Its super slow on BWE... not anymore!!
 

Went out today to a parking lot on the inside... decided I'd head off in my own direction, good decision!! Got this guy on a light set up( Lexa 300 diawa MH calico special), drag buttoned down could only slow this beast! 30 min later and a couple hundred yards, I finally got em in the boat!!

Personal Best 36lb 42" weighed by the DFG chick in the background. Haha

nice fish!
 

Congrats on the personal best Nick! Beautiful fish!
I came in a little after you. I was working the inside in the morning and then around the corner, then I decided to try for some rockfish... glad I got hit on the way there.

Cheers:sifone:

That's a sweet catch, my brother and I were out there for a skunk. Did you hit this one on the flat fall? I think I heard you over the radio.

Nice fish! What is the max drag on the reel?

Surprised it held

Yeppers.
 

Yea that was me! Best fight to date on that little Lexa!

Congrats to both you guys. Saw a few others being brought in a few days ago, but a friend and me only got some short bites. Hoping it will be my turn on the next trip. It is good to see that the bait has come back in good numbers. Thanks for sharing.

Sounds like an epic battle, WON. :luxhello: Quality!:yt:

22lbs
 

It was a gift from one of the old school kayakers here on BWE, luckily I had it serviced with new drag and bearings.

Hell yea brother!!
 

I had your buddy Greg take these pics for me, cool guy, he's gonna let me know when u guys go out on the boat, if there's room!

:cheers1:

Ummm...a real fisherman could've caught it without the service and new drags...:the_finger:

I'm pretty sure I loaned it and would now like it back...:the_finger:

Let's see...I gathered this on all of your social media:
You bagged it...
You bragged it...
You gutted it...
And you ate it all on the same day??????!!!!! :the_finger::the_finger::the_finger::the_finger: :the_finger:
What The F Ever Nick-man!

Lmao!!
 

Haha, gotta put my work out there for my new " GUIDE " company...DEAMONS SALTWATER Charter! :the_finger:

Stud tail! Congrats! :cheers1:

I wish I could scratch a piece of your success Nick-man. Going out regularly...keeping your eyes and ears open...having quality gear for that moment...BOOM! Getting it done consistently. :luxhello:

What is meant by "the inside"? Inside of what?

I know these traditional names:

The inside is way point #3 &6# on that map

Thanks. Meaning "inside" the kelp?

Awesome catch! Still trying to gun down my first

I think Most refer to inside as inside the point or some would consider as far as inside of (The Half)

Appreciate it!!
 

I've done a lot of research, time on water, nagging the old schoolers, to remotely tip the surface of the bounties they call the " Jewel ". I still got a ton of learning especially with species like halibut and the ever elusive WSB. One of these days when my two sons get bigger I'll head out with you aka, Mr. WSB!!
:cheers1:brother!!

Inside
 

To me the inside is anything north of the condo, in waters 60-80 feet. This is were most boaters and kayakers Hunker down. I'm not really a fan of that area, except once a year! Shhhhhhh. Otherwise I'm always moving man, watching and listening!!

Good luck!

:cheers1:

Nice toad! Congrats to both of you successful yellowtail catchers.

wow thats a fuggin slug

Thanks NICKWORN. FisherPeople are always changing the vocabulary. It's hard for old guys like me to make sense of these things sometimes.

(Thinks ... "inside" means inside. What's inside of what?) [headscratch]

The infamous "NW Corner" always bugged me too, until I finally figured out it means NW of the kelp beds. Duh.


BTW, I know where the "parking lot" tends to be. That one is obvious. It's a place I prefer to avoid. Maybe that's the same basic area as "inside"?

I'll stop trying to dissect the meaning of words now.

GPS coordinates, headings and compass references are easier for me to follow. There's a lot of water out there.

Indeed, ...... :cheers1:
Next round is on me! :D


PS - just figured out what "Based" means, .... as in "Based Stick Man" (I would guess he knows how to subdue feisty halibut.)
OK, I can accept that one :p

We're all pretty based around here. As a way of life, it's not a bad way to be.

BEAST! Nice Nick, that's a beautiful fish!!!!

NICE!
 

Very Nice!!!

:yt::sifone:

Geno

nice fish!!!!

Quality fish. Congrats on the personal best. Thanks for sharing.

Enjoy!

Usually locations like "inside, below, above, outside" are purposefully ambiguous. When you are working an area and sharing info with other people, you use a general location that was pre-agreed upon, then only talk about your position in relation to an undisclosed reference point.

For example in tuna fishing you always hear people say something like "I'm 10 below and 5 inside" which means nautical miles in relation to the reference coordinate. Then you can blast out your position and only those with the reference location can find it.

I've fished LJ when inside meant 200' off the condo, and conversely there are times when outside meant 70' in the kelp.

Also, the true NWC is acutually south west of the northrnmost kelp edge. Just to confuse the issue further... :)

Correct. Logically, I initially assumed it was somewhere NW of the kelp beds. It's not. It's NW of the CENTER of the kelp beds, making it SW of the northern side.

With time and experience, we learn and adapt :reel:
