Birds of a feather... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

THE DARKHORSE · 04-27-2012, 01:53 PM

All this time I thought I was surrounded by Pelicans!

In response to some of the feedback, apparently, my original intent of the post was lost in translation. I thought the analogy was funny; and still do. After all, it's just a silly post meant to either inspire you to get off your a$$---or simply improve the flavor of your morning coffee. I'll be clear when I say you don't have to do, either. You don't have to drink coffee. And I'm not going to force anyone to go fishing. How you choose to live your life is ultimately up to you. Obviously.

Honestly, after reading it a few times now, I can't imagine anyone being offended by the post. Unless, of course, that person spends an incredible amount of time on the computer? In addition to that, my post had absolutely nothing to do with fishing skills---or lack there of, mind you. It certainly had nothing to do with having an opportunity to fish more often than others.

William, if it's not obvious by now, when I wrote Williams Syndrome it has nothing to do with a guy named William, specifically. Look it up!

Is it a fishing report? Now, if you can't find the value in the contents of this post, I really don't know what to say. Nor will I try. A picture of a giant, White Sea Bass, in clean-green water, with obvious line-up markers in the background 'ta boot? It's the end of April, folks! Without going into too much detail, the same exact thing, happens every year at this time.

I'm pretty sure a few guys got the message and managed to read between the lines---capitalizing on the "fish report"---with a trophy-fish of their own!

No wonder there are so many people upset...

Nothing wrong with a little internet / cormorant bonding,
but after awhile you must:

Outstanding report, er, reports Josh. Can't wait for the 12 hours of wisdom with you. I'll drop ya a line when it works out schedule-wise. And its always refreshing to read a thought provoking report.

Josh your post did have a affect on me. And I did get off my a** and went out fishing this past Tuesday and got skunked but did manage to locate macs for bait which was a first for me. I had fun just getting out there and getting time on the water.
Thanks for the motivation I needed.

hey josh always love those fish reports. always very colorful and insightful. and of course i know that there will be a beautiful fish or two at the end. sometimes with some very hot girls to go along.....

keep them coming: never can have too much inspiration in the day!

WOW....cant believe u got so much flack for this one....not a report?...jesus, that fish was not even 24hrs dead when u posted it, I can see the line-up clearly in the background (gps#'s), I see a sabiki and a bait stick (also a jigstick without a jig

) on your boat so its safe to assume it was caught on finbait and the lighting says it was near sundown. What else do you want in a report? hook size? line test? underware color?

If ya'll weren't such a flock of squaking f'n keyboard cormorants, u could have went out the next day, or the day after that or the next day exc..., made a few macks, trolled them near the kelp and had an excellent shot at a fish

At some point it becomes so much easier to just be a dick, than to share info with flock of ungrateful squakers.

PS. I'm diggin that bellcon bendo shot....HOT HOT HOT!!!

Don't be discouraged - and keep posting > it isn't the first or the last time
a cormorant will be squawking when pelican dives into the flock and pulls out a fish that is too big for a cormorant to handle...

Nice Don! WSB on a Jigstick?

I know this is politically incorrect, but as some of you have realized about me, I have no problem saying the old saying... It makes so much sense.

Arguing on the internet is like running in the special olympics... even if you win, you're still retarded.

I can say that because I have a retarded friend.

I got the fish report out of it as well, but I always take the "photos" and think more along the lines of,"He probably caught that fish 2 hours ago and moved somewhere else to take the picture..." LOL

But You can bet your ass I'm gonna put MY ass on that picture spot first!!
