Karl we have caught Humboldt Squid Out of Moss Landing. I'm sure if you can find a canyon out there over 600 ft deep you will catch them. We fished deep because it was day time. |

Jack, I got a message from Carol at the Intrepid office today. She said they wanted to thank me for my services and being a "hero" (per Captain Kevin) and they are going to comp my trip next year. I'm pretty stoked! I definately plan on spending more time on the rail. |

DAVE Like you said its a sign of the times , but what they are forgetting is we arent getting anty more money , the people are out of work, the econmy in the trash can , so you raise the fees , I just think that JALAMA is going to suffer for it , I like to spend a week there , but now for 210.00 I may go somewhere further down the road , I dont think the state parks charge 30.00 a night. Oh well Ill get over it .By the way that barrie i caught monday was a HOG , and fought like a marlin on the ultra light gear . Blackie |

Aren't the 251's just Penn jigmaster parts. Easy to do it yourself. Bet just a little a clean job and some lube would do her good, and new drags. They always needed maintenance thats why I sold mine. |

Blackie, I think I'm desensitized to fee increases these days, seems like it's business as usual everywhere in this state. Pay more, get less. Still, Jalama is one of the most wonderful places around... As far as a fish report, the water down here in SB has finally cleared up; fished for a little over an hour yesterday evening and got 12 perch, all barred....a couple of dinks and a couple of respectable ones, with the rest in between. Fished the slough mouth area, clean and clear water, zero salad, all on bloody sandworm crack... |

Mike, I would back you through hell on sunday. I will never sell a Navy Seal short a bit. Had my tussels with them in my younger days when I healed faster.Just friendly rivelry to pass the time. Now, being older and some what wiser, I would rather throw dice than fist-a-cuffs at the VFW. Besides, it gets old looking down and hearing" you cheated!" |

They have the black sea bass story wrong. The guy that pulled it up on shore is the one who caught it. He caught it off the pier and a guy in a boat going buy saw all the people on the pier and went over to see what was up. The guy who had the fish hooked lowered a pier gaff to the boat and they gaffed the fish to tow it to shore. This story is more accurate. http://sciencedude.freedomblogging.com/2010/02/01/wild-fishing-inciden t-might-lead-to-arrest/84663/ |

It looks like the guy with the jeans on caught the fish from the pier and then the guys in the boat dragged it to shore for him. Not sure why he would have that big grappling hook if he wasn't fishing for sharks or halibut or something. Pretty silly...can't believe someone down there doesn't know those things are protected! |

Blackie I think you can fish because beach isn't closed. Do not disturb the seals unless they bother you I believe N.O.A.A has Information On what you can do if the seals bother you. I'd like to thin them out myself. Now for my question. Is there a place in this site, that tells how to post pics. We caught 15 Humboldt Squid. Their weighted average I am guessing here is 35 lbs.I wanted to post a few. we were fishing 600 to 900 ft But I was using an electric reel. But did reel one up myself. Hey Mccaffery what did you catch this week end? |

OK FOLKS I need some help here , As you know I fish a lot on our beaches in the surf, our club is fishing tomorrow , and one of our members checked out some of our spots , he reported that the beach we are fishing tomorrow has NO SEALS , BUT most of our other spots have lots of seals on them. My question is has anybody ever been told that they can not go on to the beach because there are seals present? I checked out NOOA FISH SITE , office of protected resources , and could not find where we can not share the same beach , it only said it is against the law to harass . I no you can not go on to the beach at the haul out by the light house , but as far as i read I HAVE AS MUCH RIGHT TO THE BEACH AS THEY DO . The way they are hauling out on every beach , you wont be able to fish off the beach soon . I won this argument last year on santa rosa creek beach with a park ranger , there was a big old bull in front of SHAMMEL park , I did not even see him he was so far up in the dunes , I just refused to leave the beach and kept on fishing , the ranger finally went away. IM gonna keep on fishing my beaches , screw them seals . So does any one have the real answer. Blackie |

Yea you got to be real careful when perch fishing if your north of the elephant seals , for instance windsurfer beach , is on the line and belive me they will check you out . Been there done that , there are no signs or boundry markers , LIKE THERE SHOULD BE ON THE SHORE , I guess they expect you to carry a GPS in your wet suit. I would think they could at least post the boundrys on the land , but if they did there would go there revenue. |

MPA is a broad term including: reserves, parks and conservation areas. Reserves are no fishing while parks and conservation areas , maybe. Beach or boat doesn't matter if is seaward of the high tide line. You have to check each area for it's rules. |

Hugh did you and Raymond get a pig I haven't seen him since I dropped off that electric pole. I saw a 350 lb pig out at white ranch last Tuesday. It was injured and staying by their storage. In a month or two it maybe eatable. after all the grain he has ate. the guys say they wouldn't eat it. |

I didn't realize there was a club for surf fishing do you just meet at the beach. i have never caught a fish that way. I have a surf rod but looks like you guys may be using fresh water gear. My pole is a little big 15 ft I tried to cast it and it is hard to control. |

HUGH Yes you can fish anywhere , and you may catch one of thoese chrome monsters , we had one of the guys in our club catch one last year at little pico , gave him a hell of a fight , thought he had a world record perch , landed him and turned him loose about a 6 # , the water should be clearing up , the club will fish mon. |

Paul I fished the Independence on a 10 day trip winter of 08-09. I think the only boat in the fleet that is nicer is the Intrepid. We had great fishing on the Intrepid which is alway a plus. The fishing on the Independence trip I went on was slow, but I would fish that boat again. |

Paul, I just returned from a 16 day on the Indy, we had an epic trip. The boat has 4 slammers and 2 of them are used to carry bait along with the 4 upper bait tanks. We loaded over 500 scoops of bait for the 16 day trip and never had to make bait except for squid. The fish holds hold 40 tons and we nearly plugged the boat, it took them 4 hours to unload all our fish. The boat has 2 full bathrooms with showers in the lower aft and one bathroom with shower in the lower forward part of the boat. There are 2 bathrooms on the main deck, 1 with a shower and 1 with just a toilet. Most of the lower staterooms are 3 man and the main deck staterooms are 2 man. The Indy is an awsome fishing platform but when your on anchor it does get a little crowded in the stern when you fish with a long soak. I have taken three 10 day trips and this was my first 16 day trip. I love the boat, the crew is top knotch and the food is awsome, I think I gained 10#'s on this trip. If you want to call me I can go into more detail for you, my # is 489-4309, I'm doing an 8 day on the Intrepid in September, then I can compare the two boats......Wayne |

I have fished the Independence. It has a TV in every stateroom and more heads than some of the older boats. Some fishermen I respect like the Indy, but I prefer the Vagabond. I think the Indy has a better ride in a big head sea, but I did get wet fishing the stern of the Indy. Fish all the boats and then decide. I choose a boat by picking the boat with the best skipper. |

Tina, I read your report about recent 12-day on Intrepid. My main interest in The Indy is a 4-day open on their schedule in July. I was thinking about giving the bigger boat a try instead of the ususal 2.5 day on Sea Aventure or Top Gun 80. Thx, PSM |

Paul, I have never fished the Indy, but I have fished on the Shogun, Royal Star and Intrepid. I can tell you that the Intrepid is a steel hull boat which eliminates the musty, moldy smell that you often get in the lower cabins with some of the older boats, it has a wonderful stabilizing system that makes for a smooth ride, the crew is very experienced and a lot of fun to fish with. Hope this helped. |

just received my new overhead electronics box. after all the internet searching and comparing prices, i ended up ordering a 30" ssi customs box. ssi was asking $600+, i was able to find it for $329 through C&M Marine Products. i was worried about the box being made of plastic abs but, after checking it out, it's solid. so if anyone is interested on purchasing one, i think they told me they have 2 more in stock and that's gonna be it for them for they are no longer selling ssi products. now the fun part starts |

PS; My example is a bit over simplified. To be accurate you would need the specific gravity of the boat material as well as anything attached to it ie; 1000 lbs of aluminum would weigh about 650lbs submerged. |

FLOTATION: If for any reason you swamp, capsize, spring a leak or etc. The most important thing, next to life preservers, is a floating boat, upside down or otherwise. You will be found easier and much quicker. I have experienced two rogue waves that luckily we saw coming and were able to take head on an power thru them. They went over the cabin and knocked us to the deck. Had we not seen them we would have been capsized or swamped. The weather in general was not that bad. It can happen anytime any where. Lets run some numbers on a 19 ft tin boat.I don't have actual numbers so will just WAG them. Inside deck area 16ft x 5ft by 4 inches deep = 26 cu.ft. (totally filled) which will float about 1400 lbs Bare hull = 1000 lbs Motor = 300 lbs gear = 200 lbs 3 guys = 500 lbs total = 2000 lbs This does not include gas, ice and all the other stuff we always cram in our boats. This scenerio does not mean our example will totally sink. There are other factors that could be present such as trapped air. My point is don't assume that a few foam blocks loosely placed under the floor is enough. If I remember correctly flotation required by the coast guard only applies to boats less than 20 ft. |

i had some counsel on adding extra foam. my boat has removable foam blocks under the deck, fitting between the supports. my idea was to pour the expansion foam into any of the small spaces the block foam did not fit well or missing. one of the potenial problems is if i had to work under the deck, such i just did replacing my cables, i would have to cut it all out 2nd) before applying foam i would have to line the hull with plastic so foam didnt stick. 3rd potenial problem is adding the right amount so it didnt overfill when expanding. i heard folks pouring it in without enough space or not large enough relief holes and blowing there deck screws. with these smaller boats there just isnt much room for improvement. still with the price being so good, i would like to get at least a gallon to have incase i have to ever remove my fuel tank i can refoam it in. so harrell, put me down for a gallon |

Most ALL newer boats have foam... Or they wont get Coast Guard approved... But it doesn't hurt to have as much as you can. And fill any voids or spots where things are sliding around... |
