Well damn.  Another G out of my pocket for a PRP shot and I have to get another MRI to make sure my tendon didn't completely tear.  Partial tear and I have multiple surgical options... Full tear and there's only 1.

Good thing is this second PRP shot really seems to work (at least with pain).  I was in pretty bad pain for the last month and within two days of receiving the shot feel a hell of a lot better.  I'm sold on the pain relief portion, at least for the injury I'm dealing with. 

Well, here's to hoping my shoulder holds out and the exotics come to SoCal to play!

The Square Boma was only 16', and it used to take Squatch and I anywhere we wanted to go including offshore.  A 15.5 Livingston would totally do the trick.

Cool shot of the Dink, glad to hear you sister has an interest in fishing

Seems like you should plant some tomatillos for a nice green salsa.
Pork chile verde, chilaquiles verdes, use some red sauce too for enchiladas divorciadas.
 Serranos instead of jalapeños for a little heat.

I could see you in a 17' skiff... a Maverick 17 HPX‑V or possibly a Yellowfin 17 CE..



Thanks for reporting boss.  I miss seeing all of the posts again.  Social media has pretty much ruined me lately.

I really wanna build a 15.5' livingston cat like that deck layout but more width. Standup in the front and subtle trolling build in the back.

I'm pretty sure I picked about 350 tomatoes off 3 plants just in the last month or so.

This batch of salsa went straight into the pressure cooker (and thus a different recipe)

So what do you think the white stuff is  ??

The best thing I can find at the moment.

Quote from: jrodda on July 14, 2026, 05:42:28 PMNice trip! Interesting variety. Glad the bass rod got broken in right. Which one is that?

We've got a 6 pack co-worker trip coming up next Friday. I'm hoping the bite keeps up or pops off even more. Very exciting to see so many paddy yellows along with a couple dorado caught very locally. I could probably get in on this season with a tiller livingston...............I shouldn't think about that. Save money for a little bigger boat.........

I'll get you the numbers but it's the big bass rod with cork handle teramar.  I forgot the number offhand.

As for thinking bigger than the Livingston...  That's the way to do it!  LOL

Get them Pelagics!
