Veterans Day Carmel Bay

Took Andrew Goti out for his first ocean kayak fishing trip. Met up with Meat Hunter, DpShim in the early hours of the morning and set sail twords Carmel Bay, we got to the parking lot and what do you know? We beat Big Jim there. . We geared up and talked A little safety before launching out and heading towards many reefs out there. Was A great morning with some solid fishing for all of us. Andrew caught an array of fish including A cabezone and A olive. The weather was perfect! No wind small swells. The day ended good with us ending up at my house teaching him how to properly fillet A fish. Great times were had by all. Andrew and his father also bought brand new Santa Cruz Raptors. Yet to break although.. Kristopher recruited the young man from High School. Good times and Andrew is gonna become one hell of A kayak fisherman! Pics to come.

Awesome Andy!  Glad you had a good time out there!  And congrats on introducing someone else into "The Madness" 

So now that there's another "noobie" in the crew does that mean I won't get hazed and jumped in anymore? 

Hes still A minor.

LOL!!!!

Yes...it is true...but only cuz I had to detour to pick up my gun from bloodbath's house. 

Great seeing you guys at the beach and OTW!! 

Mikemcg and I paddled out to check three different areas and could have easily blasted limits of blues at each spot, but chose instead to just pop a few...

Also took one 25 inch Ling each, and I took a 19.5 inch chunky cabbie as well as nice Olive.

Home by noon to take wife and kids out to lunch and spend rest of day chilling with them. 

Was great diving with Mike and getting to show him around some cracks and structure that I have found this year. 

 

Sincerely,

Jim

ps...the BigYak rides again!! 

 

 

Great pics Andy!!

Sorry I couldn't wait on beach for you guys.

Just hold onto that paddle for now....sorry about it being fused...I left it together like a dummy...AB gave me info on how to try and unstick it (put in walk in freezer or under bag of ice and then pull apart) but just haven't had time to try...

 

Sincerely,

Jim
