I posted on this topic earlier, but after rereading the thread I felt that I had misinterpreted things a bit. Here are my thoughts. Kayak fishing is not a big secret anymore, and neither is La Jolla. LJ never has been. It just happens to be the best inshore fishing in socal and we fortunately have extemely easy access to it as kayakers. Boaters don't fish there because we kayakers discovered anything new. Yes, some may see the reports on this board and plan their fishing accordingly, but I guess that's the price of sharing information on the boards. PEOPLE ARE GOING TO SEE IT. But anyone who follows saltater fishing has known about LJ long before kayak fishing hit the mags. Boaters have been fishing there for a long time (way longer than kayakers have), and people who read the mags already know about La Jolla and already know about kayak fishing. You can't flip through fishrap, WON or PCS without seeing a kayak fishing article or at least a pic or two. I don't think an article about WCW in a fishing mag is going to have an effect on how many yaks you see a LJ.
I appreciate Paul writing the article and I enjoyed seeing it in fishrap, but I don't see it as self promotion and I dont think anyone else does either. BWE has never been about that. It's about providing a forum to share information and chat with your bros as well as setting up tournaments and trips to increase the enjoyment of the sport.
get bent,
