Heartbreak in PV

I'm normally on it but after buying my new rig, I totally left behind the most important thing, making sure my tackle is tip top and ready. I left that dropper loop set up on that rod from last week (I'm an idiot). Now that my kayak is pretty much close to dialed and I have taken it out a couple times, I can start to hone in on specifics. As I mentioned before, I am pretty sharp on a skiff, sportfisher or cattle boat, but I am pretty humbled by kayaking. If I was just trying to get bottom grabbers, checker boards and bay fishing my ego wouldn't be threatened......

you paddled from the cabrillo launch all the way to PV??! that's like.. a 7 mile paddle (about a 10 mile boat ride). that is a FAR PADDLE. why don't you just launch from PV?

I'm getting sick of the d**k swinging contest. Palos Verdes Peninsula is from Point Fermin to PV proper. If you're gonna attack me, know WTF you're talking about.

i have never fished PV before and i know nothing about it. I dont know the restricted areas, dont know the good locations, dont know the contours, and dont even know what it looks like. i have not fished it for those reasons. i always thought PV (palos verdes) was mainly the pv point. so i am completely honest when i say i dont know wtf i'm talking about. which is why i asked my original question when i posted it.

for you to attack me because of my question... i am still slightly confused about. i have heard much about wsb and yt and big sheepshead that roam that area and i have been wanting to check it out. as i stated earlier, i thought Palos verdes point is where all of the 'good' fishing/diving is located so i was wondering why you paddled from cabrillo all the way there when there are closer launch points to pv point. Was i trying to take a jab at you? no. did you take complete offense to an honest question? yes. is it because people on here were trying to discredit you? maybe.

Now I Understand! I thought it was a Puerto Vallarta thread. Cows at the bank, have a buddy working on the Maximus. But no, just a bunch of sewer related ...

And another note. I don't go in at the "launch." That would make an extra couple miles to get out of Queens Gate. I'm not afraid of ankle slappers.

i figured that much. my buddy dives the breakwall lighthouse and just walks the wall and jumps off instead of launching his boat at the ramp and driving it all the way around. its also good for him too because he doesnt have to leave his boat unattended. anything that would shorten the distance paddling would be beneficial to any kayaker. i've done 20 mile round trips on my kayak and was dead for days.

Hey Brian-man...all good. I was so busy trying to push down on my brotha Johnny, I meant no harm with my terminal tackle suggestion. Def not intended at you. Some of us go a ways back and enjoy hating on each other...as often as we can...

But those breakoffs are killer moments that haunt for a while. I'm still trying to find the best situation...I love a lighter rod and reel. But I'm loaded for bear on line size and terminal gear. And when a snag or seal jumps the hook...I'm just a dead man. On my last trip, I had seals burn off the braid on two reels. So now I've got to come up with a spool hold because my thumb skins were damaged, lol. Just can't get enough of the big bend...Jim

I didn't take any offense from your comment. It was good input as I am using 5+ yr old braid and leaving knots on from two trips prior (Again, I'm an idiot). These rod tubes on my PA are destroying my guides except my CalStar WC Deckhand (SS guides). I'm gonna get more of them or the Seeker Pinheads. I'm gonna stop using graphite and get all SS guides. As far as terminal goes, the lightest I usually use is #40. I will use #70 night fishing squid grounds or in WFO bites. I'm not into that whole, I landed a fish "this big" on #5 test. I like saying, "Cool, I landed three fish while you were doing that."
