looking for some one to show me the ropes in the kelp!

[Kaleb]

I did get a chance to take it out on mission bay today, practiced tipping over, getting back in, staying in a straight line, accessing my shit. That was the hardest part, the wakes never threw me off just the awkward places I had to reach to to access some stuff.

From this post sounds like you've got a good head on your shoulders and good judgment, if you still only plan sticking to short trips to the kelp, I say go for it. You've practiced for the sticky situations, you get the gist of it, so why not. This coming from a fellow noob, it's not too bad going out alone just mind your personal capabilities don't be too cocky and just have fun. You've got a better chance of getting advice by meeting someone on the water anyway. Just my opinion guys no need to argue over others entitlements this is supposed to be fun.... I think?

Hey Kaleb,

We're planning to launch out of La Jolla Saturday Morning at 6:00A. Bring some solid snacks and some water to stay hydrated. Also, be prepared to have fun and put up with all kinds of ridiculousness.

Saturday, October 18th 6:00A - 6:30A. Be There.


We're planning to stay on the water until

1. we run out of daylight
   
   or
   
   
2. we load up on limits of Yellowtail, Rockfish, White Seabass, lobsters and Bonito

whichever happens first.


PM me and I'll get you my cell number... or you can PM me your cell number and I'll call you tonight. I promise I don't bite unless you look like this:

At least your starting off right. Sounds like there is no stopping you from going out of La Jolla on your first trip. No doubt it'll be a lot of fun...if you make it out safe and make it back safe. Hopefully you can keep up with the more experienced guys that take you out.

Yellowtail, seabass, rockfish and lobster...?

Boy...your gonna have some fun!

Kaleb, Check your PMs. I've only been on the west coast for a year, but I have a lot of experience in the salt from the east coast and I'm in the market for a few new fishing buddies and do a lot of different kinds of trips and tactics.

Replied to ya! Looks like first light la Jolla is a go?!

[tacmik]

Go have fun. La Jolla isn't all that bad and a good place to practice launching and landings. Just make sure everything is stowed or lashed down. You may not roll this time, but you will sometime. Take some extra clothes to change into when you get back to shore as you will get wet. Good luck out there.
