Buggin - Dana Point 3/17/2010 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Stoneale · 03-18-2010, 02:34 PM

Was out on the water by 6:30pm. I arrived to my spot only to find a large boat had already dropped 5 hoop nets down before me. arggg

They were kind of far from the rocks, so I decided to drop mine closer to the rocks in front of his.

Once I dropped mine.. he immediately came over to me and started screaming and yelling that I better f*&k off, and not drop on his. My nets were at least a 100+ yards away from him. I told him that they wouldn't tangle, and that mine were far enough.. and to chill out.

Anyway.. I ended catching at least 30+ shorts.. I had a few questionable ones, but I just decided to toss them back which I am glad that I did because the DFG was in full force. He was waiting in the parking lot when I got back in. He was super cool.. and was just doing his job.

So, no legal's on my last bug hunt for the season. Below are some pics of my last pull. I thought I had atleast one legal on this one.. but no luck:

30+ in one night is sweet even though they were shorts.
very productive spot.

Playing by the rules pays off. Nice job on the last bug hunt of the season. Lot's of shorts = a fun night regardless. being out there is what it's about.

Already looking forward to next season.
