4-15 Cabrillo with a Legend, an Elite and a Champ
 

I hit Cabrillo on Sunday knowing that a few others would be there too via a few texts the day before. I ended up in the midst of quite the crew: Jorge (Legend in the Making), Matt (Stinky yet Elite), and Greg (WCW Champ)...We were joined a few hours later by Brent (Mountain biker on a kayak).

I, Caffeind, in my excitement to hit the water, had no coffee this day, so was extraordinarily silent in my stalking of the flat ones. This turned out to be a good thing as it let me enjoy the almost constant banter of Team Sewer as they dodged whales, dickheads in boats, kite flying homeless guys and apparently blood thirsty raccoons (after I left).

Somehow me and my Olive Outback (Official Kayak of Cabrillo Halibut Fisherman TM) managed to steer clear of all the wackiness out there...just one bite for one fish.

Ended up being a PB for me. OTW pic provided by Matt

20lbs.- 38"...too bad we didn't have a $5 big fish bet goin :rolleyes:

:cheers1: hey, that's my spot... :D

Nice Personal Best :luxhello:

Nice job on the halibut. It's always dun fishing with those guys sometimes you just have to turn your radio down do to Matts constant bad jokes.

Your lucky the mexican was not there he acts drunk and runs into ya... Matt tells me he had 4 flatties in an hour im calling BS...

HAHAHAHAH DIDNT TAKE LONG TO GET THE pm:D

20lbs......the text you sent me says 19.9lbs. Did you re-weigh it using Roby's scale?

Matt did some catch and release? I don't think so.

I'll have to admit that Sunday was the worst fishing day for me at Cabrillo. Bait was well cured, sun was shining, water was moving, there was plenty and I mean plenty of sea life but all I managed to get was two sandies that were large enough to win a bass tournament.

Thanks again for coming out and congrats on the PB........lets do it again Thursday.

Certified bicep scale said 20.

I also texted you where the fish were and look where that got you....

I be werkin Thursday and stuff....good luck tho. Hope its windy enough for your dragon kite with the 30' tail. :D

My bad...I only drifted thru once I swear

Thanks! Only one thing to do now, right?

Thanks...actually those guys had me rollin', maybe it was the lack of coffee tho. I'll see if they're funny after a venti next time.

Yah didnt see any out there...I heard they were all flying kites and planning a Cinco de Mayo whale watching trip.

that was a fun day OTW, as most are even when it is slow, although it was a bit lack luster due to the fact that Matt forgot to charge his radio, so we missed out on the usual constant back round comedic chatter...

some other interesting happenings that day, Matt...didn't your mom tell you not to play on the freeway? and I wish I had a picture but, a loaded China Shipping Company cargo ship came through, I look over and there is Matt, in what appeared ,from where I was, very very close to being run over by about six football fields of imported truck trailers, and no way to radio him to say "heads up", a little unnerving, I was on the opposite side of the harbor so I can't tell exactly how close, but if you have ever been near a big ship in a little kayak, they all look close...
Anyway it was great seein everybody as usual and just having fun...:reeling:

We were very safe, well outside of the shipping lane markers. Maybe the angle or the size of the ship made it look closer. :D


I need a spare radio, just to make sure I can entertain all day long!:D

Sweet!

Nice butts guys....I'm a south bayer and have fished that area por nada for months at a time....nice work.

Congrats on the Hali....I wanted to meet up for this trip, but had to watch the kids..looks like Matt stuck with fishing this time and didn't take you on one of his magical voyages.

Good job on the PB and thanks for the report.

Nice one!! I have almost forgot what they look like.

Yah that's why I just left early :D Nice meeting you. See ya next time.

A box of cigars will work too....for celebrating and for smoke signals when your radio dies.

Been there too..and my luck is bound to run out soon, but the new boat is providing some good juju thus far!

Sundays is usually a no-no for me as the wifey has standing Sunday morn plans...but I bartered and got a sitter set up. Glad I did! Hope to meet ya on another one. BTW, Do Matt's Magical Voyages involve rainbows or unicorns? If so, I'm gonna pass.

Thanks, Ed...and thanks for the DP reports, makes me wanna head that way very soon!

Thanks, sir! That's just plain scary to hear you're not catchin'...yet makes me feel all the more lucky for hangin' the last few that I have there. Hopefully see ya out there again soon.

Nice halibut you got there and a personal best as well...congrats.

Your title really needs a change though. It should read "4-15 Cabrillo with a Kite Flyer, Radio Chatterer and a Champ."

Roby wasn't there but if he would have showed up...........

we need to get Frank out of his man cave on the the next trip.
