Big Sure 7/15

Always play "safe"

Really nice limit there, Alex. Too bad about the dunkings and the lost stuff. I'm hoping my first post-surf-class launch goes better, but we'll see. Was the surf much bigger than what we practiced in at MBK?

Andy

The surf wasn't much bigger, just more of a dumping wave and cobbles on the beach.As always,timing, commitment and good judgment required.

I see a trend here. Get in all the fishing you can before.....
 

I wouldn't doubt you did the same thing on the week of your marrage when the Lady gives me the go ahead I don't ask questions I just go disappear. Just like this morning I went out early to Tioga road to see if I could get a stripper to hit my pencil popper off the serf... None this morning. I get to try again latter before sunset.
I'm a happy camper

I left mine on ice until cleaning them before work at 6AM this morning.After the long drive,cleaning gear and a heaping plate of spaghetti, I passed out with sore arms and dreams of giant fish emerging from the depths.

This was kind of like a fisherman's bachelor party.Great fishing with you again Alex.

Nice job Alex!


Cool to see you out there & getting some quality water time. 

Thanks guy! I'm feeling a little slow and sore today too. And still have tones of prepping to do for the wedding party .  I have all my family here for the wedding and all I could think of is getting out of here and hitting the beach where i could just chill! Man, I can't wait for all this is done ! I love my family but what chaos! Whooo...

Thanks Aaron, that trip down to big sure was the best bachalore party ever

Inspiring photos!
 All that red was beautiful!
And as for the dunk....well I gotta defer to the great Evander Holyfield when he said;
 "Ya gotta eat a few punches to get inside."
EWvery dunk makes us better.
 If ever people have a chance....play in the surf with your kayak with a wetsuit on.
Do a dozen or so mounts/dismounts in a row and you'll have a year of experience in 20 minutes.
Way to go long and prove to the wife that its worth the gas!

Nice catch!   

This was a great crew with lots of experience and great attitudes all around.Although someone should have taken my safety/surf class.

Sorry about the baptisms Alex and I'm glad you and Bear were able to find us in the pea soup fog.

We got back to the landing not a moment too soon, as the incoming tide was swallowing the beach and cutting off our portage around the point.We topped off the session with a fun beach chill and plenty of "safety meetings" on the beach. Good times with an awesome crew.NCKA rules!

Uh yeah. I have been whomped enough in the surf down there to know that there is no substitute for training from a certified instructor like yourself and practice every year. Thanks for the excellent class which is not just for newbies. PM me or Etienne if you are fishing on Saturday.
