It was a dark and stormy night, (really, thanks to the first big storm of the season). At times like this I like to go to the shop and futz around. I tinker with things and sometimes come up with an idea or two on how to make the things I use work better. I call on my inner-Macgyver. We all have a little MacGyver in us. You remember the TV show where the guy saves the world every week with duct tape and a swiss army knife.
Anyway, as I was tinkering with my new Hobie Livewell I... [Read More]
First Ironman, then Plasticman, then GULPman, now the "man" series starts it's fourth year! The real "Crankman" will be decided in 2009. It won't be decided by the biggest YT caught or even how many. It will be more like a scavenger hunt. Here is a list of all the inshore fishes that were listed for the years IRONMAN. The person who catches the most of the fish on the list will be this year's Crankman. Fish do not have to be in season or of legal size, just snap the picture in the water at boat... [Read More]

Since some are putting their recent personal best up, I guess I should too. Went out the other day to wet a line and see if one of those old ghost would swim my way. Got to the launch at about 5:30. While un loading I noticed I had forgot my F/F. I thought well it really doesn’t matter, I know the depth around there and it doesn’t matter if there is a big bait ball under you or not, just keep a line in the water most of the time and you’ll be alright. Had a greenie hooked... [Read More]
I have recently been inspired by whitedog and Moyer to go out in search of some WSB. Checked the weather on Friday night and it looked like there might be a window of opportunity Saturday morning so I jumped on the chance. Got to the launch early and there was no rain, a good offshore breeze and it looked like I would at least have a few nice hours on the water.
Paddled out along the canyon, made some bait just past the buoys and started the search. Dropped a greenback down to... [Read More]
Thursday fished Dana with Zed and Rossman. Was hoping to find the Halibut, but they were a no-show. I did manage to hook two different broken pieces of lobster traps though (a new personal best!)
I also managed to pull up a greenback, a queenfish, and a small sandbass on the same sabiki drop (also a new personal... [Read More]
