Birthday Voyage from Two Harbors to Avalon - Page 2 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Podaker · 05-26-2009, 09:46 PM

wow!!!

I had no idea there was areas to camp/fish up and down the island.

They say "you learn something every day". so I guess I can cross this one off the list for 5-26-09, and put it on my to-do list!

thanks for the detailed report.

Thanks for the report and happy birthday.
I have wanted to find some people to do that trip with for a long time now but haven't found any takers yet. Looks like a lot of fun.

High temp Hotglue and a lighter same as used for rod tips might be a good addition to the survivial pack.

Sets instantly and can be gooped on to patch rock rash.

Great report glad everything worked out

The Rock Q is one of my favorite places.

I saw you launching there at Two harbors. Looks like a trip I'd like to take with my son.

That is one of the coolest reports I have seen on here in a while, cool trip. Even cooler that your GF or wife would do it along with you. I have managed to get my wife to backpack the high Sierras and trout fish but kayaking and water is a different story.
Nice job.

I had no idea that there were that many areas to kayak fish in Catalina! Sounds like you had a fantastic time. I want to go, too!! Eric????

ericko · 05-27-2009, 04:27 PM

joyjiggin lets set some thing up see how many people we can get 2 go ..Need time to get thing together maybe 1 month from this weekend

metalbob · 05-27-2009, 05:49 PM

Joe,
A small propane torch and a bit of plastic left over from cutting hatch openings will fix the holes like new. I've sucessfully repaired my FnD a few times. The torch and plastic are always in my gear

landwhale · 05-28-2009, 07:26 AM

What a great way to see the Island camping and taking your time to enjoy the enviroment.

The hole is repairable, if you check I know OEX in Sunset repairs those kind of holes and a torch and left over plastic will make it water tight again

And you're the luckiest guy in the world to find a women like that. To say I'm jeolous of the adventures you two have would be a huge understatement...what I would do to find a women like that. I had to start guiding so my girl would quit nagging me when I fish, it's helped a little, but she still scares the sh>> out of me
