Anyone fishing Lindamar this week during the evening?

Don't have any gear on my yak yet, but can't wait to fish off it.

Joe

So far the fishing conditions do not look favorable. Might not be the best week for launching.  Hopefully it will get better as the week rolls on.

I have noticed over the year that when we enter a hot inland pattern the water usually starts calm and then turns rough. Such as what happened over the past week.  As the Fog begins to battle back the wind kicks up and our natural Air Conditioning swirls the water and ruins the fun.  The swell is down but the wind swell will make for a miserable time.

Jason, thanks, I am planning on going to the tourney in HMB this weekend. I geuss That will be my first time out.

Joe

Hey Joe.  Stay home.  Don't go the HMB derby.  Lately, the first timers have been stealing all of the luck.... just ask Alex who won the SC Derby and the guy who caught the WSB at Linda Mar.

Chuck,

You have little to nothing to worry about. No experience, not much gear, heck, I don't even know which bait to bring for Mooch to Mooch.

Sometimes not knowing is the best strategy, I have out thought myself on numerous occasions!

If you can find some hungry rockfish, it almost doesn't matter what you use.  They'll hit just about anything.   Every wacky homemade lure I've used has caught fish.

The way I look at if if I am over prepared then something always goes wrong.  However, when I throw caution to the wind I get a good fish.   Here is the formula for catching a big fish.

Forget something important like a net, gaff or club. Usually you when don't have something is when you need it the most.

ie. Mooch. You need bait to catch fish. He forgets bait, borrows bait, catches fish.

I don't bring my gaff last friday, I catch my first Ling from a Yak.

THAT'S MY FORMULA  

On the Saturday derby, all I ask is that you all donate a piece of bait to the Mooch....and if you follow the "rules", you will not find a banana on your deck

I totally agree with Chuck   ....Bill is another prime example....his first time out at HMB last year, he catches 3 cabs, a 30 inch ling and a few rockfish.......just last week, Bill launches out of Linda Mar for the first time and the weather was perfect....on to top it off, he catches a monster cab  

Joe....STAY HOME  

Way to make the new guy feel welcomed.   Thats OK, I am not convinced yet. But I will give it my all.

Bill's first time at HMB.....

Holly crap you figured out how to post pictures!!!! What will I do with all the extra time I will have now.

I was suprised you fished with me after that  

but I did let you mooch a few lures off of me so that must have made up for me outfishing you!
