Horseshoe: A few came and the challenge was met

 You guys are tough hombres. Should be an ironman medal given out for meeting the horseshoe challenge!!

a kea, one rod, and a small baggie of tackle. Less is more! Way to hump it boys!

That's pretty cool adventure, guys. Great motivation to get out there!

WOW!  WTHumpIT!!  I hope to try that after this MLPA (*CRAP) falls apart and we can do it whenever R.Black makes the call.........Good cause and thanks for the Port&Pics!

I love the positive outlook!

You guys are my hero, next time count me in I just need someone to loan me yak for that day, since mine is way too heavy!! I dont think I can paddle after carrying that on the trail...

Man, how frigging brutal is that!  You guys are studs.  I think I'd have to be dropped off at the hospital after that.  Break out the painkillers.  Nice work dudes. 

Jeez, I have a hard time carrying my surfboard down that washout.

Just awesome guys! The pics are really great motivation to get out there and "do it"!

Too bad I burned my WAF account buying a yak on Friday and then fishing BH on Saturday, or I would have definitely had a go. Count me in next time (better start training for it now!)

Kook

Way to go guys! I just wimped out when my buddy asked me to go with him on his new dive boat. I weighed the two for a while.... Hmmm drive up to that area in a dive boat bring beer along for the ride. Stop a find 3 9+ abs catch a great stringer 2 lings, 2 reds, doven or so various nice rockfish or  climb up and down horseshoe cove 4 times a feel  my ass dragging today. Well I guess you know which route I took. Sorry no pics but it was great conditions 30' foot vis up there and flat as conditons. That light on highway one was the worst someones head needs to be on platter for the bullshit!!!!

I think a better word for it would be that you missed out, not on your catch, but the kayakfishing & diving. jim

Yes I really wanted to go on this but we did take our dive boat past horseshoe and found some awsome fishing and ab diving on Saturday. We stayed close to Ocean cove on Sunday hoping to get back early but that didn't happen. Glad you guys had a great time. NO 10's but a lot of 9's by my buddies and me.

We saw a school (pod?) of Rizzo Dolphins come by that was at least 100 fish (I know...mammals) deep.

They were jumping, spy-hopping, and tail slapping all over the place. One of the most awesome spectacles I've ever witnessed, and easily made this trip worth it. Unfortunately they were just out of camera range.

I was looking for these dophins or porpoises and a picture of the Dall porpoise was the closest I could find. The rizzo's aremore gray. I got a pic and if you enlarge it and look to the way right you can see the dorsal fin. . Really high and pointed like a killer whale.

The one I saw continually breaching was clearly black and white, and looked just like an orca...that's why I thought they might be rizzos.

But looking at pictures of rizzos, you're right - the fins don't match.

Great hookup, Craig.  You guys are studs to pull that hill with gear.  Nice one.
