I noticed that I didn't see any "Local" SoCal fish on those walls like YT and Calico.  Do they have SoCal mounts in the building?

Well Mike!?!?!?

I decided to go and watch it solo yesterday.  I told the wife and daughter they can't go because they might ruin it for me, so I booked an IMAX theatre seat and went after work.  Totally empty theatre, but probably one of the best movies I've seen in years!  I really kept expectations low so I wouldn't be disappointed, but no need.  The biggest shock going in was Chris Hemsworth.  I for sure thought he was going to be the one part of the movie that might have ruined it for me, but he killed that role of Dementus!

I need to see it again as I think I missed a whole bunch of stuff trying to absorb that visual cocaine in one sitting....

That's more straight to "Lobster Mode" right there!  lol

How far away is BPS from you?  It's like a 2-hour cruise for me unless I leave at 3am.  lol

P.S. Stay out of Arizona, we have enough of you Kalifornia motherf@ckers here.

Don't worry about that.  Only thing there is a big hole in the ground and Meth.  lol

I bought it like 4 years ago and have yet to use it.  I'm pretty sure it's a 12" and definitely pre-seasoned.

I bought a Dutch oven after seeing all of your terrific food posts, but still have yet to use it.  I may have to finally give it a try this weekend!

Been a rough month or so with horrible anxiety attacks about being unemployed.

Pretty much what I've been going through also. Ughl

Saltwater Boat Fishing Reports / Re: Red Tide???

Yep, that's Red Tide Verne.  At night, it's gorgeous blue.  During the day, the real view comes in as diarrhea.

Glad you got out and it all worked.  I was wondering how the recovery was coming along, but getting out i the boat means there's been some great progress! 
Thanks for sharing Verne.  If you went out at night in that stuff, it would be so bright it casts shadows.

Just think how much cheaper those veggies would be at Ralph’s.

It's about the same if I shopped for all organic.  The tomatoes alone actually save me a lot of money ...and I don't have to deal with the beggars at the entrance and the lane hogging Karen's in all of the isles.  I like to call it a wash. lol

After the skunk fiasco in the morning, I realized it was going to be a late start.  Still got down at a reasonable time and found a busy SS ramp and a lot of trailers in the lot.

PB was looking great and got word from my buddy that a guy who rented his boat got a 50# WSB in PL.  I rarely go south, but wanted to see what I can see.  The only thing I wasn't going to fish for today was rockfish.  I wanted YT, WSB, Hali, or bass.  I made plenty of perfect sized bait in PB and headed to LJ.  Muddy waters... Red Tide....  Diarrhea....

I couldn't find any clean water so decided to run up the coast a bit to TP or DM and get away from the LJ flotilla.

Stopped at some locals spots on the way up to DM and caught a handful of bass along the way.



Sun finally burst through and the AF was conducting some low level chopper fly byes!



Ran up to DM reef and found a good number of TR's.



I did hook two halibut while drifting macks.  Both felt like I got hung up on reef and I just slowly cranked in hoping the hook would sink in.  I got one legal up next to the boat, but it was a 26" fish on 60#.  Unfortunately it was just a hitch hiker and opened it's mouth and just swam off.



Next one I thought was a bite, but felt like I was hung up.  I started pulling and it came free.  I reel up my mack looking like it was shredded with deep teeth marks on both sides of the bait!  Damn it!

Oh well.  I kept releasing a slow pick of bass before heading back to the barn. All the water that was clean was quickly starting to change to a TJ toilet bowl on a Saturday night.





So I took one back for dinner since he had a hook in his belly, but the boat ran great and it just felt good squeezing the last of the Covid out of me into the fresh air.

Thanks for reading and until the next Red Tide!
