Last day of fishing the now closed Scripps area - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

lowprofile · 01-01-2012, 12:04 PM

were you the two drifting mackerel off the point earlier that day right after i released my seal?

nice taco meat.

Aaron&Julie · 01-01-2012, 12:39 PM

Probably the only male/female couple kayaking yesterday, and if they were fishing in white kayaks (Cobra Fish 'n' Dives), then yes, that's us.
Julie hooked a seal, too. A great way to wear you out, if being on the water 12 hours, loading and unloading gear twice, wasn't enough.

Mr. Adventure · 01-01-2012, 12:55 PM

Think I talked to you guys when you came in, nice chat. Big bummer about the closures and everyone seeming to get skunked.

dorado50 · 01-01-2012, 01:25 PM

So when are you selling the yaks?. I may be interested.

lbsurf2ca · 01-01-2012, 01:28 PM

I feel your pain right now. Staring off at Swamis and Cardiff. It really sinking in. A chunk of my favorite fishing grounds is off limits only accessible fishing is by shore or spearing....this sucks

Billy V · 01-01-2012, 01:49 PM

-What the heck are you talking about - last day ???

The fish were biting just fine today !
-I caught my personal best Green Spot. Look at the size of this sob.
He is almost as big as this 5 lb. 4 oz. Red

I'm thinking about painting my yak black and changing my handle to,"Outlaw Ninja, night stocker''. I can't be expected to respect whats not right.

We totally agree, how are we to respect what's not right.
Ignorant people created this mess, and we won't have any problem if we see any of you fishing in these areas.

But, on another note, we still should abide by the "rules and regs" already in place by the DFG, like size/quantity limits, seasonal closures, etc. To that point, we would hope Billy V, that you didn't catch those rockfish on Jan 1st, knowing their season is now closed. We could care less if you caught them in an MLPA area on March 1st, when the season opens again. But, it's not in our best interests as fishermen to break the already established laws set by the DFG.
But, MLPA is wrong, and that new "law" for closures, as Yaky Yak said, doesn't deserve our respect.

Seahunterr · 01-02-2012, 09:48 PM

That area wasn't closed today, I fished there all afternoon

for legal size halibut. Seriously, buying a fishing license is only sending DFG the message you agree with how they are managing resources...do you?

When they outlawed smoking inresturants non smokers didn't speak up for the freedom of the resturant ownwer to have a smoking establishment if he wanted.
When they made painting your home a require a permit no one spoke up.
When they made bbq smoke a polutant instead of an attraching smell to the resturant...no one spoke up.
when your semiauto "dangerous looking " gun became illegal...no one spoke up.

so why now when the liberals here in california have run amok of your freedom do you expect anyone to protest for you.

Freedom ,like a mountain range, can be brokendown one grain of sand at a time....putting it back together is a far more monumental task.
vote freedom or shut the hell up(yes that means you fucking democrat voting environmentalist leaning fisherman too)

I said Happy New Year just before dark at Blacks. I think you were the last person to catch a legal fish there, I was the last person to fish there legally. That last day was like attending a wake for a lifelong friend.

Many of us attended meetings and rallied family and friends to attend meetings and mail in written statements. Would have been nice to see more Americans stand up for their rights rather than just complain about it after the fact.

Happy New Year all.

ya i was in the blue x Factor and we talked for a minute or two.

Arron, the second part of your post was one of the best I have heard or read about what the mlpa really means to the people of California and to you personally. Thank you. I have seen this whole "process" as a barely conceled theft of our public resoures. Things should get extremely interesting now that the "good ideas" are over and the real enforcment and monitoring begin. Our state is laying off teachers and firefighters, who the hell is going to patrol these massive areas? Mike

Uh, Dave, try not to be such an asshole all the time

Im buying around ten of these type kayaks (fully outfitted,pfd's,and all the fishing gear to go along).I'm spearheading a project for a school recreation effort to teach kids to swim,kayak,and fish in a small south Baja village. I should have elaborated more.

FISHIONADO · 01-06-2012, 05:15 PM

Lincoln really was a great man, he also said "better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt". Just kidding, if I saw you guys on the water I'd offer you a cold beer.
