Coach Steve-O!!!

I know other guys kayak fished before I did here in NorCal.  One old Italian guy I used to fish with would skip school when he was a kid, and paddle his wood and canvas kayak up to Natural Bridges.  He stashed the yak under the wharf... those were the days.  The truant officer was Emo at that time.  Later, Emo was the long-time skipper of the New Holiday II out of Tom's Landing in SC.

For the first year or two I saw zero kayak fishers out in Monterey Bay. Then I met Brian Gardner on the water one day. (Mr Green Jeans) or is it Blue Jeans??  anyway.  1st kayak fishing friend. 

Second guy I met was Steve-O.  He was skiff fishing and caught two 30-pound halibut pretty much right next to me as I got skunked.  I had to paddle over and see what was he doing I wasn't.  He told me then "I'm really a kayak fisherman!"  On the skiff that day with his brother. So we made a date.

Steve and I fished together 1st time at Garrapata Beach near big Sur.  That is a whole different tale, but culminates in our "discovery" of Stillwater Cove in Carmel. Steve also hosted me for multiple attempts at sturgeon and stripers in San Pablo Bay which he knows like the back of his hand.

Just putting this all out there so newbies and middle-be's get an accurate idea about Steve and his fundamental place in NCKA.  True OG!!!!  And, still my friend you bet!
