This goes back and forth all the time. I am on both sides here. First-- for out of towners--there is a sentiment (resentment) of entitlement by locals because they live there....however-- many out of towners feel that they are somehow entiltled to the information. I understand in LJ-- chasing pelagics and the sheer boat traffic==> that there are volume repercussions to outing a bite. Not so much so up in Malibu fishing halibut, bass where there are several beaches to launch from and not nearly such a high quantity of boaters. Also, being an out of towner-- I also understand the frustration of driving down and back (300 miles) empty handed...but that is time OTW. If I get a tip from a buddy about some activity-- that is great! But I make it down there when convenient for me-- and if I am able to get the right bait, the right time, and the right place==> I'll get my own fish. And there is a special sense of satisfaction when you do do it all yourself-- and someone didn't just put you in the right place! That's why we are kayakfishing-- we can find our own fish, fish our own style, not worry about all the other trash with cattleboating...and a supreme level of independence. Get your satisfaction from fishing-- remember we don't pay for anything on these sites-- so to expect anything is ridiculous! I personally enjoy posting...because I get to relive my day while crafting my poorly worded story (inserting pics when possible!)....and it is kind of a record for me that I can go back and look at down the road to relive another day. That is my motivation-- if it helps anyone else-- that's a bonus! I'm not out to keep anyone away--- nor drag crowds in. I'm just a humble fisherman that enjoys what he does when I am blessed (read given the pass from the wife!) with the free time and opportunity to get out!
 P.S.--- all that said-- PLEASE PM ME NEXT TIME THE WSB ARE IN!! lol |

Maybe Disneyland can add a kayak fishing ride for those that want it easy. Obviously, multiple sites with extensive info and archives, realtime weather, launch webcam, and fairly up to date reports are still not enough for some people to decide whether they should go fishing.
I don't know much, but I know I've never caught a fish from my couch.

The evolution of kayak fisherman at La Jolla, a timeline-
The first years- Look at me!! Look at me!! I caught a fish, it's so big...I'm so cool!!! The helper- Now that I know how to catch some fish, I'll do my best to help other catch some too... The arguer (#1)- Thanks for the out dated report, bites over… if you don’t post, then don’t read post… your all wrong…you’re a tool… you have no right to ____!!! The population explosion- Where did all these other fisherman come from, it used to be so quiet here? Why is it that when I post my fish there is so many people out? The realization- I miss the quietness that there used to be... it's much harder to catch those fish now? I work hard and put in countless hours to find this bite. Ouch…my foot hurts from where I shot it… The competitor- I better be careful with what I say or my competition is going to get the jump on me. The arguer (#2)- Thanks for letting the cat out of the bag… way to ruin the bite…you’re a tool... you have no right to ___... how dare you...... STFU!!! The final straw- WTF is all this politics and bickering on The Board, it's getting old... this is fishing! it's supposed to be fun... I’m done with this shit! I fish for me, my piece of mind and to have a good time with my friends. Who care what the general public thinks, I don't know them anyway... Hey buddy what's you phone # so we can share info with each other and not the rest of the world. The outside viewer- Nothing has changed, politics, BS and more and more new people on the timeline... it will never end. Will it? It's fishing, have fun, quit bickering... Just an opinion / observation from a nobody… bring on the arguers The preceding information has not been evaluated by BWE, use as described, results may vary. from a fisherman formly known as C-level

True True, the bad part is I like seeing people I know on the water. Sharing info, while on the water. Talking smack. It's too bad LJ is such a postage stamp of an area. It's funny how I go to LJ just to be out there and head south for peace and fish. |
