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.

I never went farther than i had to to get fish.
I had a 1967 20ft seahurter called the lady jane. I kept same name, that was an up grade from a 16ft fiberglass tuna chaser. It was tossed by the purse saners.it was all I could afford, but I liked it it had a cuddly cabbin you could take an afternoon nap and lay down out of the weather. The farthest I ever went was from mission bay to the 43 for zero, from there to the east butterfly for 14 albacore.The deck and box's were refinished in beautiful white fiberglass after this photo
