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

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.

I'm new to the kayak world, but not to fishing. While I greatly appreciate the advice and reports I find here, I get why some don't want to put all the details out there. It took me and my buddy years of trips back and forth to San Clemente Island, tons of trial and error and literally thousands of dollars in fuel and gear before we landed our first BFT over 300#. But so much more satisfaction comes from knowing you were successful because you did your own research, monitored weather/ocean conditions, picked the spot, rigged your own gear and got the right bait out in exactly the right location and landed the fish you were after. Can't beat that feeling.
That said, I give plenty of detail in reports I've written so far because, well, usually by the time a report gets written, it's already too late. The bite is off. Conditions have changed. Whatever. But I also appreciate the reports those of you write so I feel it's the least I can do to give back when I can. Also, most of my reports are from local bass, so I'm not necessarily offering any groundbreaking news. Spoiler alert: Calico bit on sardines!

Having been to Japan and hoarding tackle, I can say with certainty there's no dedicated slow-pitch targeted tackle stateside, so it won't help people to turn them on to it.


There's tons of fakes and stuff pretending, but if you want to bring these techniques to our nearshore waters, you will have to improvise. Or you can go to Japan and bring me back some jigs while you're at it. Then I might even show you how to use them.


Neither here nor there, if you're jonesing for a fish, do it your way.

Nice work Kevin and thanks for sharing!

Also, for others... its all about time on the water.
I have spent many early mornings out at the Jewel and you'll see Kevin putting in his time.

Ha, I remember one time I got hit and I looked out and then shortly after Kevin got nailed. After finishing the battle, I paddled up to Kevin to compare and both of us had solid homeguards on the deck.

Good times!
