- Acceptable Wait Time to Report ? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

No offense taken Jim.

Part of the reason I made the post is because of what FD posted on their site a few night ago. It was complete BS and they made it sound like it was a wide open bite, when it wasn't.
-It resulted in 35 boats driving in that night to area where 5 guys were anchored up quietly fishing.

They even lured a Light Boat to the spot who tried his hardest with all 30,000 Watts of Metal Halide to no avail. LOL It was funny watching him shut down the lights.

I know of 4 fish caught and 1 lost - among 3 boats myself included. 2 boats were former/semi-retired kayak fisherman.

I was happy to read that the kayak community is still as close knit as it should be, considering the competition it is up against.

-I like to stay in touch - so check your PM's

Tight Lines.

I guess it comes down to what you want to do. Do you want to help people out or do you to show off your catch.

If you post on BD or Insta just say you caught your fish at Box Canyon. Most people that sit around waiting for wide open bites will believe it ....

Loose lips sink ships.....

Even in a hot bite, where everyone seems to be hooking up right and left, it is important to remember that fish are NOT an unlimited resource.

Recently there have been a few internet blasts on this site that described the past few weeks of fishing as "plenty to go around". This is not true and is disrespectful to the ocean, the fish, and other fishermen.

Post up your reports. Maybe add some details to them like the old school crew used to do. But please respect the ocean and honor the fish you catch.... it is a limited resource and deserves respect.

I share between a close tight lipped bunch as far as I know 😬 That we network in the week of fishing helps us stay on top them and what not

Maybe I've been doing this too long, but I do try to submit reports that are timely enough to help folks. Back in the plastic navy days you got fresh reports, but things have changed. Way more and faster on line tech and 1000X times more yak anglers.

The only reports I don't share are about squid. Squid on the coast bring out the absolute worst in anglers. I won't help with that. Mike
