MK execution

Awesome fishing with Big Sur commando (kayakito, e2g, sc x factor) referred by Scott. It is a great crew! thank kayakito, e2g, sc x factor for the hookup.

We expected, but, missed "Sin Coast", "rustic andy" with perfect ocean condition left behind. 

Fishing was great Sunday. We all had caught a load of fish. Each of us has lings and reds. "kayakito" had the hot stick and he was done with limit around 10AM. He had 2 lings too!

At one point, "kayakito" told everyone he had octopus coughed off a newly caught fish. Then, I quickly shot back, "I wanted it and gave it to me". He paddled over and looked at me with a question mark on his face, "do you eat it?" 

With this octopus I caught big reds, lings and oliver with almost every drop. In 1/2hr, I approached the limit. It made my day. Thanks, Ramon. 

Ocean was flat and no wind throughout day. By the time we were off water (~12:30pm), the condition looked still good. bites were open. Day like this made everyone happy.

The long drive & early getup are killing you, but they serve as test of your fishing desire. 

Eric

If it wasn't for the long drive down there I would be there in a heart beat.  nice stringers...

Uggghhhh....sounds like me and PJ were in the same boat. Rough night+slept in=I missed another epic Sur trip. [embarrassed and kicking myself] The 5 reds and 2 lings I found in Carmel made me feel a little bit better but would've much rather fished with you guys.

Thanks for the great report+pics guys!
PK

Yes you did miss the fest but we still have two more months to fish. All we need is a good day to go...

here is some more flavor for the report. 

Pic# 1: man that fish was good... poor fish... he was a good fish.

Pic # 3 : yes, it is wild.

Pic # 4 : Everybody got fish to eat. Beautiful!!!!

Thanks for the great report and pics, very creative shots. You earned this one and I am glad you finally scored big time.    Let's hook up one last time. 

Scott

One last time scott?  There is still another 1+ months in the season. The weather should only get better. Lets make it 2-3 more times.

Ramon,

I see that you're still using your spinning gear.  The next time we fish together I'll bring a rod/reel with a conventional reel for you to try out.  It allows you to go with a light drag setting and then you can use your thumb to add additional friction/drag.

Funny that you asked Eric if he planned to eat the octopus...  Then again it might be a little more tender since its been prechewed and predigested.

Gary

Got to love it when it all goes right, great crew, fantastic conditions, and FISH!
Slowmo and I were out at Limekiln (3rd day in a row) and were very surprised when e2g hailed us on the radio, didn't realize the radio coverage was so strong and you could hear us over that distance. Fun to know that we all were on shared water all be it some distance apart. Sunday was by far the best of the three days we were down there.

Heck as well as Ramon was doing, I think I am going to break out my spinning gear! 

That was cool to hear Rocketman and Slowmo on the radio, definitely adds to the community feel on the water.

yes, it is fun to hale NCKA on the VHF.  GB2 and I were once able to pick up ark from shore crystal clear even though we were 2-3 miles out.  Good stuff guys! 

Dang Ramon!  Good to see you tearing em up out there!  You're a KILLER!

Scott

Thanks Scott, I would love to get one more time or maybe two. I have 220 hours  of vacation time accumulated. If weather help us just a little with one more weekend like last one. That's all we need . Carpool will be nice 
Right Erik ?

Gary,

I just buy one like a month ago but I did not like it, I don,t have a good touch
with my thumb, I guess, because I got a mess a few times so I said forget it I spented more time untangling the line then fishing. Now I carrie it with me as a back up reel. But I appreciate your good intention. I remember back home when I was little I use to wrap the line to a glass beer bottle to go fishing  and a sling shot in my back pocket to shot frogs. 
great memories.

looking forward to fish with you soon...get ready.

Hello Rocketman,

How was your camping/fishing at LK. Maybe next time we can hook up for the
last trip to the south.

I would love to do it, let's watch the weather and keep in touch.
I just posted on our trip, had trouble with the photo so it's a little late.
