Dux 32lb buck 9/12

Blue....I'll go if you guide me  .....and If I hook and land a 40# salmon under your guidance...I will gladly hand you my kayak,paddle and fishing rod as I will quit kayak fishing and retire from this madness 

Mooch we went out fishing and you caught a 40lber I'd drown you and say I caught it

You don't need any guides just get out and look for them



gotta get serious here and get my work done or I won't be seeing the water any time soon

ciao

if anyone talks to the Chef give him our regards

Saw a couple of trucks on the lagoon road with kayak racks but didn't see any kayaks on the water, maybe they left before the fog lifted Any one else go out?

Three of us total newbes went out Tuesday from the lagoon. Having never paddled offshore in thick fog, we kinda hung inside the reef, trying to catch bait, until the fog lifted. Of coarse, once it did, the wind came up and we did not want to head all the way out toward the bouy. We found some 8 or 10', capping swells off the reef . That had my blood pumping.

Basicaly, we just flailed around like the anchovies we are!

Nice fish. Where did you launch from? How come you weren't there to hold our hands out in the deep water?

Man what fish. Congratulations, but looking at the Salmon pics on the Board, it seems this is familiar territory for you. You da man. 
I can only wish to hook and land one of those  I don't even know how to fish for them Flashers...Mooching...WTF?

I launched the mouth of the lagoon around 7:30 and probably paddled right past you guys on my way outside the reef You should've made more noise I heard voices in the fog but figured it was boats fishing rockies

If it's fogged in I usually aim straight at DR1 from the mouth but I went above and trolled down  It's almost a straight shot south from the mouth to the buoy

The break there is pretty consistent so next time just go between the places it's breaking It can be tricky in the fog but what the heck the worst that can happen is you take a swim  In 2004 I got tossed out closer to the buoy in 15-20ft break It renews one's appreciation for the terra firma

Looks like the weather's funky tomorrow so I'm probablly not going out til next week which is an eternity when the fish are moving through in little bunches like this My wife'll be happy Be nice to live up that way

Mooch, thanks for the pointer to the article. It explained a lot. Too bad the Salmon seem mostly over down South fo the Gate, but there's always next year and meanwhile is Bendo2 and Forebay Striper time then SMBs and whatever after that.

If I get an extra day I'm gonna troll out from pedro a few miles

I bet a dollar there are salmon out there but nobody's even looking

I always say, if anyone can do it ... and he did!
I know the tan problem. I have the same problem with chronic mask-face.

Great catch.
When I am sick I always lay on a lounge chair in the sun. It helps me sweat it out and the sun provides much needed vitamins and the fresh air is better for you than what's inside. Of course I wear a hat when I do this. It always leaves a mark when I accidentally fall asleep. 

I was wearing a revolutionary guard hat I got in Beijing  Keeps your head toasty but not good for much if the fog burns off

big line across the forehead

nobody at work even noticed

What color was the apex please.

wma but it probably doesnt matter what you put in front of them Mostly a lot of paddling and a lot of luck involved just finding fish right now

I'm betting next week will be better if the weather cooperates

Nice one Blue! I think I might hit the dux instead of bean hollow on Sunday.

Blue.  "baby room",  "baby room"??? 

Say it ain't so bro!  my condolonces....

    

so I got a chance to catch a salmon again?

pretty sure I am surfing tomorrow, but now you are getting my hopes up again.

oh yeah, nice fish!

guitarzan if you go the only boat I talked to with more than one fish was fishing the line from the buoy up to the point just outside the reef

I got mine there  about 1/2 mile above the buoy


yep jmairey baby room
