WCW '07 Top 20 Tourney! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

EdCal · 06-29-2008, 01:28 PM

I showed up at 5:30 and watched everyone unload and launch. My first time at LaJolla and without my fishing buddies I was alittle intimidated. I was hesitant to launch due to the overcast weather, then decided I was already here so lets give it a go. Easy launch (my 4th beach launch ever) so i was feelin good. Paddled to the kelp to make bait, realized I forgot to pack my sabikis. Oh well, I worked the kelp with strips of squid. Caught several little calicos. fished for a few hours and decided to go, them WHAM my pole was bouncin. Started crankin and was stuck in the weeds. 10 minutes of fighting the kelp this fat calico appears

next cast was a decent Sheephead. Headed back in by 10:30, beautiful landing. I felt I had a good day for being a LaJolla rookie

It was pleasure to meet all the peeps I spoke to and hope to meet up again real soon

I t was fun seeing everyone yesterday despite the slow fishing. Congrats to all the WCW 08 winners & to Jasmin for showing us up.

Too Bad Jasmin didn't get my spot.

Ed Cal; nice goat, sweet calico. I'm cooking cali tacos tomorrow. My taco sauce is mayo, sweet chili sauce and hot(red rooster) chili sauce. yum yum.

Thanks to a 3lb whopper I can now aford to
play this year. I just singed up for all of the
jackpots.
I had no plan except to try and get a WSB.
When I saw Jasmin pull that fat girl in.
(Very nice bass Jasmin)
I got the ghost fever again and stayed close
to the kelp. I was down to my last bait on
my way in when this 3lb calico eats my 1lb
greenie five feet from my kayak.
Thanks to all. Good talking to the peeps
I,m always reading about.
Time to go find that first submission.
