. Fishing was good even for me and as always food was good.

Thanks Roby

Thanks Roby

The one paddling in is you too.

Great report. Looks like you had great conditions.

Roby! Where's the money shot? Pic of bleeding cut finger please. Or this post is a bogus cut and paste scam where (4) men camped together and made a pact...what goes on up here, stays up here, right guys?

[jruiz]

It looked something like this. I remember asking how bad it was and the reply was "the bleeding won't stop." Thank you frank for saving roby, he had all the good waypoints and still hadn't cooked breakfast for us yet.

I found a pic of Roby's rescue by the USCG

[wiredantz]

this is what his cut looked liked, after we took him down the medical center to get some stiches

[Hondatom]

OUCH!

Sounds like a great trip Roby. Nice red and lings. Great sunset picture. It wouldn't have been as good a story without the chumming using your own blood part. Sorry you had to go to urgent care and get stitches. Remember "pain is temporary, glory is forever and Chicks dig scars". Mark

Your red was real nice. The picture doesn't show its true size.

I can't wait to do this trip again. Thanks again for getting the homemade apple pie on that last night.

On the last evening we were fishing, I had a lingcod dangling from my kayak and I had this eerie feeling I wasn't alone. I saw this huge mark on my fish finder at 60 feet and just knew it had to be "The Man." With Piedras Blancas so close, I think the GWs are always around.

You have been invited twice and you keep blowing off the trip. Wassup Dawg?!

No pre-fishing. I join tournaments for the raffles only and even then I don't win. Conditions were great. Hopefully, it stays that way for the Slam.

Registration will open in a week or so hopefully.

It's definitely worth attending. The coastline is amazing. We saw whales two days in a row. Ryan also runs a smooth tourney.
