Okay, so I have been practicing swimming at the Y with my 40 ft aluminum ladder, in my wetsuit, so I think I can make it out to that far off rock. I still have not figured out how to A. Open the ladder B. extend the ladder and C. climb the ladder as the water is 20+ ft deep there and the "atoll" i want to fish off is 35ft off the water . I really don't want to skish.

How would you fish this spot if you came across it?

There is an award for whoever can guess this spot.

Big Sur, CA?
Good luck with that. Maybe pole vault out instead

Being the klutzy ba$tard that I am, there is no doubt I would approach it by tumbling down that slope in the background.

sometimes you have to ask yourself is it really worth taking a chance of getting hurt or worse yet dying.
great ideas need landing gear as well as wings to fly.

Feed Redlite 4 Red Bulls, hand him a rope, and tell him his chew is on top of the rock...

With an appropriate body retrieval system and your next of kin info written on your arm with a Sharpie -

Sort of makes me happy that I'm too old to be that stupid anymore...although there are witnesses to some of my past escapades...:hihi:

Whoever said Oregon, I second that. Looks like Washington or Oregon coastline.

Me. I read an article about a couple who were walking the beach in Oregon. He took his girlfriend to Proposal Rock and they stood on the rock. As he was on his knee, a wave came and swept her off the rock. He survived. Guess it wasn't meant to be.

Close enough. It is from Trinidad CA, couple hundred miles north of Big Sur. Wish it was on east coast.

RIRockhound PM me your address and I'll send you out an Afterhours Polaris Popper.
