Check your surf reports!

Already 11 this year...I'm still in pursuit on my first!

If you have a camera bring it Saturday. It's the only day I can get out.

Does swell effect the fishing or just the comfort level?

Thanks for the invitation but I'm not going to just drive down to LJ just to watch someone roll.
As for your question...... Comfort level is all I care about. Don't kill yourself for a fish.... You'll get one when it's time, I promise.

I remember before I caught my first one...... I saw the Darkhorse (Josh) at the launch on a day with big swells and it was raining to boot. We were both heading out and i asked him if he thought the weather would make fishing slow. He said no, I wouldn't be here if I thought that. I remember telling him that I've never caught a Yellowtail.(hoping for a little advise) I told him that this was my twentieth something time out in LJ. He told me that there are guys that get one their first time and guys who are still after one after fifty times. ANYWAY...... Time Otw will reward you. Good luck.

Nice report & summary!

Very nice report, congrats on your continued success. Garden sheers, even the curved pruning shears for roses make great sense, and are probably much better than dikes.

Nice going on all those old yellers. I too like to fish them on the iron, and look forward to my first one on a kayak.

I'm not really a gardener so I think I'm mixed up. I do use the curved ones that I think are used for roses. So I guess I use pruning sheers.

Nice Mike!

I have hooked up while holding the wrong rod before too. I should drink more so i piss more and increas my chances of hooking up in mid stream.
Great report and good humor. We need an avatar that depicts such an event.
