Stupid

Yes, that meme is stupid. Going fishing doesn’t mean you don’t need to go grocery shopping. All it means is that you’re gonna spread the COVID that you acquired
In the Santa Rosa Costco to everything your dirty mitts touch on the way to your out of town fishing trip.


I’ve been isolated in place for nearly a month now given that my work slowed to a halt a long time ago.  Me finally getting out of the house with 0 symptoms touching nothing but my own personal belongings is not selfish you’re just stupid
To go on an out of town fishing trip (or any non-essential activity) is selfish and the act of someone who thinks that they are too good for the rules that literally everybody in the state is being asked to temporarily abide by.

I friggin love Halibut fishing. I dream about it all year. I have prime halibut tides for my favorite spots marked on my calendar months in advance. Halibut are currently biting. Am I halibut fishing? Fuck no.

I work in an environment, that at times looks too damned close to that picture of people shopping. And is now considered an essential service.

But in your mind, getting out on my own, or with my two sons, in an isolated area well away from everyone else is selfish?

IMHO, you can go eat a BOD.

Others opinions may vary.

It’s selfish (and a clear disregard for the SIP order) if and only if you have to travel to get to the aforementioned secluded spot. I didn’t make up the definition of selfish, nor did I make the SIP order, so perhaps your anger is misplaced.


self·ish
/ˈselfiSH/
 
adjective
(of a person, action, or motive) lacking consideration for others; concerned chiefly with one's own personal profit or pleasure.

Well went fishing this weekend.  It was an amazing day on the central coast.  Beach launched both days didn’t come within 500’ of anybody except a couple other guys on the water who were still probably 100’ away asking me how I was doing! Came home with enough fish to feed my family for the next few days.  Also did a dive and came home with some fresh mussels and a few scallops.  Was able to spear a couple rockfish as well!

a lot of you guys may be old and petrified of someone running up and sneezing on you I get it.  But don’t be so quick to judge us that are able to go out into public responsibly and stay isolated from others. 

You can be responsible and still fish especially on a yak and keep your distance.  It’s not like I’m going to alameda the the ARW and lining up shoulder to shoulder with dumbass’ on the rock wall.

Fact is I got a lot of scrutiny from a lot of you guys I’ve met at Albion.  Who I had a lot of respect for.  But Jesus Christ you showed your true colors.  Some of you are disrespectful cunts.  Not a good look to the noobs that want to be welcomed like I once did years ago.  I’m not very active because I had my first child last year but that doesn’t mean you should just bombard me with hate! 

If I was saying “WHO WANTS TO GO FISHING WITH ME” then I would understand the backlash but I didn’t.  I simply asked for a recommendation on where to get out on the water for the first time in 11 months.

Desperately looking for a place I can launch for rockfish. 

Really? For rockfish?  Why not just catch them from the rocks/shore.  I bet I can catch a better bag of rockfish yand lings from shore tomorrow than you would get in your kayak offshore.  Drive to SoCal for rockfish?  How stupid.  Drive to SoCal for yellowtail, sheepshead, or wsb, but hell no for rockfish.

I’ll take that bet anyday.  Drove down south got a limit of lings and cabs in 3 hours

Emotions are clearly running high a lot of you guys are really over reacting to us enjoying the putdoors away from all people

Whoa! A lot of negativity from this post!  For all you naysayers what’s wrong with self isolating on the water? Also I didn’t put any place on blast a kid who wants to be a lame ass YouTube star did by blasting it over every Facebook fishing group in California.  I messaged a select few like she asked and kept it discreet.  All you saying you need to chill are the ones that need to relax.  I’m looking to stay away from everybody by being in the middle of the ocean with only me and my kayak.  Nobody’s contracting a virus by being on the water.  Also fishing is deemed essential so go F yourself! Jesus

Hey guys,
 Been gone awhile the Santa Rosa fires really set me back and forced me to uproot my life in Santa Rosa along with a couple random deaths in the family I’ve been MIA.  I’ve received a ton of messages that I’ll try to respond to in the next couple days.  I appreciate all the love and support while I’ve been gone from a few of you guys.  Happy to have my life back in order again and looking forward to getting back on the water this weekend.  Pics to come.
