Coulda, Shoulda, But I didn't - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

FISHIONADO · 06-02-2011, 10:29 AM

Nice fish! The huge bait tank and bait rigs and sonar in the pics don't express a lot of confidence in the surface iron but the results are still awesome!

The Kid is not a one trick pony! That is him in the pic with Queen Latifa after all!

Whizz Bang · 06-02-2011, 11:48 AM

Well Done!!! What Kevin doesn't mention is that the wind was beginning to pick up along with the swell when he sighted the second Yellow's school (or the same school again) upwind, awesome cast given the conditions, and your placement in relation to those fish. Kevin also neglected to mention that he waited for DeepDvr and myself to come in given the surf conditions at the launch and I greatly appreciated his help when I got sideways. Again, well done and thanks for the hand.

awesome double! I am most envious!!!

I HATE wearing my prescription glasses, but the surface iron/sight fishing is making me change my ways....next on my check list are a pair of polarized prescription sunglasses. Who knows how much I have missed!

Solid Fish!

Kid....The best long report Ive read in some time!!

.....and the 1st one in weeks that didnt make me want to slit my wrists after reading the scripted post.....

Nice Tails....Nicely Hooked on the End of A Treble Where they Belong!

Legit Post!!!!

Smile a bit with those nice tails. Just because you don't have all those little girls surrounding you doesn't mean you can't be happy about your iron madiens.

Nice ones Kid!

kayakhunter · 06-02-2011, 02:53 PM

I agree with the Kid.

cannot be beat.

Awesome tails on the grind. I like your style.

Still looking for my first off the tupperware. I'd be stoked with one 1/2 the size of the smaller one.

erinoo · 06-02-2011, 03:36 PM

You da MAN..I mean da KID..Nice fish.

bellcon · 06-02-2011, 03:50 PM

Awesome story and fishes!

Here's an offer for you Kevin,
I will pay your entry fee for the WCW
you can pay me back when you get your check in April 2012

Surfdad · 06-02-2011, 06:37 PM

Way stoked for you my brother. A few months back I fished my 1st afternoon sesh at LJ with Yani and had the pleasure of shooting the shit with you and Josh just before sunset. Pumped to see you and Josh still killing it. You guy's are both class acts for giving up a few pointers to a guy that rarely gets the opportunity to fish down your way. Kinda bummed the surf has been so good in my neck of the woods because I really want to get back down there and use some of that knowledge you guys were so cool to give to this LJ rookie. And a big thanks to Yani for introducing me to some of the coolest people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting.

Few things in this world are as cheap as entering WCW; talk is one of them

.

Oh yeah, I'll be dropping off three more reels with smoked drags tomorrow. I've been pinning an iron to the back of my friends Tundra while he peels out in the Wal-Mart parking lot.

Because we all know... there's no fish in La Jolla!

fishjunkie · 06-04-2011, 01:26 PM

Nice fish! What is your favorite iron, and color?

Mtobolsky · 06-04-2011, 07:16 PM

Lol.... I was hoping to get more of a reaction......

Nice fish mang!! Way to slay um. I would agree that catching a yt on a "lure"'is hard to beat. Although, when a wsb bites ambit that's been soaking for a while several hours the change of energy level is pretty dramatic......I would imagine it only gets better when you actually land it.....
