So little detail. Like depth, what kind of jig ( top water or yo-yo ) location. The ocean and la Jolla doesn't count. Fish move around so you're not giving away the secret spot. You're just giving a complete report. Not just bragging.

I was just heading out. Way to make short work of them. Thanks for openly sharing all your secrets. Jig, color, location, etc. etc.... I did manage to break the skunk on a juvenile White Sea bass. Either questionably legal, or 1" short using my measuring tape on paddle. None the less, released to live another day. Again congrats, and thanks. By the way, you had mentioned I was on the border of the State Marine Reserve when I ran into you. I guess making bad in such an area is prohibited? Happy Memorial Day everyone. Hope everyone remained safe.

Yeah nice talking with you. Yes making bait there is a no no. Great job on the WSB always better to let swim away when in question.

my man sorry didn't realize i need to give you a pin drop of the location. I gave a report that i caught some fish. Don't be salty. Same style of report I give every time. It was the first time being out in a very long time due to having a new baby (our first). I have spent hours and hour learning how to fish LJ I have hung more YT, WSB, halibut and bass then i can remember.

But here you go.

Fish caught with light to no wind, YT in 110' bass all over.

Jig slow pitch color blue and pink

reel tranx 400 line 50# maxcuatro leader 40# seaguar fluoro premier

rod Phenix black diamond 809H

Next time i will include more information a pin drop and a video.

Handheld enough

SmokinBass · 05-26-2020, 10:57 AM

I didn't ask for a pin drop or for you to hold my hand. Just a real report.

before you tell someone to write a real report how about you write one. you have 61 post and you haven't contribute to anything...most of your post are saying nice report, congrats.

jbl_91762 · 05-27-2020, 06:36 AM

Nice report but even better reading. Great way to laugh my ass off while I drink my morning brew. And so selfish of you not to give further details as current, how many kayakers out there and their colors. and most important how many ladies were wearing thong bikinis. Next time we expect much more details.

Without a thong count the trip is a bust in my opinion lol and no speedos don’t count

I'm new to the kayak world, but not to fishing. While I greatly appreciate the advice and reports I find here, I get why some don't want to put all the details out there. It took me and my buddy years of trips back and forth to San Clemente Island, tons of trial and error and literally thousands of dollars in fuel and gear before we landed our first BFT over 300#. But so much more satisfaction comes from knowing you were successful because you did your own research, monitored weather/ocean conditions, picked the spot, rigged your own gear and got the right bait out in exactly the right location and landed the fish you were after. Can't beat that feeling.
That said, I give plenty of detail in reports I've written so far because, well, usually by the time a report gets written, it's already too late. The bite is off. Conditions have changed. Whatever. But I also appreciate the reports those of you write so I feel it's the least I can do to give back when I can. Also, most of my reports are from local bass, so I'm not necessarily offering any groundbreaking news. Spoiler alert: Calico bit on sardines!

Having been to Japan and hoarding tackle, I can say with certainty there's no dedicated slow-pitch targeted tackle stateside, so it won't help people to turn them on to it.

There's tons of fakes and stuff pretending, but if you want to bring these techniques to our nearshore waters, you will have to improvise. Or you can go to Japan and bring me back some jigs while you're at it. Then I might even show you how to use them.

Neither here nor there, if you're jonesing for a fish, do it your way.
