You Know Where 2/5/13 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

rhyak · 02-06-2013, 08:31 AM

Fished off the coast today, Everyone doing the whole YO-YO thingy,

which is not really my style

I tried it and after almost 4 hours of casting and cranking home,

The voices in my head said go fish Calicos in the kelp there is nothing out here your FF

Has been blank for hours,

No bait equals no fish they say,

I told them to hush up... I am switching to my confidence bait and thats when it all started to come together...

The fleet was up tight in a ball if one moved the others followed. Was the only yaker in the fleet at this point with a total of 5 on the water the rest fished further offshore.

I moved a little shallow and started doing what I feel confident in none of this Yoyo reel stuff.

Doing the Flutter and Wack thing that is owww SOOOO FUUUNNN

I like the green backie mackies for my fluttering covered in Pro-Cure, todays choice was Sardine, but they all work choose one they like them all...

Was flutter and wacking for about an hour and started to fine some bait as I moved in toward the kelp line...

The Voices at this point saying just go pull on some bass better then this open water stuff with nothing around...

I keep fighting the urge and keep fluttering and wacking the Luna Jig.

I start to notice some bait hugging the bottom and that is when it happened.

GR6RR · 02-06-2013, 08:54 AM

Now wait a minute... If you look closely, Three of the Lead Sheeps look like Wolves?

Great job on the Yellowtail!

Dannowar · 02-06-2013, 08:59 AM

Dude way to go! Those Luna jigs are deadly if fished correctly. We take em down to Mexico and surf fish with em. Caught yellowtail off the sand with em!!

Nice work and nice persistence.

Dirty Curti · 02-06-2013, 09:10 AM

Ha! Love the cooler photo. Good work.

skrilla · 02-06-2013, 10:12 AM

Head first into the cooler. That guy knows how to party.

fishing-kayak · 02-06-2013, 10:28 AM

Looks like you had a great day. Can't wait to see more reports with more great catches from you.

OK, thanks for the heads up.

Its not a secret there has been a post almost daily that there are fish at a spot off the coast and there caught every month out of the year probably on a weekly basis.

There is no difference it was not wide open I fished from 6am-noon and only saw my fish with a dozen boats would not call anything wide open by any means of the imagination.

rhyak · 02-06-2013, 01:17 PM

PS if no one knew there is probably Halibut in the Port of LA.

Last week conditions where as nice as I've seen and there where maybe 3-4 kayaks on the water, no boats. Now after 4-5days of people posting fresh reports on here you're telling me there are 12 boats and god knows how many kayaks? on a weekday? Sounds like the reason "everyone knows" is because of us posting fresh reports on this site. Even the kooks over on bloodydecks seem to keep their mouths shut better than us!

Hey next january to March there will be a YT bite at LJ. Just so you know!!!

PS there will be a WSB bite coming up, just wait and post over on BD.

Deal with it or get lost.

Regards,
Ryan

Yeap....

And the very next day there were 52 boats in that ONE little spot.

And that's not even as crowded as it gets!
No one is trying to harsh you for being stoked on your first yt.

I just wanted to point out that reports have a direct impact on crowd.

I have a good view of the La Jolla spot from my work and I watch the crowds fluctuate everyday.

It's one thing to be stoked and tell your friends, but the internet is not the place to do it anymore! Thousands of people view these posts daily.... I get it that you guys want to give back and help others get stoked and learn how to fish...

Just remember: this in the WWW

To quote fishdope from last Friday, Saturday, and Sunday: "kayakers in La Jolla catching Yellowtail..."

It's not a territorial thing guys. It's about having respect for a limited resource. I guess I care for these fish way too much..... and I hate seeing lazy people rewarded.

Rhyak: You're right, it's no secret that YT and WSB will bite this year, next year, and hopefully the year after... yes the WSB always bite around the time the Fred Hall Show opens in March, that is NO secret. In fact they probably bit good on Feb 7th 1952 as well.

But: MOST people in this world are too lazy to get off their couch. They sit at home and wait for a "report" on the internet. Don't help the lazy idiots (Yes most of these idiots know how to fish and probably fish better than you) that sit at home and waiting for you to do all the ground work!

take care,
Owyn

You hear them too? LOL! Yeah, it's kinda hard to ignore them when you have an hour and a half drive back home.

rhyak · 02-06-2013, 07:25 PM

Ohh look they bit in February of 08 as well

Sorry to whoever this is, saw this as I was coming on the site on the homepage and saw the date so post it, let me know if you want it taken down and id be happy too.

blitzburgh · 02-07-2013, 10:05 PM
