08.11.07 - Larkspur

Met up with Adam / Fish Hunter and Tim (Tin)....saw a lot of bait under the bridge pillings but no stripers to be found. We met SteveS later on we we paddled inland to no avail. Basically we did more exercising and fishing than catching....still a better way of spending the day  Weather was nice and hot...wind was blowing us back as we were making our way to the launch site.

I predict Fish Hunter will be "fishing....or stalking" this place more often  .....Adam, care to explain "why"

Met up with Mooch and Tin at San Quentin / wind-surfers's launch by the Ferry Terminal in hopes of finding stripers chasing bait in the sloughs and channels.The bait was there, just NOTING CHASING THEM.
We did see something hitting the top at a few spots and i marked only a few fish the whole day out.

Great day for fishing, not good for catching. Good time fishing you guys regardless. Adam you got to show me the "secret spot" where you saw that big things. I'm all over it the next time.   

At least you are ther only one to saw some action! 

Sounds like our day at oroville. Good conversation, excercise, and learning. nice effort! Break it out Adam? Must have been two legged wildlife?

.... we get started towards the bridge and mark a few around it, but no luvin...........
word on the RR tracks was "the NCKA ambassador" was padding up they're way and that the bridge had BETTER BE UP!...and it was.

pic5~ the ambassador gets to pass under

pic6~ right past the ferry area is the backyard of OUTBACK KAYAKS, they have a rental fleet w/angler friendly set-ups.

Put in 6.5mi of watertime with my brudahs on a day that the DAMN WIND was BLOWIN EVERYWHERE ELSE.

No FISH MOUTHS WERE HARMED on this trip....and it's TOO BAD there wasn't!      
(side cry:jiggin them 6oz. swimbaits in the ocean and HOOKIN FISH is a wholelot funner than just paddlin for fun)WEAH!!

How do we combine these two post together?  MOOCH can it be done? (is it worth it?)

...and Bigfoot wins the prize!    a LIFTIME of MEMORIES(or mammories)   I would have taken a few pics to "prove my story" but that would have been perverted!....so i just had to break out the binoculars(OMG!) I never knew Mt.Tam to be so "scenic" and if i had stayed to enjoy it/them any longer?,my buddies would have left me behind.

The new location for this is in code: x-niceTnA(gps ordinance)

Yo Fellas,

Gives new meaning to the activity called strip(p)er fishing...

Good try guys!

Tin, you need to work on your East Bay scowl  ...

I can't wait till the fish move back in to that area.  It can be nonstop action when it's good.
 

I'll be booking tours, in groups of ten or smaller to the "action spot"  until that happens Chuck! and then I'll be hookin stripers on my way to the "spot"

no pics of fish; no pics of chi chis... this post is officially a tease! Thanks, my Monday still sucks.

(don't mind me... just bitter about chi chi-deficient Man Jose)

I feel your pain gelbyak....Tin,Steve and I were kinda worried that Adam was falling behind as we were paddling back.....I hate the fact that Adam does not carry a VHF...would have been nice of him to call us back to get a sneek peek of "the show" 

Adam, you selfish bastard 

"shame on you Adam...I thought your were a nicer guy" 

Sorry for not documenting such an event fellas.......I was busy downloading my MB-MB and couldn't get myself/ pull myself away to do such a perverted task like take a pic?  
....close your eyes and think Jessica Alba!

....will you provide binoculars or do we have to bring our own 

binocs were not needed! only if "special effects" are desired.
