Cute Fish, Goat Trails, the Beach Playboy and a Mandog named Ferrrrrnando

Wow! Great post for sure. Makes me a little homesick for my monterey county roots. My hat's off to all for that kayak cliff rappel. Way to go!

We paddled south and we paddled north. Those darned Vermiies were nowhere to be found...until

pic1~ this darn guy gave in and hit my "secret" teaser.

...I immediately called Liz over to drop in on them...I heard they school up....but, she got NoRedLove.

pic2~ one of the RF I had the pleasure of releasing back down

pic3~ the rapel.....somewhere along the coast

Hard Core!!!!  Definitely a killer group effort, (fishing AND reporting), true NCKA style....

  I had a blast this past weekend. When Angel told me to go fishing on Friday I never expected a weekend like we had. We fished Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. It was a blast and nothing can compare to it. Adam it was a blast fishing with you on Sunday and I would hands down do it again. Can't believe I went down to kayak with it was so worth it. Some day I will catch me red. 
What else could someone ask for: good friends, good food, awesome fishing and quality time with Angel  .  It was an awesome experience

Very good times...  I think one thing that may have been lost in all of the fun here on this thread is a "Thanks!" to my primo da Mooch and to his buddy that let him borrow the awesome pad.

I don't know how many other people turned him down before I finally made it on the list but I'm glad I finally did.

Holy crap....I can't believe I left that out!

Thanks again Joel.....and a bigger thanks to the XXXXX.


Angel, you're only on the shortlist because of me.....you're welcome. 

WOW guys! And Liz!
That is an incredible report.

I am just so jealous that you guys launched from my secret shore spot! I have fished from the rocks at that exact same spot about 15 times, no joke. And each time I dreamt about launching my kayak. Thats a tough rocky launch. I'm still trippin that you went there. StraightTrailBlazin! But now I have to try it too LOL!

Thanks again for teh report+pics+info,

Great report, you guys are hardcore.  I need to get in on a trip like that, anyone gonna be around this weekend?   

Thanks for the report and pics.

  Thanks for everything Mooch

Great reporting Art and all. Thank you again to the mooch.

It was quite funny getting to the water on Sunday. Liz carried various light gear down. Mooch went missing for the heavy lifting so I had to carry that prowler down to the water myself. Angel started asking about what's in my water when I carried the yak back up the hill at the end of the day!

Brian G
aka 'Bluejeans'
aka 'Horse'
aka 'Ox'
aka 'Lodi'

Yep, I have a new found respect for Brian.  That man is a beast.  He carried the yak down the hill alone, carried his personal stuff down, and then on the way back he carried the yak up the hill alone again after having carried his own stuff up to the trucks...then he came back down and helped me to carry Art's Marauder up most of the way.

I don't know what they put in the water down in Lodi, but I think I'll buy a few gallons of it from you per month if you don't mind.

  GREAT report, it was an amazing adventure reading through. 
Thanks for the post.
d.

...livin' around the same area you fished, got to do the thrice fishin' day at least once...

  Adam it was a blast fishing with you on Sunday and I would hands down do it again. Can't believe I went down to kayak with it was so worth it. Some day I will catch me red. 
 and quality time with Angel  . 

Glad WE had a goodtime out there Liz!....I too would do it again "hands down"

That's what it was!..nor did I report it to the fish counters.....Mooch told me yelloweye
thanks for clearing that up SC.

I thanked BrudahMooch "personally" upon my departure...but I'll thank him again, here, to make it OFFICIAL.

Thanks to the XXXX (nice family that hooked you up)if they even know we were there.
THANKS MOOCH!akaBigSpoon.....it was a GREAT PLACE to chill & fish!
don't forget my number when you get that pass again!
IcanBRINGtheDRINKINGwaterTHIStime!

You guys rocked it NCKA style!
Great job on the play by play Art. Really enjoyed it all.

Art, you are one of a kind (smart slacker latino poet bar fly fish killer? (SSLPBFFK?)) (that one of a kind part might be a good thing), great report. who did the artistic ferrrrrrrnando carving? a true ar-tist whoever weilded the knife.

I think Brian G is under 30, that might be his secret! But for sure any time you meet somebody and they say they played water polo competitively, give them a little respect is my experience. they might look like male cheerleaders,  , but they hold their own.

Brian G, my yak is heavy and I am old, but my wallet does not flinch at the pump, and my truck is big, so if you can get to my house, you got a ride to big sur, anytime!
