Very nice Doug , looks like Darin knocked another few fish off his bucket list this year :hali_olutta:

I don't tip either , Bah Humbug!:food-smiley-014:

i did not build it , I had my friends daughter build it … I kept it simple and told her to build it as a factory style rod matching the old RCX patterns just with different colors ..I originally wanted a metallic blue , but then told her to pick a color since I couldn’t find the blue I wanted...

That would be too easy fishing cut bait, i like throwing large top water plugs and huge swimbaits that imitate trout in the fall & winter

I call BS as well , I didn't see any stripers at lake pyramid today either

I bought the TSX1440 back in October ,Worked great on land out the box, First trip out 2 day later they were blurry on the water ,I ended up returning them . I don't think anything will compare to the frasers , They're built to take a beating!

Fun fishin !!!!

Damn Steve , I'll miss fishing with you , A lot of Fun time on the water :hali_olutta:

Let them go so they can grow:D

Don’t do it , you’ll end up buying all the other torques as well LOL

Top water fishing is fun when the fish are showing , I haven’t seen foamers for a month:1041677399:….. Im getting ready for some fresh water top water fishing :food-smil

Of all the years I've kayaked fish , San O is the only Place I had a pup come up to my kayak … Definitely my fault for having a halibut hanging over the side on a leash in the surfline

What is your budget?

Coming in this morning was nice !!!:D

No squid at San Pedro , they do have cured 5-7 inch deans got some Thursday morning

The LA Charges play today :D

We had the same issue when we installed our chirp unit … I only like the chirp when I’m at the islands , Ikeep it off and use the standard furuno offshore but use the monitor for navigation , Radar , charts … Island with chirp offshore with standard 1 kw

Your getting interference from the other transducer

Are you running any other electronic, perhaps another sonar and transducer at the same time ?

You got to put more water in there :D

My guess would be the Bart Hall show , it’s a bigger venue

Welp , as a lifetime Dodger fan all I can say is the Pads were the better team , moving forward ….. Good luck !!!! Go Pads !!!!!

What’s with the game delayed?

When I seen The starting pitcher was Kershaw ... I just knew we already lost the game

Congrats on that beautiful fish. Pops was there smiling !

Waaaaaaa ,waaaaaaa ,waaaaaaaa

You should of jumped on the New LoAnn:D

Stopped by to talk fishing with Aren at the shop and holy smokes they are loaded with all sized Mad macs , I needed to reload , lost another 240 this weekend . We did get 1 on a back up 240 :D orange and black still biting

I used the prototype but never put a fish on the viper and Invictus and did not have enough time to use them .. I have used the GPX raptor and centaur , landed fish on both , they are faster then the RCX models and noticed that you do have to keep the pressure on the fish do to faster recoil…...

Don’t forget to set your drag appropriately , lost a pink Mac 240 this weekend on the bite … Drag was to tight!!! Had back up and did get one on the orange and black 240

Congrats David , what a fun weekend in the water !!!!

That’s awesome , very nice … He’ll never forget that !!!!

:beerbang:

Shhh they are still biting the mad macs Thanks going to pick up a few more 240’s for this weekend

Change of plans , I’ll be launching at 5 am Friday morning from Huntington Beach , fuel and baiting up in San Pedro

Im going to have to break out the scalpel blade this weekend and do a little dissecting myself

I’m not sure if it’s the pre set nob , just my opinion but I think it has something to do with the grease / oil getting to warm on the drag ( temperature heat) causing it to lose drag pressure … I’ve noticed this with my shimano, and okuma maks..

Câu cá thú vị, Cảm ơn bạn đã chia sẻ

I'll be out Saturday morning to Sunday noon...

Did the line snap , or did the fish spit the jig? Congrats and WTG on putting in the time for those fish !

It definitely makes it easier to communicate, we travel a lot in the dark .. A few times heading out of the shipping lanes big commercial cargo ships contacted us via vhf on (16) and redirected us to a different channel for communication, Worked out their position , Heading etc even though...

830 am we had all we need by 11am .. We we’re seeing marks while trolling the madmacs , after a hour of trolling with no bites we pulled in the trollers and slowed it down looking at sonar marks .. chunk chum and live bait got them charging the boat

A group shot , after calling in and handing off bait to a friend on the water

Nice grill , nice having it after a long day of fishing

Nice work, the colors pop! Fun rod too fish with too…

Bait was excellent , we baited up at San Pedro bait . Bait was about 6 days cured (3 ) scoops way better than last weekends bait . They bit 25 to 50 lbs fluoro .. The bf are mixed in with the YF , we had a estimated 70lb Bf that bit a 25 lb flouro . That fight lasted about 1hr 10 minutes, we...

Good fishin for mixed fish bft/ yF from 30-70 lbs , fly line on meter marks

jigged up about 30 pieces at pyramid cove Saturday night , few boats working desperation reef

Nice fish , I was looking at gettin back out there this weekend , looks like a lot of training going on this weekend ..

yes, its 2 now , that post was in 2008 Rest in peace Mark (sdangler)

n They don't need too! It's usually Handled at the end of the trip , when the captain says 'we are out of time," This applies to 1/2, 3/4 .full day and over night trips Deck hand calls Jackpot Going once Twice Done If you had a fish worthy of being in the jackpot , its your job to be in...

Did you get clarification of the rules from the captain , Jack pot are Boat rules . The deck hands declare a winner

Much respect to all whom served . Being a airforce Brat , I've seen first hand what war does . I spent countless hours at the Va Hospital visiting the old man. He was in Vietnam from 1965-1969...

Look at the prices , They are not cheap. They are very nice boats Parker’s are more affordable

You did great , Its best to keep a eye on the man overboard Throw a trashcan or something that will float to mark the spot and yell for help !

We left this morning, seen white caps coming from the north , so we slid into pyramid cove for the night , This morning we made the xing to cat , choppy , white capping , water coming over the wheel house ,had lunch at cat and made the run to HH

We ended up with 9 yt for 2 farmed a few as well. Caught about about 60 calicos ( released) . Spent the night at pyramid cove.. Just making the crossing back to Catalina. Big-time white caping.. shhh There is squid. cove… Didn’t see fish caught

Biting

Coast guard on the radio kicking people out the 9

Just a little fun while the BFT are Mia

how big of a boat ?What type of fishing ? Gaff , cooler bag for drinks

nice , They should sell quick as prices went up ....

It depends how she smells Hit it and quit it

Yes , the long line out at 100 seconds been bit the most for us as well 5-3

I usually set one back at a 70 count and a 100 count never have been tangled up 2 trolling trips this year for 8 fish from 80 -190 lbs all on the 240 this year

After death ???:imdumb: or what is Active Duty:urno1:

Smoke them , Just not indoor or around kids as a common courtesy

100 Gallon, yes about 12 passes … bait did really good this week as there was no major temp change in the water we had some dead but not more than half a scoop die . Labor Day weekend we took 4 scoops of cured bait and half rolled as the temp from the 499 to sci had major temp change from...

Launched out of HB at 4am and grabbed 3 scoops of nice 5-7” cured sardines from nacho .. Little snotty heading out , we took our time heading out , we had Gary’s 13 year old son with us for the first time in 4 years .. We were pumped up ,the kid wanted to go fishing .. Water at the 277 was 71...

Great deal , Your not going to find them cheaper than that

I use the 9/0 as well , they will rust over a period of time .. Just get in the habit of rinsing the jig with freshwater when yo break down your gear..

I use to keep my catch on a game clip for a period of time , I’d just gut the fish and put it back on the game clip and into water .. Only once in my 17 years of kayaking I had a shark come up to investigate , That was at San onofree where GW are frequently there..

When these are not ready and I have them rig me one up , should I tip? How much?

The bft are going to know :hali_ruahahaha:

Nice way to break in the new boat !!!!:beerbang:

Will the name now be changed to the RP sinker jig John Collins jig Asking for a friend :nutkick:

There was some up at sci this labor day weekend , water temp ranged from 73-77 from sci to the 499

Yup , always have a hand pump handy , if you have a external bait pump ,you can always use that with the hose connected and pump out water with the battery .

Great weekend for Football :D

Mario slayed them :D

Yeah , these jigs are usually a few fish and trashed , They usually get damaged after the fish has been landed and the fish is flopping around on deck …. They do kill fish though!!!

With whom did you speak to over at UC and when ? Randy was away from the shop for a few weeks with health issues ... What Rod do you need a tip for , Maybe I can work some magic:D

You have got to come up with a better business plan !!!! How many time , have you had your 'friend(s)" say, " Can I borrow that ?" Did they ever bring it back ?

5pm , it's not too hot out

Email Jack , he's looking for a handful [email protected]

The only thing that pisses me off is , why didn't I think of that ?:imdumb:

Put hot water in a bucket , add a cup of bleach and toss your clothes in it for a hour :urno1:

On certain boats it might fly , the past few RF / Wsb trips I’ve been on ,all rockfish are accounted for . The deckhands will take your fish and mark their board to keep track on the count and put it in the gunny sack…

No worries !!!

Woo hoo Can you imagine the mayham this weekend , I'm gonna fly a kite off my kayak:D

No shame at all ... :rolleyes: You will now forever have an asterisk on your claimed IGFA records......

nice write up , great boat and crew !!!

Take it back for a exchange ?

Did you experience anything such as fishing in a OFF LIMIT area , Mexican Navy boarding the boat with M16 Rifles pointed at passengers and everyone forced on the ground faced down , What could go wrong ?

It’s not mandated , you don’t need a mask … Even when they did require one it was just around the landing just to follow the guidelines so they could keep buisness moving along…

Solid gear, Perfect for what you want to do!!

possible in the fall up in morro bay When I was up there in June, The talk on the boat was 80 miles out of

Haha Con Man Keith strikes again, Fucken crook!!!

One of my favorite reels and favorite jig nice work!!!!

What’s the word on these things nomad slipstreams

NO , it won't work ... It needs to have Madmac printed on it:)

They are not canceling unless the weather is up , they went to channel island with 4 anglers from San Diego and back the other day for WSB and rock fish

A couple of years ago while fishing at sci on the 095 , we went into pyramid and made a few tanks of squid , that trip we had a Steady plunked bite on 80-100 lb models … later in the day Rick on the 095 told us to clear the port side …. he handed off a few scoops of squid to the red rooster 3 …...

Definitely a smallie

Bob Sands has 200 and 240 Pink , orange and black, also a handful in 160

You should be fine with a handful of knife jigs , I'd grab a 200 gm, 300.and a 500 and call it good .... Have a few sinkers for sinker rigs..

Fish counts are for those who need to fill the boat and have spots available , TG80 is just about all booked , yes they are catching just like the rest of the fleet

Doug Sorry for your lost , My condolence to you and the rest of the fishing community that lost a great friend..

No they don't count , and its nothing to boast about...

They are in the buisness , I think they would have connections … Start with their insurance !!!!

It's nothing special , standard reverse dropper loops as you would fish wsb , the halibuts are on the squid beds

Its no different than bringing a child on board , , put them in a pfd and be responsible by watching them .When driving , keep them in the cabin !!!

I fished on the black pearl a few weeks ago , one guy had a salmon to color they released it ! I’m On the mirage for the next few days hopefully the seabass cooperate

Check with the boat as well , a lot of times they do have rental rods(loaners) on the boat ….

I always enjoy a cool how to video ... Clean presentation !Now I'm almost positive I'll get my limits of seabass this week !!!:D

I like it , Going seabass fishing on the 20th:D

Good luck !!! Great place to fish !!!!

Grumpies!!!! Time to pull out them Big hammer plastics :p

price just shot up for these amazing jigs $33 for a 12 ounceLOL

If your on a private boat you need a permit for multi day limits , On a sporty the landing takes care of that…

living the dream!!!!!

When you receive an email verified by clicking the email, it’s only obvious on fake email….

If you can find one , look for a GP centaur or GP viper blank , you will not be disappointed!! Try Bob sands tackle shop or other UC dealers.

Btw those two , It looks like size the 2x4 is 7'3 , the viper is7'6

You can't go wrong either way, both are cow killers

What a heartbreaker , That's exactly what keep us going back !!!!

I’d chose a 2- 2.5 day trip , there are so much options between boats you can chose depending on the week you are planning the trip …

It’s doable and not as tiring as flat falling with a 50 visx

Many have never seen a Albie!

Congrats and way to go on keeping at it !!!

Your going to lose fish no matter what , but preparation of gear , tackle and setting your drag can go a long ways … If your not sure proper rigging , Ask the crew , If your not sure if your drag is set from the start , ask the crew!! These fish are mean and you got to Pull on these fish, the...

5’ of mono is what I use make sure you pull like a mad man mano a Mano:D

no , I paid them for a service !!!! I’ll tip the guy who bring out my fish and ice that I buy a few $….

If you want bigger fish , take notes of what’s happening , moon phase , time a day , conditions ….. Early season bft is overrated the real fishing for the bigget grade usually picks up in July through November …. The early season hype is overrated… Grab a pen and paper and jot down some notes …...

Damn , that's some fun fishing !!! congrats!

verm if its just for the inside bays and lagoons , you will need something around 12'6 , for outside breakwalls in open water I'd recommend a longer kayak... The longer the kayak , faster it gets!! you will also want a PFD !!!

I'm still waiting on my reel , It should be coming anytime soon ... I paid through venmo by emailing someone on bd a month ago

I'll drop it through the zone depth ,if not bit I'll put it in gear and do a Fast 25 cranks, and drop it back down ,,,,, repeat until I'm bit....

Duane diego pinnacle sportsfishing seasons sportsfishing

Go figure , I don’t eat fish…. It all goes to family and friends

I called in March to try and book it , said schedule was not out yet and would be released as soon as the owner and captain released it , I also asked if Mike would be running the boat again … “we don’t know who will be running the boat“

I have mine paired with a Gp tilefish JR

What species do you guys want to fish for ? San Diego ,LA Full day , over night ,Multi day?

Great form of communication , we used our on the water this weekend and got real time info from friends fishing different islands from channel Island to down south on the Tuna grounds .... We also chatted up with @Dave Hansen

I heard the dreamer Calling him but did not hear a response from the carnage , I did see a squid boat last night .. It looked like the Annie Marie it was to far for me to see a name on it through the binoculars

We are still on the water , heading home !! We burned 65gallons …. next weekend if weather permits s we will be fishing Sci

Kicked off from HB on Sat morning 1230 am, headed back of the west end and searched for bait , we found it but the sea dogs were on us instantly , we decided it wasn’t worth the effort as we were reaching gray light .. We brought fresh dead so we had enough to chum and fish with .. i got 1...

we got limits for 2, report to come later

The weather looks great Anyone making the run down to Cat this weekend ? I'll be heading out of HB late Friday night, Same routine , make bait and fish the backside middle to the west end this weekend !! Good luck !!!

For a kite reel , I want a work horse On a private Boat so its going to be either a Penn Visx 50 or a Penn Visx 50:) If your talking about a kite reel for them 1 or 2 long range trips a year , get the bling bling :D :D Accurate

Hydrate , Drink more beer !:)

I'd fish with Rick and the O95 anytime over many other sporties in the fleet , One of the old school capt. that has respect from the fleet including the long range fleet .. Been fishing with Rick For over 20 years from the the time he owned the Seahawk..

Not wide open by any mean , slow c basing ,calicos on fire ,fun fishing with the buds

ill be out there fishing , leaving tonight should be at the island by midnight, taking 20 lbs fresh frozen , crowder just in case with the generator and cash just in case we don’t get any live , Hit is up on the “Hokees “ if your out there , Good luck John

Put one in my day bag , put one in my 1-3 tackle bag and of course one in my long range box;)

I’ve had them do it the same day too , you just need to make arrangements with them … later in the season it gets harder to have same day service (Fall)

I was on a boat last year , The capt was collecting Tabs and tips .. A few guys in front got called out for leaving less than 20% The capt “Did you not enjoy your trip” he also went on the PA speaker and thanked everyone and put the guys that came up short on blast !!! :rofl:

I haven't been out since October ... Trolling on a boat sucks !!

My rig would be a Penn visx20 paired with a viper I cant say I have a favorite , Because I fish them all ( penn VISX 12 , 16, 20,30, 50) The 16, and 20 definitely keep me at the rail longer , The other reels are heavier which I tend to put away after a few drops ... Just an observation from...

Ha Bull chit , I'm not stopping because your to good for 20 lb fish , I'm out there to kill some chit!!!:D

They do not allow anyone to TAKE more than their legal limit at the end of the trip, They are in business to make money , Numbers fill the boat. At the end of the day , they don't give two shits ,, You have a limit they have your cash , and tip ... Repeat , recycle !!!!

Made it out Saturday night from Huntington Harbor , It was a little bumpy 4' at 8 seconds ,going 16 knots , it flattened out a bit and we ran 27 knots(10 miles) the rest of the way to Catalina . The wind picked up at 10pm .. It was fishable yesterday morning ...

The small craft advisory nixed our plan to look for squid , it was blowing11 knots from the east .. We anchored at the front over by the rock quarry for the night .. Early this Am we went to the East , fished fresh frozen on dropper loops , Jigs , leaf heads … No exotics , lots of calicos , and...

Anthony Way to start the season!!! My trip up north ended with an emergency. Passenger fell and fractured his lower vertebrate L1& L2 ...

San O was always a fun spot to fish , a lot of halibuts ! One year we heard rumors of squid at the Box canyon so a handful of my kayak buddies and I launched our kayaks from San Onofree state beach and made a 4.5 mile paddle to the box canyon area ... I Got lucky that day with a 41lb cbass on a...

I love me some seabass fishing , bf is fun too…

Yeah , I'd take both just for the reason stated above, But I'd fish the super 12 Knowing it is capable of landing a cow and endurance at the rail...

I was fortunate enough to fish the gpx prototypes last year , the Gpx Raptor and the centaur were 2 rods that I really liked the most . Both well balanced and handle fish at ease ...

Book early at channel island sports fishing :D I like going after June 16

Fished that boat a few time back in the day "Samuri" and early last year in May from San Pedro with Capt Shawn (now owns the Pride ).. One thing I've always like about the boat is it had wide bunks, Capt Shawn took a chance on a whim , and we had a blast on some early season yellowtail at...

Try a mustad rip roller if you can’t find anything Rasta , Sardine , Ironman

Yeah , with knife Jigs I like to go heavy …Always have a 300-500 GM knife jig ready

LOLLOL

Ron , Have you tried a amber lense , I know it works for sight fishing in fresh water .

I'd like to watch that fight with a Bf, Good luck :eek:

your better off making your own https://www.memphisnet.net/category/netting-monofilament-mono-3

i have 1 SK jig , but if I need a certain size or color , I just reach in my buddies tackle box :D

Did you try island tackle?

silver hake

I'd buy something you can switch from 50- 40 and rent a 80 . and 100lb

Nice setups !!! That's the way I fish my Trq 40nds2 , with 80LB. 600+ yds Visx 16 100Lbs with a little over 550 yds

Greg , The only time I replace the spectra is if I’m running low on the spool , I usually pull off the braid and soak it in soap and repack the reels at the end of the season..

As someone above mentioned Try slowing down and shorter loops on the spyder hitch

Once upon a time ago , while on a road trip during the start of the pandemic I still had change back after purchasing a 12 pack and 2 packs of smokes !!!!LOL

What pound test are you fishin , Seems to me everything under 30lb gets twisted up on the spyder hitch

Awesome !!! It’s spring again Thanks for the report !!!

Good luck !!! I have a Rock fish trip in Morro bay on 4/1:)

Go get em y’all !!! This year my plan of attack will be different … I’ll be fishing The local islands through summer , and back on the Tuna in the fall !!!! I kind of miss the island and them pesky cbass!!! Besides , you guys were quick on pre booking The tuna trips :D

What kind of trips are you fishing ?

So the Coahuilla is not a good Idea ? Asking for a friend ..

Ouch!!!

it makes no sense at all using fluoro on a jig , Your not finesse fishing

Made a quick stop at a local lake after work , fish are biting

My apologies , looks like it ended on the 6th

Selections of rods will vary from dealer to dealer I would suggest in your case to give a few dealers a call and pick their brains … @Bob Sands is currently running a sale , you can call the shop , I’d ask to speak with Jaime for a complete run down …Edit sorry sale ended here is the link...

reel shipped

Each year is different last year in April they bit , If your out fishin you might have a better chance at some fish then staying home :D

SOLD To @sneakypete

Yeah , Nacho sets his own hours , we usually hang out and make bait around the barge .. Once his lights and generator fires up its ok to tie up too the dock .. He's usually up by 4-4:15am ... If you approach in the dark , he's not going to be happy !

For anything under 80lbs , I'm comfortable with size 2 & 4 owner Mutu circle hooks also found the Blacktail Mutu circle hooks to be dependable and comparable to owners hooks. For the larger fish I'm reaching for my 1/0- 2/0 Charlie browns

Yes SR.. Rated at 30-80

We had a good trip with capt Jake on the prime time in may of 2020. https://www.primetimesportfishing.com/captain

You need both . There will be some days where neither of them will work .. Helium alone will get the balloon up but you also need wind to get the balloon and bait away from the boat

We have had success using a snap swivel , swivel , 3-4 ft line attached to the balloon .. You simply burn 25-30 ft of your main line , attach a rubber band to the mainline , attach snap swivel to main line , before closing the snap , place your rubber band loop into the snap .... When you get...

Yes , a card is all you’ll need for border crossings

rams 31-27

Are you fishin on a private boat or from sport boats ?

It’s really not the scammers fault is it , some of y’all just dumb!!!

Yeah , La Niña , El Niño, el covid … Seabass !!!!!!

I'll take one too , see you at the show :D

Charger lost because of their coach , The game is tied Raiders letting the clock run out for the tie and chargers call a time out It was 3and 8 with 38 seconds

BumpLOL

Long range bft doesn't count !:D

Too cool , great catch!

Sheesh , I cringe on spending $55 on a glide bait LOL

I've had great luck with Seaguar Kureha @ 25-40 lb ,and use Sunline from 50 lbs on up .

Earlier this year

Not yet . I've been fishin the Lv 500,Jackall TN50/60/70, Hardcore flash n vibe , Bill lewis , cotton cordels this fall ... None of them work so far :1041677399: It's been a weird fall !!

Fun stuff !

Now I know how you plan a trip LOL

I've never fished with the Capt or boat but would like too . Been trying to find a spot on that boat all year , it seems too be booked through next year , If any of you charter masters have a spot for a 2-3.5 day next year in August -October ... I'm in :D

No , bring what you have !! A sponsored trip is to get their company product out to you the consumer … Its a great way for you to learn and use there products while on the trip!

congrats , you should try for swordfish next LOL

Great reel ,I'm actually enjoying this reel a lot more . It's not much bigger than my 20 visx .

Baja special was made for Jigging and bottom fishing

Your trip is looking good , it will be bumpy the first day out

The weather look like chit !!! This is the first time I’ve seen a multi day trip on the Queen open this year

He’ll be back!!!

3 day on the 15th , and 24th .... good jigging weather :D

They do work !!!!

That’s awesome , congrats on a great catch !!!!

The specs will put you in line with a RCX Invictus

1. Albacore 2. yf albacore and yellowfin because they are easy and dumb … Bft for for size , but very frustrating at times As for table fair Heck if I know , I don’t eat fish…

Ted I'd leave almost all of those sinkers ,maybe take (1) 6 ounce (2 )8 ounce maybe 1 of each on the 10 , 12 ounce ... I'd also down size by leaving some of the smaller flatfalls behind , most likely you will not be using them... Other than that your styling !!!! Good luck Bud !

You'll do fine without them....

When your on a fish and need a hand , you call them ' need a hand here " they do have other customers on the boat as well ! Speak up , they are their to help you ! I don't think you were being neglected !

Ted you can rig them any way you’d like as long as you change out the stocked rings and stocked assist hooks .. I normally have my jigs rigged with a single hook on the bottom and assist hooks on top… You can also set them up with assist on top or bottom Hope this helps

Change out all stocked Rings and assist hooks ...I've been out quite a bit this month On my Ranger 85 3.5 day trip earlier this month the standard flat fall did well (SK jigs , Nomads , shimano flatfalls ) On my most recent trip on the Aztec from 9/19-9/23 Knife jigs worked the best( 400-500...

Ted Its time ! Any more question before your trip , I'm hoping all the stars line up for you in the next few weeks!!!

Congrats Ted !!!That is a great boat to be on,I’m on that boat for a 3 day on 10-15…

Great report Lake !!!! What size popper do you throw ? Im really considering a 8 day for next year , what’s the max length rod that will fit under that overhang ?

I have 80lb hollow on mine and fish it at 20lbs at strike and set at 30lbs at full
