After posting my reply to Ali's accomplishment, I felt that i left something out.. After talking with him, I left coming away with the impression that he is one of the new guys in the business that is passionate about innovations that will make our sport better. My day has passed, hears to the...

Ali Good going on the fish!! This is a perfect example of persistence paying off. As I told you when we talked at the boat show last year, it took me 10 trips to catch one this way.. For those of you that think you are going to go out there, drop a bait down, and wind one in, bring good food...

Are you saying we can't fish the 72 fathom areas on the "9" in US waters?

The 2 dorado limit was just a part of the requests he made to pesca. I guess he thought 2 was enough for his small charter boats, so everyone else had to comply with his wishes. He also tried to limit the sd long range boats to promote his Solmar IV venture to soccorro.

I can tell you about how the 2 dorado limit came about. Around 1980 or so a guy named Louis Bulness (sp ? ) who owned the solmar fleet and hotel had a very good friend that was at the time head of pesca in baja. Louis had a personal agenda to accommodate his fleet and she did exactly what he...

My son and I went on the Premier the next day (yesterday) and had "good as it gets" fishing for big reds and a few nice lings. This is a very well run operation and a great opportunity for some good eating fish while they offer this trip.

Bought in westport in 2001 for $550,000 . Invested over 1000,000 in upgrades over 5 years and sold to a guy that took it up to Alaska for $500.000. It was fun for a a few years, but it didn't work out in the end.

second one taken

The only solution that would not really piss off one group or the other in obvious. We need to set a task force to capture as many male sea lions as possible and neuter them like you would a dog. This would be costly, but it is the only way the enviros would approve ANY action on a...

This is potentially very serious stuff. With all that is going on, it wouldn't take much for the navy to close the island down completely to all civilian use! We should all carefully check the web sight for restrictions, monitor ch 16, and make sure all other boats abide by these easy to...

I have a very good sea anchor that I used many times on a 70 ft long range charter yacht that I will sell for a lot cheaper than the other guy, but I am in San Diego. I do come up that way at times. John 818-429-1940

I am local and interested in the stereo John 818-429-1940

The BFT disappeared about 6 years before the white sharks showed up in force. We saw 2 or 3 GWS in the first 100 trips and then around 2000 we would see 2 or 3 at a time when we had good fishing. You can check out my old posts for more of the BFT story...

sold for cheap sorry you missed out

bump need to sell now!

I just got back from running a boat up from Costa Rica. Long trip at 6 1/2 knots !! I am willing to discuss any valid offers

I just picked up a long boat delivery job. I am going to Costa Rica and get on a boat and run it all the way to San Diego, which will take 3 weeks. I am leaving Wed and will be around tomorrow. Feel free to come look at the boat at 3607 Kingsley SD 92106 and I will tell my wife not to worry...

I just reduced the price to a blowout sale number. This is painful to me but a great chance for someone! Come check it out.

Mike call me 818-429-1940

Check out what this boat can do, look at the new picture at the top.

1)I have done some work on production trailer boats, and was somewhat unimpressed with the craftsmanship. Some of the glasswork was done as if in a hurry to build the next boat and the fuel tanks were paper-thin ect. My proclamation might be a bit of a stretch since I haven't worked on many...

I have been reading your posts and realize you have a good understanding of the industry, unlike some of the other responders. The 2 fuel tanks (made out of 1/4 inch 5085 alum) are 39 and 17 gal. The boat tops out at 25 Knots but runs easy at 20 depending on sea conditions It runs at about...

Just reduced the price . I have another boat I am going to buy and I must sell now. This is a great deal, Just come look!

bump

If you come look at this boat, you will want to buy it. We can work out a price

Price reduced to 22,000. I have to sell this boat now. Someone is going to get a "smokin deal" on a great boat that should give trouble free running for years. This boat was built right! Just come look at it John 818-429-1940

come look at my boat I know you will want it, it is just a matter of price, and I am flexible. John 818-429-1940

Come make me an offer, I am motivated to sell.. I want to start my next project. You will like what you see!

We climbed to the top of that rock from the back side on one of my dive trips. Looking straight down is as crazy as it looks. Wish I could find the pictures

BYOB

Fish tacos

OK I misspelled a word. I am a fisherman, not a computer nerd. I challenge anyone to come to my house in Point loma and look at the boat and listen to me, and then talk about it. There is nothing old about this other than the hand laid up hull. You guys could learn something. I will make...

typical BD smartass reply. If you saw this boat, you would realize haw stupid your comment was. I have probably washed more saltwater out of my socks than you have fished over. Do your homework before chirping

No I am going to buy a 40 foot boat and completely modify it to my needs. I enjoy boatbuilding

These pictures were taken yesterday 10/8/16 rod and reel, heavy tackle. 12 miles off San Diego. Come look at this boat and I'll tell you how it was done. Price is now $19,000, a great deal! This boat was custom built by a professional boat builder/captain, and finished in 2015. The boat...

If you click my name you can read my past opinion without me re-writing it. Wire on your jig prevents MOST of the snipoffs

When a wahoo snips off an unwired jig, he dies a slow death. See my prior post for details

This is something that has been bugging me for some time. I have been at the helm of a boat fishing the long range areas for over 35 years and we have boated several thousand wahoo. Every time a guy casts a jig without wire and it gets sniped off, that jig loges itself in the gillplates of...

Lupe 1983

We fished there extensively from 1980 on and targeted the big blue fin. We figured out a way to get them to bite heavy gear and worked it hard for 10 years or so. They were there year round back then. We caught over 100 in the 150 lb range with 7 over 260 and two over 300 with the biggest...
