Bringing the boat back in now.  Fingers crossed they find and FIX the problem this time.

I pulled my bell pepper plants in order to get the garden ready for the winter crop.  I pulled like 40 bell peppers off of the plants, but half were little guys that were the size of jalapenos.  I looked in the cabinet and saw a can of crab meat that needed to be used, so I decided to make Jalapeno poppers with baby bells!



I made the filling and put a small amount of cream cheese in each one. 



Set the oven to 500 degrees and gave it a 15-minute toast!

This might have been one of my favorite surprises trying to concoct something.  WOW!



I can't believe I ate them all, but they were so good!

My shoulder has been preventing me from fishing, but I needed some fresh air.  Met my buddy Roger down at the bay for a little fishing and he wanted to show off his drone for a possible Prehistoric Soul commercial.

Got down to a super high tide, and the water was gin clear!



Arm started hurting 7 casts in and I felt the bump!  The hookset almost pulled my arm out of the socket, but I got him and a nice one to boot!



I made 4 more casts and called it.  I need to stick to trout I guess on the 2#.  lol

Roger's drone was crazy cool.  He had that thing fly a mile away and it kind of freaked me out in all the wind, but amazed what that little drone can capture and do.



Anyway, it was great catching up and went back to try and get some things done around the house.  Glad I got something!  lol

No skunk on Sunday which was key.  Funny, the water in the bay yesterday was crystal clear.  I was actually surprised.

A Shore Based and Watercraft Based record is a good idea as well as rules for each category. I have some ideas and will get them on paper hopefully this week for your peer review.

Hmmm... Some fish so far with no pictures or pictures with no lengths.  I'll have to consider the rules.  Ray Chavez's friend got a 7.1# spotfin in SAMO, but no picture.

In 2015:
I caught a 34# Halibut
Eric H got an 18" Spotty (I think a few people got 18" spotties)
Ray Chavez with a 108.5" Sevengill

Need to revisit this more.

BFT - I got a 210#
Marlin - Weighed one was 118#  (Big one was only guesstimated at 140# by the Marlin Tournament Capt.)
Yellowtail - As far as I know, it's my 43#
Soupfin- I'll have to check, but I think Dave (Where's My Beer) and I tied, but seem to remember he might have got me by a 1/2 inch at 79".
Bat Ray - I think it was Chris' 62" Bat off Coronado.  Mine was only 60".
Chris posted his Sword I believe at 210-220???

I don't remember what the Bonito, Cuda, or WSB was.  There were a few, but I don't recall any bruisers.

I'm going to do some searches on the forum to fill in the blanks, but at worst we can leave some of them open and fill as we go.

I'm going to make a Prehistoric Soul "Record Board for the website.  This includes all species caught and posted here on the website/forum.  It could be in pounds and ounces, or length.  If you happen to know or remember certain ones, please post it here.  The list will be audited throughout the process since that's a lot of remembering to do.  This can be from Boat, Yak, Board, Rocks, Bay and surf.  Anything goes as long as it was posted here.

Thanks for your help!

Finally Updated (11/16/24)

Here's a frame along with a completed one.  My buddy made his and now making me mine.  I'll keep the pictures coming soon as I get them.

I was supposed to go to a BBQ to watch the game, but life got in the way.  I figured I'd just watch it at home and unwind from a stressful Friday instead.  I was especially surprised my daughter came out to watch it with me.  She hates violence of any sort, but when she heard two girls were boxing, I don't think it registered with her. 

Besides the buffering... and terrible pixel quality... the girl fight blew me away!  My daughter couldn't believe how two girls could fight like that and then shake hands afterwards, although didn't like the losing coach bitch, moan and complain the entire time.  I don't know... I've seen intentional head butts before and maybe she did, but it seemed like she was just leading with her head more than she should of, but nothing appeared egregious (at least to me).

Now on the Tyson fight.  The most enjoyable part was Tyson's bare ass in the locker room.  My daughter asked if he's too old and forgot to put his trunks on. 

Otherwise, it was a snoozer.  I really was hoping to see a glimpse of old Iron Mike, but Father time is undefeated.

The 6# and spotlock will easily hit 3000'.  My reel hold 1100 yards and I had 1100 yards on it, but had to cut some off to accommodate the sword leader and line.  I probably have 1000 yards for sure, so I won't be fishing 3000' I guess.

That's what I heard.  We'll know today for sure.

Pete could set up a truck over at Fanita and Lake Canyon gate. 

From what it sounds like, they might have someone else already for 2025

OMG ... I'm going to lose my mind. Said everything stopped and worked great when I was paying and I got out of there to try and miss as much traffic as I could.

Got home excited to turn the wheel and feel it lock in place.

...

...still waiting

... didn't feel any difference.

Couldn't find any leaks on the line or steering at the motor. Called up before they left for the weekend and they said it was working before I left.

Now I have to take it back on Monday.

I'd say just my luck because it's just my luck.

Just venting.
