I've caught plenty of fish from shore in front of the catamaran.
Sounds like a fun trip

Happy birthday boss!  I remember being down in PB/MB on my 29th birthday myself...

The boat is supposedly fixed, although I will have to just add a bead of silicone and it should all be done.  I'll keep you posted.

Meant to say june 29th was my birthday, I turned 31. Didn't type that well. I've gained too much weight the last 2 years to act like I'm still in my 20s.

Excellent news on the boat! Hopefully just in time for this south wind to calm down and let the pelagics burst onto the scene. A spear guy recorded yellows and a mahi under a local paddy...

Covered a ton of ground! Looks like a great time.

Also heard Carp. I'll be hitting Big Bear Lake for some this holiday weekend.

The carp I saw jumping out of the water might have body armor they were so big.  I'll be renting some cabins in a few weeks and will be sure to try and catch one of those bruisers!

Well, I found a "buddy of a buddy" willing to fix the boat.  Unfortunately, the supplies he had me order too a week+ to get here since it could only be shipped via ground transportation. I feel like they might have skimped a bit, but was assured it will be good for another 16 years.  All I have to do is throw a bead of silicone around some of the edges. 

I'm picking it up today and running it home during my lunch break.  My boatless driveway has been a sorrowful sight these last few weeks.  Now I only hope to get out there and catch something, although the deepwater rockfishing will be closed by the time I launch it.

Dude, I have to make time to get up there.  That looks like such a cool place to spend some down time and fishing!  The hardest part will be talking my wife into it since she always wants to use vacation where there are warm beaches and palm trees.

Some really cool stops along the way!  I love seeing that old stuff and makes me feel like I should bring my metal detector up there.

BTW... Just buy her the 'Toon already!   lol
