That is one funny No Fish report!

As I was reading this, I was actually cheering for Frank.

Hey Frank, I feel for you man. Come down to LJ in the morning and make up for it!

Sasha, with a teacher like that you will be an expert in no time.

Way to go on the halibut Sasha. And Frank - you are DA MAN! I'm in line for the next lesson

Lesson Plans:

1) Speed Paddling
2) Taking Care of Your Catch
3) Surf Launch and Landing

Seriously - glad you both made it back in and out. Much respect...

Hey Wahoousma.. Im not that Sasha but im a better Sasha..
I got to say it was a good day with good laughs. We must have done 4-5 miles over all. I got sea sick and when ever i moved i didnt feel so bad.
Got some idea to explore to protect the rods when going out or back in. When ever i spend some time on the water i learn more about what i like or dont like. A day well spend with some good company just dont do what Frank do lol...

I laugh cause I've been there. Launched at Dume today like an expert. Punched right through the waves like I was meant to do this with a packed beach watching me probably waiting for me to bail. I dissapointed them.

Fished deep (450') and with the new 2 pound sinker, caught 6 rockfish in less than 30 minutes. The current was wicked though and got tired of paddling hard to stay in one spot so I headed back. I was going to fish shallow near the reef but the current was too strong. It looked like a river in the shallow areas.

Tied everything down for the landing and went for it after letting the 4th wave go under me. O SH*T there's a 5th! I paddle for my life but it catches me and I'm sideways and now I'm swimming in 6' of water. Got the kayak turned upright and swim/push it to shore. Funny part was even though there were tons of people watching me flounder in the water, no one helped as I approached the shore. 20' from the shoreline the bow of my kayak was nearly on dry sand but I still was in too deep of water to stand. They just stood there watching me. Whatever. I didn't need the help. Just seemed strange. Usually people want to help or at least want to see if you caught anything..
