Lack of fishing reports - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Poxy Boggards · 07-24-2013, 12:55 PM

This site used be chocked full of good info, but lately its just seems like FU to everyone except for those in my speed dial, we keep all our secrets to ourselves, and if your lucky we'll post a picture of our catches 3 weeks later.

LAME!

such gnar locals man....

"We grew here, you flew here", people who are God's gift to fishing can't spoil the bite! its not allowed!

I personnally enjoy the little hints and tips that people post. I know that the info that is shared is something that they have gone out there and earned, so I am not going to be angry at anyone who wishes to keep a spot secret or whatever. I will however, come out and try to make use of a good bite. Especially, because I have very limited fishing time. This year is the first year that I haven't spent at least 8 months out of the year out to sea (not on my kayak). Even so, I tend not to sweat if the reports are not great because in the freshwater lakes back home, some of the biggest fish I have ever seen were caught when the fishing was slow.

I get where you are coming from, but to me it's the general attitude that I have been noticing on here lately that has me somewhat turned off. I understand first hand how an internet posting can make conditions less desirable for a local or crowd out a bite, but the cryptic pics only posts, not even giving any details are just brag posts, not intended to help anyone.

I understand. It is definately frustrating when you see the posts a couple weeks later or whatever. I just enjoy fishing and try not to get caught up in it too much. If someone wants to brag about their fish, whatev. If some one wants to help out a newb, awesome. I have learned a lot fishing with guys that have been doing it a while, or just watching the guys that are out there and look like they know what they are doing.

Pictures are worth a thousand words

Personally I like seeing the pictures more

Fishing is fishing

If you wait for the report you are often too LATE

For any "new guy" wanting a tip on inshore fishing? Find the "bait" and you will find the fish. Any fish one catches weather it be during a "bite" or not translates into experience. Obviously the more fish you catch the better fisherman you become, as each fish caught is a whole new learning experience. To me the "hunt" is also much more gratifying.....

As of now 1053 people have read this post and it has been copied over to Bloody decks if any fish pics and a few other websites...it is a bummer,,, but that is technology...Neil - I would love to help you work on your class project anytime...PM me....

StinkyMatt · 07-25-2013, 07:58 AM

Hey Jim, I saw that grumpy old bastard at the launch too. That guy does not belong on the water, he can't even swim!

I bet it will take him years to catch a real fish.

Well what time did you catch nothing and what depth did you catch nothing...!?

I don't need the report, just give me the pictures. Fish porn makes my job better.

YES!! Seeing the pics of everyone's fish definately motivates me to get out there and get my own. Especially when I am stuck at work with nothing to do and I get to browse all these nice photos.

Made bait and got a tan!

I was at la jolla on sunday and only saw one kayak with a fish in it. It was nice, but only one fish.

LOL, I can't wait!

TJones · 07-24-2013, 03:21 PM

the same thing . since the fishing has been excellent closer to home , i have not been down south in about 2 months . i think i have seen a couple posts at best . personally i have had the my best season yet . i caught 4 seabass . a thirty , 2 forty's and a fifty . the crazy thing is the fish were all caught within thirty minutes of fishing on the given day . and i did not spend a fortune in fuel trying to find them . my posts were more about bragging , like you mentioned .

. i did not want all my secrets getting out , so i did not get into the details very much . well we will just have to wait and see what the rest of the season has to offer .
