MBK-Peaceful and Plentiful

Well, managed to get 2 days of fishing in this 3 day weekend, The first trip was Cap and today was MBK, my first venture there.

Hooked up with SCALLEN who was doing a clinic with some very nice people. Got my boat loaded and ready to go. SCALLEN gave me a few tips, a new rig, told me where to go and sent me on my way, and of course he put me dead on the fish! Awesome day and I finally got a limit of mixed rockfish on my kayak! Nice, super stoked and had a very RELAXING time out there, water was PERFECT till the wind kicked up a bit at the normal time slot. Just a beautiful day. All rockfish, no lings, no hali's, but that perfectly fine i love fresh rockfish. The bite was great! Nothing huge, but some good fish in the mix, along with a few smaller fish, threw a few back too.

Anyway, back to Santa Cruz, cleaned my gear, prepped the fish, cooked the fish and FRESH fish sandwich's by 2pm with the wife, our 6 month old daughter watching closely.... Go a ton ore fish for monday night dinner too!

I had a great day, thanks SCALLEN for your tips and rigs and most of all your friendship and SKILLS! I learned a few things today!

Cant wait to get at it again!

PORKY

Thanks for the tips Allen, I really appreciate it!

The pics of your son with the fish, PRICELESS!!!!!
I'm kinda new also and everytime I hook up with members I learn some great tips! It was the same when I had my power boat. I couldn't catch more than a few crabs with 4 pots. Then I met and hooked up with a guy (he wrote the crab tutorial) and my counts went to getting up to 22 in EACH pot! Fishing clubs are one of the keys to great (and safe) fishing trips

oh, that's my daughter... No sweat though, its hard to tell wit babies if they are boy or girl sometimes..

Yeah man, I hear ya, great day and thanks for the input!

Alright, Porky, nice stringer of fish! I know you were due that haul. Location, location, sometimes that's what it comes down to. I knew if you fished Monterey you'd find the rockies. You had sounded a little discouraged in your last couple posts. WTG!

Congrat on your catches.  Thanks for the report and delicious pictures 

Mission accomplished dude! Nice shots of the little guy ready for dindin too.

Yay!  First Kayak Limit!!

WTG there, Porky!  Those fillets look delectable.

Like calbear says, Location (and the secret weapon rig....LOL)

Great to be there , you've been pushing hard.  Well deserved.

Allen

thanks guys.

Didnt mean to come off as discouraged, defiinetly not. A little frustrated sure. But any day in the yak fishing is a great day. Im addicted ill continue to fish on! Now i gotta get that hali. You guys have all been great help. SinCoast, thanks for great MBK tips too brother.

Awesome day.

And man, It is so MUCH more fun to catch a rock cod from a kayak then it is a power boat isnt it?

Now that I finally came down to The Bean and Linda Mar I have to get down to SC and MB and fish. The whole vibe down there is great. It sounds like you had a great time on the water. Gotta love those kids. My 21/2 year old gradaughter had fish tacos sat night and loved em'. Againg congrats on the fish and the family.

Great post, Porky.  The kid shots with the depth of field difference - nice one.
