9/15/07 **FNN BOYZ @ CORONADO'S**

[k3vin_kim]

Woke up at 2:15AM this morning to meet up with...
FunJunkie74 (Joe)
Ymin72 (Mike)
SOSO FRESH (Danny)
ChristianMetalHead (Brad)
LA Smoker (Bob)
Terry

We met up at Seaforth to fish together on the 3/4 to the Coronado's.
Boat was the San Diego. 56 anglers total on the boat. Bait was Baby Sardines for chum and med/large Sardines for flyline and dropper loop.

First, we all met up at the landing and signed up. Everyone had coffee at the cafe and I had the ham and eggs (I love that cafe).

Once Boarded and settled in, we played some hold 'em and I destroyed Brad and Terry on the first hand going ALL IN on a King/10 two pair. (Sorry about the smaller King/3 two pair Brad!) But then I eventually lost to LA Smoker.

(Did you have the eight? Huh? Did you have the eight? Huh? Did you have the eight? Huh? --- LOL) Bob won $9.

Anyways, when we get to the islands and the boat engine slows down for the first time... which is an adreneline pumping feeling (as we all know), everyone grabs their sticks and throw for the slide. SOSOFRESH was THE FIRST one of the day to get hit and landed a nice 5 pound Boner using a Lucky Craft silver hardbait. Terry hooked up almost at the same time as Danny and he landed an equally nice Bone using a chartruese 4 inch butterfly with a single golden stinger hook.

The fishing was great today. It's been the norm these last couple of weeks to hear those ugly words... "you should have been here yesterday". You were either getting bumped on jigs or hit on bait. The harsh reality of it set in when you realized there were 55 other guys on the boat. Fishing on the starboard and port stern was pretty ugly. You couldn't wind in without bringing 4 or 5 other lines with yours.

For this reason, I decided to go to the bottom for some rockfish... Lingcod in particular. It took about 3 stops but I finally pulled up a Ling using a 5oz torpedo and a 2/0 ringed owner hook and a plump sardine. Unfortunately it wasn't legal but I was content after landing him.

In total we stopped approx. 8 times around the Islands. Some of the islands were parking lots for party boats and private boats alike. There were about 8-9 YT's landed. The FNN guys gave it our all but just couldn't manage to even get bit. The JP went to a 22 pound YT.

The great news is that Nobody on FNN skunked. All 7 of us had Bonitos or Bass to take home (NICE GRADE). SLATER (Brad) ACTUALLY DIDN'T CATCH A MACKERAL TODAY~!!! The weather and fishing conditions were nice.

Long story short... I'll recap today quickstyle from k3vin_kim's perspective...

Happy to see newcomer SOSOFRESH join us.
I recieved a banana as a practical joke.
The weather was great.
The crew was... Okay (Steve is a good DH)
Boat was Huge 85+ ft.
I caught a bird.
Some guy ate banana's on the boat.
Bob decapitated a sardine with his teeth.
A bird crapped on my leg.
Had many laughs.
THE END.

total count for k3vin_kim...
2 Chuckle heads
2 Bonito
1 Short Ling
1 Red Snapper
1 Seagull

[SanDimasLMB]

What was the final count for you k3v?

Looks like boners WFO for everyone.

Nice report BTW :thumb:

[halo16]

k3vin_kim,

Thanks for another cool report :) , like how you captured all the key moments on the trip. The jackpot contender picture looked like the winner to me must of been close.. hope to fish with you all sometime soon.

Another random banana guy on board, its like they know. (strange lol.)

Good going on all the fish caught
Looks like you guys had another great time!

[k3vin_kim]

c'mon Krundoh~! read the whole report man. It's the last thing you see b4 you get to the pictures. Anyways, when are you coming out again?

Halo- Thanks dude. How come you haven't fished with us yet? I'll PM my cell so we can hit the salt soon.

[one_leg]

9 different species? Maybe 10.
How should I know? I'm a Wino!

No, wait a minute? I drink beer. And Whiskey. And Tequila. Oh, and also Mead.

Ok, Ok, I also drink wine once in a while too. It doesn't pay to discriminate. :lol:

Nice report! Thanks for the pics. I guess it really is good luck.

Hi K3vin_kim,

Sooo Was the jackpot caught on plastic? j/k San Diego is one of the 'down south' boats I gotta fish .... on a weekday.

Great report and pics. Thanks Great to see FNNers together to fish. As we well know .... just being surrounded by (insane in a good way) sane, honest, friendly anglers MAKES a days' fishing.

When you all retire and I'm only 110 years old we can go fishing together on the weekdays! :lol: :lol:

JapanRon

[Funjunkie74]

It was yet another great gathering of fishing junkies!!
We didn't actually get what we all wanted the most, YT :evil: but I think hanging out with guys that enjoy fishing just as much (or more) and having laughs is a good thing!!

Thanks guys for coming out and making this trip yet another memorable one!!

I hope these casual gatherings will make others want to join us on our ventures out to sea. Please don't hesitate to PM me or Kev if you want to join, there is no "membership" BS, just bring your gear and jump on the boat with us!!


Here are some additional pics.

Soso gets raped/robbed/and lucky all in one shot...this fish that eventually gets rapped/robbed by a seal was actually hooked on the side by the lure...had he landed it, it would have been a lucky shot by a Lucky Craft lure...

sculpin
whitefish
Sand Bass
Calico Bass

JapanRon... sorry to say but NO the JP was caught on Live bait. I noticed the regs were getting hooked up with the choicest of baits. i.e. small mac's and "hard to catch" Sardines.

Anyways, here are some other pics that I couldn't fit into the post.

[k3vin_kim]

Joe. maybe we should think about sporting some 'team 57' shirts?

[Funjunkie74]

Joe. maybe we should think about sporting some 'team 57' shirts?


Yeah, I bought a "Legends at the Vine" t-shirt last month and it is preserved as a memory...

We should get some "generic" 57 t-shirts and let those get all bloody, scaly, and fish gut stained, along with the occasional chedder cheese stains from wiping the manos!

[4g63power]

way to go guys...sashimi looks great..thanks for the report

[SOSO]

Thanks for the invite Kev. Had a blast fishing with you guys. It was nice meeting all of you. We have to fish down south more often! Got some great tips from Funjunkie (Joe) on how to prepare Bonito. The man has a $600.00 fillet knife. Enough said. It was a great trip. See you guys out in the water soon.

[christainmetalhead909]

[ymin72]

As always, great fishing with everybody. Pleasure meeting and fishing with you too Danny.

I was really hoping that one of us would hook into a yellow. Cant blame us for not trying. We had the whole water column covered. Danny working the top with LC, Kevin on the bottom with a dropper loop, Terry with a butterfly jig, and the reat of us flylining bait while fighting for space on the stern. Towards the end, Bob even bit off the head of sardine to bring us luck. Thanks Bob.

Thanks Kevin and Joe takng time for pictures and posting report. Thanks everyone for driving down to SD, even though some of us drove a tad bit over the speed limit to get there in time(CMH). To be young and fearless. I used to be like that too.... while back.... lol

So whats he plan for next week? Im kinda getting burnt out for combat fishing. How about a nice calm outting of bottom fishing and beer drinking?

[k3vin_kim]

I'M DOWN. oh wait.. it's my little girls' birthday party. How about friday or Sunday?

[ymin72]

sunday it is.... oh wait, you mean fising or beer drinking????

i cant make it on friday, fishing that is. lets go up north. captain hooks. ahola spirit. 3/4 day. i heard that the captain used to run the long range boat excel but grow up around that area.

[Funjunkie74]

Mike, how about a nice simple, Berth 55 chill session?
3/4-day on the Native Sun.

K-kun, will that work for you? Need a ride?

Kev, you will be praying for us on Sunday.......aren't you??
(A subtle effort not to let Mrs. Kev use the trump card...)

[sansou]

Congrats on putting together a great outing! Looks like the fish cooperated a bit too!

I'm a little surprised at seeing 55 anglers on the boat though...but then again, so long as the YT (and remote possiblity of tuna) are out there, I guess that explains it.

That picture of eating the sardine is disturbing. Yikes!

See all you guys around, and hopefully I can convert some of you into trout anglers this season!

[k3vin_kim]

Joe. Mrs. K3v, is not bothered by me fishing up North. (She thinks that b'cuz it's a northern landing there will be a chance at salmon). and she is a salmon-addict.

Sansou - Yes Bob is a disturbing individual to say the least. And good luck with the freshwater conversion. I'm a saltist.

[fish4keep]

Kev you sure that was bird ***** and not someone else pre ejaculating from all the fishing excitement...... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Looks like an awesome day guys....

[k3vin_kim]

well now that you mention it... when it hit the back of my leg, it didn't feel like the normal drops of water that you get sprinkled with when the deckhand is chumming so I looked back and there was nobody on the bait tank. when I saw it... I realized that I got splattered on and a bunch of fat guys smiling at me.

Osiito, when was the last time you were on a sportfishing boat?
Dude, I know you live in LV, so I'm curious.

[Oz]

[Baseballer44]

good job guys!

[Funjunkie74]

good job guys!

I'd rather have 4 pages of banter with everyone versus a list 4 pages long of lurkers too shy to jump in on a serious report!!

You should see what our trips are really like!! Our faces hurt from laughing so much!! AHAHAHA!! :rofl:

[jplee3]

Thanks for the report, bananaman... HAHA jk Sounds like you guys had an awesome time! I gotta get out there with you guys one of these days. You got my PM right? Blue Horizon, Islandia Sportfishing, Overnighter Fri-Sat? I guess you'll be busy this wknd though.

[k3vin_kim]

Osiito- We're going to Oxnard on Sunday. Can you make it? Brad needs another mexican dude in our little FNN BOYZ crew. And since Ron has like 9 different kinds of blood in him, we don't know what nationality he qualifies for. --- Makes me kinda wonder... IS GHETTODAD THE ONLY WHITE GUY ON FNN?!?!

Baseballer - Hey Joe didn't we see baseballer on the water at Catalina on his PB? Or someone that looked like him? Anyways, add to the banter mang, whatever brings more people to the post... might get them to join us on our next one.

Jeremy spoken... Class todaaaaaaaay. Clearly I remember... pickin' on the boy... seemed a harmless little...

Uhhhh... dude sorry. I saw Terry's sexy inner elbow labia pic and I couldnt help myself. And for the record, I wasn't stressing over a palomar knot, it was a seaguar. I'm not THAT noob. Just a little lot. Dude my Mom made me fried chicken when I swung by to drop off some fish for them. I was lmao thinking of your magnificent catch. Mom didnt get it, unfortunately.
