I'm toying with the idea of purchasing a boat. Don't start with the "Money Pit" talk....we have had boats in our family since i was a kid. Both my brothers own boats and i know there is alot of maintenance and $$ needed to keep them running.
If i can find one that i like for the right price i might just go for it. I'm fairly picky with specific features in mind, so, it might take me a while.
Anyone in SoCal fish? Offshore or surf?
if so drop me a email or PM me. i'm starting a list of potential fishin' buddies.
Heck, maybe we can do a club fishin day on one of the local party boats.
anyone interested?

H&M landing has been a third home for me since I was 10.
I would be up for any fishing, anywhere. Name the place and time.
Oh, and if ya want some tuna that I canned on my most recent trip, let me know.
Dan,
I'm more of a "Salt Dog" I've never really gotten into fresh water fishin
I like to wade fish in Texas for Speckled trout and Redfish on the flats.
I did some offshore fishing in Texas when i was younger and with my brother's when the conditions are right for smaller boats. Nothing like off shore fishin'
Check out Davis boats in Morro Bay.
I think they build what you're looking for.
they do this boat with a pilot house and full walkaround.
Heavy Seas tested.

I'm in any time.
Use to go to Mexico every summer for 2 weeks, Bahia De Los Angeles. (sp) fishing beer, fishing, beer. Great times.
When you want to go I'm in... I know a guy that charters his boat. We can get about 10 guys some time. Don't know how much off hand, but if we want to organize something, I can find out...

I know there are more pressing issues today, where to sleep after that great turkey dinner , but if there is some interest, some feedback would be great. If you guy's have some thoughts on when to go, let me know, I will get some info...
More of a freshwater guy myself (not from here), but love fishing regardless.
Hmm... Fishing, Buckle, & BBQ. What could be bad about that?

I smoked some salmon a few times. |
He got it lit with a mini torch but I remember he had trouble keeping it lit.
Toke it, toke it out maan (Tommy Chong: up in smoke) Did he clean out the poo so he had a good draw on it?
Buy a used boat, let someone else take the hit on depreciation. I to have grown up with boats. My dad had a 44 Bertram toot suite!! ive owned myself Boston WHalers fro 13-18' at, and A grover built 26, and a nice Grady-White 21' c/c
I think the a Grady is a good bang for the buck, you could get a few years old walk around cuddy with i/o s for a not back breaking price. I think you should steer away from the outboards if you can, they tend to be less fuel efficient.
I know nothing of the west coast market for boats. If I were buying again id look for a diesel i/o in a well thought out walkaround set up..
caught this cow in The Race off Orient Point, LI a few years back 44 in, 44 pounds

Oh watching the paint is better!!!
You get the fumes as well...
Joe,
Yellowtail is a warm waterfish, I think we would need to wait until Summer or way down south.
We can go off Catalina, and go after sea bass, halibut, bottom fish. Still a good time.
I will call the guy and see how much, and ask him what is hitting this time of year...
I will have some info first ormid next week.

If you do offshore fishing you need at least 26' and if you want to go blue fin or albicore fishing you need the range of a diesel plus it is much safer. I fish the Red Rooster out of H& M in san diego mostly long range (5-14 days) They cut up 50 lb fish for bait to catch the cows that run over 200lbs.
Bernie
Is this restricted to "guys only"?
I'm a fisherwoman. I have been here since 97 and have not had anyone real interested in joining me. Hell, I even clean my own fish (damn catfish are a pain in the a**) and bait my own line.
I have only fished fresh-water including stream and river.
I have never tried Ocean fishing, but would love to. Of course I may need some help realing in the "Big Ones".
