NPS with William Novotny and Fish - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

octico · 03-29-2014, 02:56 PM

Went out with William Novotny and Fish, aka Brian. This was my first time EVER out on kayak ... and I think I did okay, but I will let Will comment on that.

Things started off a little dicey, I did not know my left from or right, starboard from fartboard. I eventually got the hang of it and we were off. Once I got used the struggles of fighting the wakes from boats the small confines of a kayak things went well. We got to where Will said the fish would be and BAM! Alot of small fish but we did manage a few good sized ones (Will said there were small). We did well fished until around 11AM, Fish stuck around looking for bass. I was like F-that this old man is tired! I cannot keep up with this young buck. Went home got a six pack of beer!

And now for the bling ....

This little bastard tried to drink my Ballast Point! WTH that's expensive beer ... OFF WITH HIS HEAD!

Excellent first time out, always pays to have someone show you the ropes.

Alan I could not agree with you more! This site has been such a great resource and great way to make new friends!

Awesome! Sounds like Will is a cool guy. Willing to share his knowledge of fishing and the sport. That's one of the great things about BWE, so many people willing to help us newbies. Everytime I meet somebody on the water from BWE their always willing to help and share. Kudos to both of you!

Keep an eye on weather forecasts. If I'm not mistaken it might not be the best conditions mon/tues. If weather permits I'll be in lajolla. Otherwise I'd be down
