- Acceptable Wait Time to Report ? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I still need to post a report from 4 weeks ago

All I know is when I caught the fish, There were 4 of us kayakers and maybe one boat.

I went out last Saturday to 100 Boats and Yaks. The word got out and they did scare the fish away with all that pressure.

Sometimes, you really need to hold the fish report.

Sometimes it does not matter.

How do I share my cool catches? With a close knit group of really salty guys. We share current fish information as well as the catch itself and fish recipes. Information is so key to this sport.

To me it all depends on the spot and the bite.

I usually wait until the bite is over to share on the internet or once its already a shit show out there, tell 2-3 of my good friends that day and ask them not to tell the world. Otherwise if you cannot wait, share the report and do not share the location.

I agree with both of you - That's how we have done it in the past.
-It is dependent on the type of fish biting.

ie. Yellowtail Vs. Wsb - the latter which deserves a little more consideration.
Easily shut down by boat people (myself not included)

It is especially important to the kayak fisherman to preserve his hard earned bite, with the limited range we have, and the loss of fishing grounds we suffered at the hands of eco terrorists.

Good to see things are well in hand.
-Finding my own bite caused me to get out much more and make some great friends.

One of the best feeling is to have a close fishing buddy call you all amped up yelling "Hey lets go - it's on" Now!

The next time the wind is 20 kts you post up: should have been there yesterday.
Or when the launch is head high, post and then go down for the show.

Billy V. Blast from the past! Hope you're well.

I remember when I first got into kayak fishing and I was losing fish to bad connections. You showed me the san diego knot at the moyer tournament. Never fails!

If you ever need company on the parker, let me know.
