A day on the bay 3/7

Was a great day!!! My first time on a kayak. Had a great time. I met up with Andy around 6AM and we all made our way to Monterey. (I did have to run back home to get my bait I forgot) There was 8 of us total out there I think. Once we got out on the water it was easy. Water was very calm and weather was nice. My big game is slower moving than I thought it would be. The fishing was just as fun as I knew it would be. I couldn't have asked for a better group of guys! Thank you all! Now don't get any big heads. (I"m going to tell my wife you all were a bunch of low life, trailer trash, bottom feeders! She'll say that was good. Now I would have guys to look up to) The fishing was good. I got a few dabs and mackerels. I also learned how to get my lines tangled while trolling. That sure wasted some time. But another lesson. Coming in was slow but my shoulder held up. Andy cooked up a load of goodies. lots of food and laughs on the beach. I didn't take the camera with me so I have no pics to share. Now that I have my feet wet I guess I will feel better about bringing more toys and a camera. I promise next time I'll have pics. I had to head back early so I could do meds on my dad and his dog. The rest of the guys have pic and will post soon. It was a good day with good people! Thank you all. I hope to meet more of you in the days and weeks ahead. I will be dreaming of the season opening tonight.

going to want even more. See you on the water soon.

Right on, Phillip!  You're all stoked on it now.  The Madness is taking over...   

Sounds like a great hook-up and day on the water.  BTW, your screen name is COOL...even if I can't pronounce it.

Holy smokes what A blast we had yesterday!!!! The conditions were awsome!! Met up with the boys @ MBK parking lot in the AM, Alshobieoutback,Ebyekewabjeget,(Do not try to say that three times in A row!!! ) Stogie, MonsterGuppy, Myself and son Kristopher. Yestrday was an extra special trip because we had two first time Ocen fishers!! Ebye, and Kristopher AKA Cochino! The bite was steady lots of fish. After being onthe water for A couple of hours Ben and his son Joel decided to show up.Sorry you two didnt make it to the shore lunch! Didnt even get to say see ya. My artery style lunch probably had you scared!! ..My son had A blast and kept up with us pretty good. He got A seriouse workout! Epic time with epic people,cant wait to do it again..... Andy.

Great job guys. Way to show the newbs how to do it. This is what ncka is all about. I've never met a kinder, more generous group of folks. Gawd I love ncka.

Thanks for the report. Keeps me sane when I  can't go fishing.

Any luck on the crabbing?

Good job guys! Wish I could've been there. Thanks for the reports.

Great report. Good to see so many NCKA hook ups & outings with the nice weather this weekend. 

Awesome, awesome day

Phillip looked like a pro out there for a new.
Kristopher did an awesome job keeping up and I think caught the first fish!

Alshobieoutback was as always a great companion on the water and caught the biggest dabs ( and the smallest). Rick was back to his old fishing weight after the long pregnacy congrats on the daughter.

The fishing was a blast especially the 5 blue rockfish on all 5 sabiki hooks at once!
The verm I caught on the same lightweight rig with 8 on test was fun.

I am going to take some lightweight stuff when rockfish opens. It is so much more fun to hook a pig on that instead of the meat sticks we ususaal take out there.

A special thanks to andy fir the legendary beach cookout after.
You da man

Looking forward to many trips with you all

Got a late start to the day but had a great time once we were on the water. Launched from San Carlos. Caught a couple dabs and macs. Planned on making the shore lunch but made the mistake of swinging by the house to change before going to MBK, wife had other plans . Won't miss the next one though . Here's a few photos from the water



 

Sweet ride Kristopher! Glad to see the great white shark has some mojo left in her.
