Catapalooza 2010 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

landwhale · 05-26-2010, 04:57 PM

Borrowed a computer to post some pics...........

The rescue

The return

My tent was moving for 2 1/2 days

The ocean was rough the whole trip

Sunday the kelp was heavy on the beach

We even had live entertainment

Interesting footware

The trip was fantastic caught a calico each day even though the fishing in Little Harbor was tough the swells out side were big.........

What caused the Trident to go down ?

Looks like the seas were up.

Iceman · 05-26-2010, 05:56 PM

speculation was a fairly heavily loaded kayak, rough seas. The knock out punch was the through scupper transducer on the side that was getting pelted by the swells, filling the footwell and seeping into the rod pod.

Glad I had plenty of Beer this year.
More Kayak rescue video.

This is the way Utah boys roll @ Cat!

Good stuff Ed and Allen! Glad you guys make the trip each year!

The bad part of the trip for me was I lost my Crate as it didn't make the voyage home with us but got a call today from the REAL rangers and they found it! It will be on the Flyer tomorrow and I will pick it up.

Yikes! Looks like a killer trip. Gnarly weather

Bummed I missed it this year- Video & pics got me all stoked for next year though

The trip was awesome! Weather less so. Fishing was great on monday. But the overall experience ... Priceless !
Thanks to everyone for making this an unforgettable trip and especially to my roomies in the orange (sometimes flattened) motel! I still find myself daydreaming about the trip and the good times and great people!

Takes a long time to get to Yewtah with Polygamist Al driving. Just a tease. Fish porn to come.

Aaahh geeez! The guy comes out of retirement for one weekend and he still thinks he is God's gift to halibut. Now his huge head is going to be too big to fit on the yak anymore, and we'll see him on his shiny boat again...
