Lack of fishing reports - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

StinkyMatt · 07-25-2013, 08:58 AM

Hey Jim, I saw that grumpy old bastard at the launch too. That guy does not belong on the water, he can't even swim!

I bet it will take him years to catch a real fish.

Definitely folks are keeping things quiet. That's ok. Drake's reference to a school group project that every one wants to get an A on with only a few doing the research. Great analogy. I fish when I can, not when the reports tell me too. Who doesn't wish they could go more often? I caught my first kayak YT on a cold windy drizzly day using a big smelt for bait. Just go.

I gotta say that the squid all along the coast has added a new dimension to our bites. Nothing seams to bring out the territorial asshole in anglers like a squid bite. If the YT were spread out along the kelp line and off the NW corner and parking lot eating macks and surface irons like they usually are in July I'm sure reports might be different. Mike

The funny thing is some that are the most anti report I've watched them from the start. Catch a couple photo worthy fish and things change.

That being said. I don't mind a "brag report" rather than a "fish report". The one's that have lived their lives on the ocean can read the signs.

I don't get as much time on the water as I would like. I wish I had days upon end, money for fuel, and time away from work to go find my own rewarding YT or WSB.

I live over 100 miles from La Jolla, and that means just getting down to the launch in my truck is going to cost me a good chunk of change. A few years ago, that would be no problem but mine as well as many others belts have had to be tightened out of necessity.

What that means for me, is no trips exploring and looking for a bite. If I am going to head down there, I want to know that the fish are chewing and that if I do things right I have a good chance at doing battle with one of my target species.

I envy those of you who are close to a productive launch, and have the time to go out and find the fish. Unfortunately I just don't have that luxury.

I would love to go hit one of the productive areas closer to me, but finding anyone to even throw you a bone and point you in the right direction of a good launch seems nearly impossible with the current lips wide shut attitude of the board these days.

I think saw the same old guy on the beach and he needed a vessel assist in a race with the rising tide
