We paddled out about 8.5 miles. Aside from the onslaught of dolphins and whales, not much action. I did manage to get hit by a fin whale without flipping, so that made the trip worth it.

Nice one Sherm. I should have stayed there, butt he call of open ocean was too great. Watching Patrick get in touch with his inner Ahab was almost worth it though.

If I wasn't paddling such a barge I would have gone outside as well. Still wanting a local dodo from the yak. May have to get one the buds with a boat to haul me out. Glad you guys gave it a shot. |

I apologize for the thread jack, but here's my story...
I was watching the two fin whales for a bit and they were slowly moving in a straight line, more or less south. I decided I wanted to get a picture and maybe a movie, so I got out my camera and approached them from the north. I stopped about 50' from where they last came up and had my camera ready to go, pointed where I expected them to come up next. Then a 4' diameter circle of water on the left side of my kayak erupted with little 1" fish. "That's not good." Before I could react I see what I now believe was the "chin" of one of the whales coming up from below the little fish and my kayak. It surfaced, lifted me up slightly and pushed me to the side. I think it must have seen me as it was coming up and tried to turn back down, just a little too late. I thought for sure I was going over, but I managed to drop my camera in the kayak and brace enough to keep upright. I'm not sure how... instincts I guess. The other whale then surfaced right next to the first one, 10-15 feet from me. The top of that one's back was about four feet out of the water and I don't think that was even half of it. I wish I had started taking a video right before that all started. I imagine it would have been pretty funny to watch now. For the rest of the day I kept seeing "whales" in the reflections of the clouds on the surface of the water. My heart skipped a beat every time. Yet another amazing experience on the water. |

No apologies needed. I wanted to hear the story just as much.
When I was a teenager I came upon two grey whales humpin away off La Jolla. These whales were rolling over in tandem and I got some great shots with the camera. We figured they were humpin by the roll of carpet sized protrusion trying to enter the other whale. Anyway....I didn't pay attention to the drift and we got way to close. On one of the rolls by the whale we got smacked by its pectoral fin (fluke?) Came real close to capsizing us. Scared the shit out of my buddy and we had to go in because he was freaking out. What a wuss. Did make me a little nervous the rest of the way in though. |

A little over 8.5 miles off the tip of the pier. The water never turned blue. It was greenish all the way out, I guess last week it was better. About the only thing not mentioned was a couple encounters with Mako and blue sharks, feet up . No sign of the right kind.

I had a big boil behind me on Sunday and thought it was a sea lion. Never saw any come up and thought the same thing. Maybe I should take my feet out of the water.

Nice yella there Scott, good seeing ya!!!
I was out on my skiff on Sunday to team up with the gang on a deep blue water adventure. I stayed and fished LJ little longer, figured I can catch up with my 75 HP rather quick. I'm glad I did. baaaaah. I heard the fish were on the opposite end where the Greek guy in a white FnD was fishing... I went about 15 miles out and worked the upper 9. I found lots of paddies but no fish. Not to jack the thread, but it is something we all think about. Now is the time when "offshore" moves in as close as it gets. Sure it may be hard to resist. Just a few miles further out West, it looks and feels totally different. Birds, dolphins, whales.... Navy subs... If you go, be smart. Pick a flat day with light wind. Have plenty of water, be ready - have all safety stuff, go with the group. Be smart, no one's ass is worth any fish. Can be a ton of fun. For the new blood - this time of the year, a few summers ago, 7.5 miles due W/NW from the launch on a paddy. We put the Minix on my skiff.
