Prehistoric Soul - 2020
This has been an unprecedented year in the world and has slowed to halted many shark fishing activities during the peak times. Prehistoric Soul will be here when you need us. Read through some old posts and browse some categories. We also welcome you to write any articles that you may feel important to be here on the site. Soon enough, the sharks will return and we'll be back to normal, whether new or not.

Fishing Talk / Kauai Fishing
« on: May 02, 2024, 11:28:28 AM »
My wife is turning 50 and it's our 20th anniversary. I asked my wife what she wanted for her birthday and she said "A trip to Hawaii".... Not exactly what I was thinking and a hell of a lot more $$$ than I was expecting, but neither of us have been to the islands before. After she picked the island and resort, we reserved our time on Kauai at a beachfront resort. I tried talking her into an air B&B, but she wanted a resort.... Well, I most likely won't be chartering any boats to go fishing with all the coin I'm dropping, but going to do some surf and reef fishing to hopefully get a few dozen new species to add to my list. I would need 31 to hit the 400 species mark. That may be a stretch, but I'm arming myself with all of the little critter gear also to help try and make that happen.
Anyone fish Kauai before? If so, any pointers? Everything I read so far is pretty standard to how I would go about it, but asking just in case someone knows something that I might not have thought of.
Thanks!

Hey Boss! Congrats on getting out fishing and congrats on the Pike! They are one of my freshwater favorites, especially when they start getting closer to the 10 pound mark!
Good luck in school and everything out there.
Cheers!

Congrats VC on the win. All it took was 32" to win it. I still can't believe there were only 2 bats caught in 4 counties... Oh well. We're going back to the Time Change in March for 2025.

Salt Water Shore Fishing Reports / SNBF-XVII Mission Bay Edition (4/27)
« on: April 29, 2024, 05:31:29 PM »
Plan was to hit the surf as 3'-4' was predicted and doable, but Squatch made a good point. Instead of multiple trips dropping off surf gear and picking up the firewood and bay gear, just go bay. We decided on a spot that Tim H absolutely destroyed them last year at the end of April. We knew we had some satellite groups around the bay, so we gave it a shot. Bait and terns were busting everywhere. Unfortunately, the lines weren't.
Bendo! (Well, Sasqutch squashed my obvious attempt at deception with a behind the scenes picture) hahaha
Max joined us, so now we had 3 rods soaking... for nada. 4 hours for only little critter bites. We then were going to make the move to the Bahia and check that out (What we didn't know was Jerry was already there and putting a whoopin' on a big BSB)
Max did catch a rag that had a crab in it, so possibly a +1. lol
We just decided to run to the back and enjoy some drinks and soak in the sun while we hoped a bat ray would be around. We got to the Back when Jerry rolled up and showed us the pictures! Soaking a chunk of yellowtail, he got a 71" BSB! Holy Schnikeys!
Well, it doesn't count, but that thing was more than twice, if not 3x the size f the one I caught with Steve! That one was LEGIT!
Well, it was the typical meet and greet with some of the usual faces.
Jerry the Bat Man? Nope, Jerry the Black Man! He needs to update that shirt! LOL
Roger looked the same size as Dave fishing next to Sasquatch's rod and sand spike!
Steve found something shady in his cooler when he opened it.
All the mobile homes are gone....
The naked girl wasn't actually naked. The big lens doesn't lie!
Part of the SD contingent
We had enough wood to last a week. As Squatch said "You guys are burning an entire forest here!". lol
Well, I'll revisit this post when I get some more pictures downloaded, but not much more to tell. I had some tentacle shakers, but otherwise everything came back clean. Miles had definitely what would have been the winning bat on as he had an absolute screamer, but his connector knot gave and off she swam. Miles didn't leave his rod's side for the rest of the evening until they left! lol
Well, that was it. We had people come and go, but no Chris, Mike, Josh..... just a generally small contingent that enjoyed the food, beverages, fire, and conversation.
La got a 11" and VC won it again with a 32". At least it made the minimum requirement for bats! lol
Congrats VC! SD, we need to actually put some effort in next year, even it means no cozy fire.

That arc definitely looks awfully familiar.

It was a tough SNBF for all counties. Only two bat rays were caught for the tourney!
Next year, we go back to the time change....
Glad you got out and represented!
