EPIC YEAR OF FISHING - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

danjor · 11-20-2014, 05:24 PM

This year also was not the greatest for me either. But than again I only got out fishing 4 times. 3 on the colorado river during a Vegas trip and once on a 3/4 out of Dana. For a guy who has been fishing 60+ trips a year for the last 6 years, (ever since I could drive) this year has sucked. Better luck next year

This year has been one of epic proportions for me. From yak or charter, I couldn't lose. Im so happy with my saltwater year, I've switched to trout!!

I'm trying to figure out why you target SI 90% of the time. If that's the case, LJ isn't too far at all.

Where you fishing for trout?

La jolla has been very good this year, but I wouldn't say epic. Back in 2010/2011 when the squid was in full swing, now that was insane.

What stands out most about this year was the offshore bite. I can't remember ever seeing so many 100#+ bluefin and marlin caught in SD waters. There are captains down at the docks who released 10+ marlin in a day. Not to mention the wahoo, and a YFT bite that was wide open for 3 or 4 months. Definately on par with '98 El Niño. Remember this one boys!

+1 I totally remember 98. We were catching tons of Albacore out of San Diego back then.

I wouldn't say on PAR....but...

This season far exceeds any other season (Local Offshore)...possibly ever...!!! When's the last time you remember local wahoo being caught...? I sure as hell don't...talking to some of the old timers...they don't remember it either.

Still can't believe the barracuda didn't make a strong showing this year....??? What's up with that?!

I'm think'n this might be the winter the big ass squids might show up...I wouldn't mind screw'n around with those for awhile....

In '98 I had a trip where we caught YF, BF, Bigeye, albacore, dorado and a marlin. At the 302! In terms of the 'hoo and marlin this year was better for sure. But the tuna bite wasnt quite as diverse this season.

I have had a great year! This being my first year kayak fishing. So glad I got into this at the beginning of the year. I have learned so much in this short time. Looking forward to the rest of this year and next.
