Hmmmmm..... where to start.




That's my skiff I built.. It was a 14ft Western skiff that I modded into a 16ft center console for fishing offshore...I take it 40+ miles out both in US. and Mexican waters.

Above it has the original rig with twin 16 Suzuki's I wore out.
Here it is with the radar mount, a single V25 Suzuki Four stroke with a Honda kicker.


I fish tuna Marlin and T-sharks with it..mostly







T-sharks





Backside Catalina grey light


Mothershipping.


SBI morning.


SBI Kayaking


SBI sleigh ride


SBI sunset (headed home)



Sword close up


Marlin trolling East End.



Waves west End.



Trolling for Marlin out towards San Clemente Island


(Edit: It's funny but a few days after posting this I noticed there was a marlin in the trolling pic above. Here's the detail from that pic, and a image capture of another marlin taken from a video for comparison.....

........I not only did I not see that fish at the time but didn't even notice it when I posted the pic originally in a report back in 2014. )



Tuna Fishing South of the Coronado Islands.


Cat Marlin one of several we've caught on Steve's 21 Blackman


98lb YFT Bogarts Wellcraft.


46lb Albi Norms 18 parker


Big T Mikes 23 Hydrosport.


More large albacore caught up North.
A four foot long version on Norms 18 Parker (I've fished with him a lot)


Gang of 35 pound plus albacore that same day, these fish were caught out of the Avila beach hoist.


I've also got a lot of pics from bigger boats like the 56ft Ocean I used to run for Rick, but I prefer fishing the smaller skiffs.

....and really relish these offshore memories. They may be cold but never stale.
