I'm going to call you Tim "The Rainmaker".  Wherever you go, you bring the drizzle.  Dave brings the Dark Cloud and you bring the precip.  lol

Nicely done on the turd roller.  Yep, would have been a better choice to go for rockfish, bt it probably felt good fishing for other stuff.

I can't seem to get any sunshine lately but it was nice to spend the day with 5 Captains, they all had different styles and techniques and it was a great learning experience. Pretty expensive Sand Bass though !!

 You had some bad luck with that line. Bad batch or just poor quality product ? Redemption will be SWEET !

Saltwater Boat Fishing Reports / Dana Point

« on: May 16, 2024, 08:59:13 PM »

 Got an invite to fish with Captain Dave Hansen to celebrate his Father's Legacy in the Sport Fishing World. Got to the dock to drizzly conditions and met up with the guys, got bait and headed out.




Made our way South and stayed shallow in hopes for Halibut, but they were not home


Kept moving and I got a Sand Bass, my only fish of the day !

 
Conditions were not good as far as water , Red Tide and not much current. Only about 15 fish were caught all day but we had a great time anyway.Got back to the dock about 4pm and took a group shot.


Hung out at the restaurant and had dinner with everyone to celebrate Don Hansen, it was nice. Got back home about 7:30pm, long day since I left at 4am. Hope to get The Cyclops out soon to get Rock Fish, why this boat didn't go for them I'm not sure but the other boat that did target them, they loaded up.

The weather needs to get consistent, I want SUNSHINE !!!

Your garden looks great, I'm off to a late start this year but I should have it planted this coming weekend. The gophers are tearing up my front lawn so it's time to wage war again !!

 Those conditions look pretty rough over there, hope you redeemed yourself and caught something cool.

BTW.... Did you have the "Long Skinny" Bad Pig hanging from your rear-view mirror?

No, but I am saving it for a special occasion, you never know when or where it will present itself  !

Years of wood??? Impressive pile.

Good luck with Dave. I hear he's a bit kooky, but golly can he catch fish. Interested to hear the report.

I've known him for a couple years now and I will say he is a nonstop ball of energy, but he has a wealth of knowledge and he has helped me quite a bit. Should be a fun day.

Nice trailer, years ago I would have been super jealous.  God knows in 40 years I humped my share of "Burning Sticks"

Yep, the Firewood thing is a constant chore but somehow it is satisfying when it's all split and stacked nice and neat, and you know you are good for a few years. Luckily my kids help out too, I'm no Spring Chicken anymore !
