The "AI" in Kwells is Hyoscine Hydrobromide 300 micrograms. This is the same ingrediients as Scopace only half as much. Scopolamine is a generic name for Hyoscine Hydrobromide. Kwells does give you a buzz.... I take it when I leave my house and when I get to the boat ramp, about 10 min...

Dam Steve you make it sound like you are retired or something... I know it isn't because your getting older because we are about the same age.... yeah those days of going out back to back days are a little harder... okay impossible. I used to jump right up when working on my truck.... now I'm...

This is a dumb question but I have seen people fight this cause they didn't know.... you did open the bleeder screw on it right? I saw two guys working their ass off trying to lift theirs so I stopped to help them, I have lifted mine several times by myself and they were working it pretty...

Hey it's only money, and there is no price you can put on the satisfaction of doing it yourself and the hours of fun you get from your labor. Just my opinion and I could be wrong, I was wrong once before.

I was thinking the same thing. especially at idle I would think the battery would have enough in it that it wouldn't be noticeable until it started turning more rpms, especially when these motors only run on 2 cyl. until about 2000 rpm. But one of the things, going by the book, your supposed...

do a leak down test... best diagnostic for 2 stokes, you can check internal seals. listen for air leaks, wd40, soapy water for the obvious places

Kevin, I saw two guys in an old wooden bathtub and a tiny outboard on it in the La Jolla kelp beds one time.... just have to remember there is a fine line between balls and stupidity. I must admit I have crossed that line myself at one time or another.

about as far as you can swim

hey Paul my boat is going to be down or a couple of weeks and I am available and looking for a ride so if you are fishing in San Diego and need a partner let me know. I broke my phone and it is in the shop, if it isn't fixed by Monday I am going to buy another one, you can message me in here or...

I'll get up to watch the sunrise and then go back to bed. If you took that jacket off you would have caught more fish :rofl:

Are you fishing Oceanside or San Diego? I'm not familiar with that brand or model boat. I don't fish the bay, did that every day as a kid but if you are talking about the kelp beds or off shore I will go with you or buddy boat. I have an 18' Invader, I don't work (professional fun haver) so...

SMYLEE I'm not sure I understand your post or you understood my question. The only attitude I mentioned was my own because it is about people in general. This wasn't about California vs Florida the video was made in Florida but it could have been from anywhere. My attitude towards people in...

I watched a video my friend Bill had about guys in Florida using artificial reefs and structures and how effective they were with fish on them in 45 min. My thought was the reefs could be doable but a floating structure would never work here. I told my friend that and he said keep watching...

Thanks for the response, I didn't remember ever thinking you were one of shit talkers on here. Thanks for the info... I am constantly trying to make a point to these guys to remember, just because they don't enforce a law doesn't mean it isn't a law and they may enforce it at any time. Seen...

I hope so I am older than dirt, what's the matter, age bother you? it's just a number. I remember as a kid that the sport boats took you out to a barge to fish off of, and mission bay was a mud flat we used to walk across at low tide

You might be right about that. Bob do you mind me asking how old you are. Not asking to try and be a dick or anything I am just curious. You know you might think I am just an asshole, there are a lot of people out there that would agree with you, and I can be, I have had lessons from the...

dude i think we all share your feelings, this shit is out of hand and it is so expensive to fish there I don't know how much longer the regular working man will be able to afford it. Your information on the TIP should have included boats that made port. The harbor master wouldn't let you keep...

no problem, hope it helps, have a good time.

Bob... I am not trying to be shitty or funny, I am totally serious dude.. I think you should seek some professional help. I wish I was kidding but I am not.

WOW dam all I can say is WOW Thank you, this is appreciated more than you can possibly imagine. I don't know which site it is your having problems with, but I am going to give you a link to a site that has links and explanations for everything you will need and they make an effort to keep...

Dude, you do need the TIP, don't take my word for it, go check it out for your self there are references about it all over, there are all kinds of sites out there by american organizations for sailing, racing, just boating in general... look at what they tell their members they need to be on...

Okay I will take a shot at answering your questions. as for your paper work, I just came across an article that explains a lot of questions people have had, myself included. What they have been asking for and what they will probably want from you is... a passport, an fmm (issued by the navy...

What your saying is right, it may not seem confusing to you or to me but it might to a lot of people reading it, especially the last sentence. countries established their boundaries a long time ago and typically and traditionally it was 3 miles, the distance you could shoot a cannon ball. How...

Well Rick you are right on all counts, I used that because boat us put it out and it was easy, it does reference 2013 and doesn't reflect what it is today. At that time you only had to get one when you crossed the border, boat and trailer and to put your boat in a morena and it was really...

Like I clearly stated, I don't care if you use the information or not. It is much harder to find laws for Mexico, especially for new ones or recently changed ones than it is in the US, but it isn't hard to find out if you need one for on the water, BoatUS has this for their users; "Most...

congrats on your first tuna, I still remember mine, my dad had a pony keg for a bait tank and I was wrapped around it, cussing like hell... the ol man never offered to help but I still remember him saying, "don't let go of that pole, don't let go of that pole" I still remember setting the hook...

they have been eating micro chovies, if your looking for a small bait to match try the p-line laser minnow 1" in chovie color.

Well to start with I'm not your friend, sorry you don't have what it takes to be my friend. Bob, maybe you should learn how to read, I didn't see anyone saying you need a TIP to fish the 302... except you... I know there has been some question by the Mexicans about the 302, but most people...

LET ME MAKE THIS AS CLEAR AS POSSIBLE... There is nothing in it for me to try and help any of you, I am spending my time to try and help you, I REALLY DON'T GIVE A FUCK IF YOU USE THE INFORMATION OR YOU DON'T. I CAN'T MAKE IT ANY MORE CLEAR, I HAVE SAID IT over and over... this is a common...

obviously... it's your money to waste if you want to pay someone to do it for you, but it is pretty easy to do your self. it just doesn't make sense to me why people will bitch about having to pay for any of the required items, but will pay someone to do what they could do. Do you know what...

It may have been once upon a time, but now the law reads, "you need a TIP to enter Mexican waters". keep in mind this is all about the money for Mexico and at 72 hrs. they wouldn't sell many for fishing Mexico.

your throwing your money away to pay someone to do it for you, it is easy and I'll give you a link to a site that has links and explanations for everything. It says 2 weeks for the tip because they mail it to you, but i got mine in 5 days... it's good for 10yrs. so you don't spend anything for...

Way to go bud and a big thumbs up for putting out the info, I know it isn't much to some but it is huge to those who don't know. A lot of people don't want to give up anything. It wasn't until I came on BD that I found out that there were people who were born with the knowledge and didn't...

Thanks Cody, we were in the same area as you but missed you by about a half hour.

Yeah Bob is a good guy... been tryin to get him out there for a while and if it meant a late start, I could live with it.

Been trying to get out with my buddy Arma Bob and he had a free day and this was it. He lives 90 miles away and for me at least we got a real late start. Got bait and headed to the north nine 178 area, after looking for a while we came across lots of Dorado on bait, as soon as we set up on...

Leave the spear fisherman at home. You asked for suggestions and that is the best one I can give you.

Well my truck is 65+ we call it the dinosaur. The docks aren't next to the ramps like in oceanside but there is plenty of dock space, way more than Dana thats for sure. On a side note I thought Id let you know in case you haven't already heard.... the half day boat out of sea forth got 71...

Shelter and Dana are popular, I try and stay away from them, I launch and retrieve by myself and don't like tying up the ramp and dock more than it has to be... not to mention the looks I get. People don't realize my truck only has half the turning radius theres does and it takes a lot more to...

don't worry Anthony the season is just starting and there is a long way to go. sounded like it was good in this direction on Saturday. Do you only go out on the weekend? We will be hitting it in the middle of the week, I'll let you know how it was. good luck. Keep that beer cold for me.

I wrap my own and put my initials in the wrap, easy to ID but doesn't help the re-sell value. I don't plan on selling them even if someone wanted them.

just give a shout to gonzo. probably won't be out on Sunday unless my friend Bob calls and says he wants to go.... was out Wednesday and put on about 75 miles. only saw two kelps one was dry and one had a ton of micro chovies on it, neither one had fish. Saw lots of dolphin, drug madmacs...

no not 1943 more like 1970. I don't know for sure but I think our uncle Sam flexed his economic muscle and told them they were getting carried away to slow it down. like I said that is just a guess because I haven't heard of them checking people for a while but they definitely were for a...

Actually Invaders are very good offshore boats for their size, mine doesn't pound and I don't get wet and it is only an 18' mine is a different model it has a deep V about a 25 degree dead rise, my friend Cody has one like yours and he goes all over in it. It is about how well you know being on...

Thanks I'm glad I could help, I'll take you up on that beer when I see you out there. good luck, do you have a radio? what is your handle? I'm always on72 out there.

well bob what you and I think doesn't mean shit, it is what the Mexicans think and they were out at the 302 checking people a couple of years ago and I haven't heard if or how it was resolved, but I do know they were at the 302. Like I said, I consider it Mexican territorial waters and it...

If it makes you feel more comfortable having the FMM go ahead and get one, it is good for 180 days... which means you have that long to use it, but it is only good for one entry and one departure, so if you get one you have 180 to use it if you don't need it for this trip. No one want to spend...

The simple answer is yes, but where are you launching at? if it is from Mexico they MAY require a TIP to get it across the border, i can't remember what the length cut off is but i think you may have made it...BUT you would need to check that because I can't remember for sure what it is...

my ancestors, the Vikings, went all over the world in wooded boats with no life boats, life jackets, gps or even a compass, everyone would row if there was no wind. Now those were some manly men, balls the size of basket balls, of course that may have been because they were so fucking big. All...

boat size is not as important as the ability of the person running it

i got lots of stories i could tell about my 14' bay liner bass boat, kelp beds, 9. Islands etc. The wildest was when i was fishing lj kelp and I saw two guys in an old wooden bathtub with about a 7 hp motor on it, it was only about 10" about the water... i couldn't take my eyes off these two...

It wouldn't surprise me if it happened at Dana Landing... lots of theft, to much foot traffic by non boat people. People don't use southshores because it is to far from the jetty. From the light to turn into southshores to Dana parking lot it take me 10 min. hitting all the lights just right...

glad i could do, have a good time

the 302? is it a fishing spot? I don't know, I might have been there once, is it in Mexico? What i said above. I am so impressed, thank you for teaching me... I don't know how I made it this far without you. You have convinced me, I'm gonna stop giving out all this misinformation and I...

that's what I thought, you are ignorant. TIP is Temporary Import Permit. tip(s) is... to insure prompt service. and yes I remember Dave making a fool of himself. You see I did have a clue, while you may think you are so smart and witty, I wonder what kind of asshole tries to discredit...

What is offshore Mexico?

not having any trouble at all. Do you know what TIP is?

hey new guy, thanks, i am pretty smart. glad you didn't say no it all... because then you would be wrong. If you notice I said I have never heard of a 50% TIP, because I haven't... I didn't say there wasn't one, there maybe and I haven't heard of it. But like I said why would you pay 50%...

Bob... all I got to say to you and your Karen.... is fuck off and die I spend my time answering these questions because the person posting doesn't know the answer and no one else will probably give him one in a timely manner and i don't want to see them ruin there fishing trip or fuck it up...

Sorry I know that was a little harsh, frustration from answering the same thing over and over. The FMM and visa are one in the same, just make sure you get the one one line that is provided by the Mexican navy, they are in charge of everything "on the water". You do need a passport, you also...

You have been reading threads to fish Mexico? Where? Of all things why would you have a ? after Visa and Passport... are you retarded? No don't get a passport or a Visa/fmm, lessons you learn the hard way are the best because they cost you so much you never forget them. Yes your list is...

Not everything that sucks is bad, girls for example

I can't believe you feed it to your dog.... if it was questionable at all I'd feed it to the wife or girlfriend but NEVER to my dog

I was out on the 182 alone, it was rougher than shit and I was the only boat still there. I was getting ready to come in and i saw them roll up on me... they sat off about 20-30' so i got the folder out with my paper work and stood there looking at them, they came up about 10' away and said...

No shit... that was the point of making the video, to demonstrate how to do it correctly, that is why I put it up so everyone could see it first hand. If you notice all the other people that were tying knots on videos were pulling them together slowly and then pulled them as hard as they could...

ssshhhhhh don't say that shit on Bloody Decks... the place will get a bunch of people over there and ruin our secret spot, next time go down to channel 19 to share that information. thanks I was hoping it would be some place I never go and not in my own back yard, that would be...

it would be Freaking awesome if I knew where in the fuck it's at. Do you have any idea what it's like knowing there is a party going on with naked dancing girls and all you can drink, and your dyslexic and can't read the invitation?

Okay I'm new.... where the hell is the casino? I'm probably going to regret this question, I don't gamble so I don't even know how to get to Borona.... check that, I don't go to the casinos, I gamble like a mother fucker.

God dam you guys like to throw your money away. it's really easy to do yourself.... when we got one.... no one said shit about this and they kept sending it back saying we needed another legal document but never said what it was... what it is, is your visa or fmm, you don't need a tip if you...

I like the john collins or rp he ties it a little different, if you notice he snaps the knot together.... I don't do it quite like that, it's easy to cut the floro with the braid doing that... or it is for me but I'm just a notch above mr

Yes, spend the money and get the good ones, consider it an investment. Buy some good ones and have them for years of good use... just don't let some tweeker steal them and trade them for a 1/4 gram

Thanks for the report, put a smile on my face... sounds familiar. The one comment I really got a kick out of was... "Only thing I’m missing are people to fish with who have the tuna game down" other than Cody who is pretty consistent, there are lots who claim they do but these fish are like...

I received a reply once.. it's pretty common to end up going with your receipts and a copy of your manifest. The Mexicans are pretty cool, a lot cooler than I would be in their position, if you have everything else I don't think you will need to worry about it. Surprisingly I haven't heard...

you still need one. copy the sample and then put in your name and numbers

My bank, Union bank, always took care of the conversion. They charged for it but it was practically nothing. Might try someone local like one of the landings

'''''' Call first to confirm but I would try Seaforth 1717 QUIVIRA ROAD, SAN DIEGO, CA 92109 (619) 224-3383

Just an FYI the Mexicans require you to have Mexican Insurance through a Mexican Isurance company... which are all owned by the Mexican federal government. You aren't alone, many people have insurance through u.s. companies and don't find out the Mexicans don't accept it until they find out...

Seriously this site attracts people who are either straight-up stupid or straight-up fucking lazy or both. I just put up a page of info explaining everything and it started with this... "This has been covered pretty extensively but I'll do it again." NOW CHECK OUT THE VERY NEXT POST...

Well you mentioned all the things that were sore but you didn't mention your cheeks... all that smiling is a pain you can live with. Way to go on your first BFT, I'm happy for you 👍👍

Did it get any air?

It would be nice if most of the assholes on this board would learn a lesson from this.... the guy doesn't know if Adolfs meat tenderizer actually works or not, but instead of talking shit about it because he has never heard anything about it before, he does the intelligent thing and checks it...

This is what I was going to tell you to use, the poison control center will tell you to use it on this and almost any bites. Mix it up with a little water to make a paste, it will draw the poison out. That's what the piss and hot water does too but this is supposed to be better. Personally I...

Hopefully my kids and life will stop costing me so much money so I can step up and buy some spreader bars before the next trip. Thanks for the report. Glad you haven't lost your sense of humor, unless yours goes differently than mine... probably better odds of winning the loto though.

my requirements are a little to much for most people and here on BD they only have to hear the first three and they aren't interested....No smoking, No drinking,No drugs I always let people ride with me or meet me at the ramp. After riding with me I have only had one person willing to do...

No shit it's a BOAT....Brake Out Another Thousand. I'm finishing up getting my boat ready for summer, parts were a little over $750 not including insurance. Last year it was the trailer, 4 tires, 2 axles with hubs, springs etc. dumped the drum brakes for disk, the electric controlled hydraulic...

I never cast my bait, I hook them as fast as I can through the bottom of the gill, if you cast those you will lose as many as you don't, I gently put them in the water and let them swim away. If there is a kelp paddy in sight they will swim right to it... just like they all do. My dog...

I have had so many people say to meet them at their house at 4;30 am and when you get there the boat isn't even hooked up, so you help them hook it up, fix the lights or whatever else didn't work last time out that they forgot about. Then you have to stop on the way to get gas, food or drinks...

If a $150 seems like a lot of money to fish off shore you shouldn't be fishing off shore, or you need a better paying job. My boat is small and gets good mileage and I still expect to spend a couple hundred in gas, throw in $50 for bait and splitting the cost with one other person and you are...

Scott Check the gas tank while you have it opened up, it should have been replaced by now. I have my old Merc 90 hp. 4 stroke, approx 700 hrs if your looking for a motor, I replaced it with a new Yamaha 90. They are rated for a 150 but the 90 does the job and is cheaper to run. I looked...

So you have heard that myth before, do you know how that got started?

Those yellow things your eating are bad luck for fishing... I thought everyone knew that. Rice vinegar is the trick, doesn't taste bad by itself but you can put it on a salad and it is great and takes care of cramps in about 10 min.

Of course I know what I'm doing. :rofl:

I don't have that problem.... the trick is to make your posts really long, because they are so long no one wants to read them and they don't get edited like that... along with writing like I speak there is so much politically improper language used that no one wants to spend the time on all of...

That is for sure... a lot of these guys don't have much experience doing this kind of stuff and the most common mistake I see done is buying a big roll of wire and rewiring using the same color wire. It isn't that you can't it just makes finding problems a real bitch. The cleaner it's done the...

sickcat While I often upsize wire one size over the 3% voltage drop calcs a 3/0 cable for the OP is WAY oversize. Without knowing the length of his cable runs I think #1 would be plenty. Yesterday at 9:16 AM Hey Sickcat how have you been. I don't recommend things that I haven't...

you can get a nice fuse block on Amazon for cheap and and have all your wires cleaned up with easy to reach fuse and labled so you know which ones do what and it is super c;lean, anything coming off of the battery should have a fuse on it, where ever that fuse is your wire between there and your...

Thanks guys, I didn't want to sound like an asshole and totally negative, it's nice when people agree with you.

Just remember the smaller cable will have a higher percentage of power loss, I think I would be running a 3/0 soft copper cable with as many strands as is available

with just a glance I can tell you your cable connectors are probably where the problem is... those things are terrible. Check out all the green you can see and that isn't even taking things apart and looking at it. You could probably spray some De Oxit on them and they would work good...

Its okay not to know about somethings, no one was born with the knowledge... you acquire it, and I have more respect for someone who admits he doesn't know something so he can acquire it rather than remain ignorant. After reading this I have some questions... Did you understand 2fisted's...

When people ask me what I do I either tell them I am a Professional Fun Haver or I am a Garbalogist. That's why they say one man's junk is another man's treasure. Mine is an inherited disease. My uncle is a multi millionaire, he was a dumpster diver before I ever heard of anyone doing that...

I've been working on mine for while now. You have to use the right terminology, that isn't junk or crap, those are treasures. And that isn't the yard, it's the empire.

No Bob, hard is when you never sell anything, you only acquire... that's why I have so much good junk

We weren't diving we were fishing. Took a friend who had never been off shore before and we were about five miles past the 302, had fish under the boat but they wouldn't bite anything and we were going to take off and I saw a good size fin break water about 200' away. I told Mike to check it...

I know I can help you but clear up some things for me... in your picture the fill is on the bottom and the one above it is the overflow, there is no "drain" just the over flo right? what size is it? Have you used this setup before? have you had bait in it and how did it work? You have a...

This has been covered pretty extensively but I'll do it again. The Visa or FMM for on the water has to go through the Mexican navy, they control everything on the water. The FMM is good for 180 days, THIS MEANS that you have 180 days in which you can use it, BUT it is only good for one...

Well that is the first I have heard you can't process it more than 60 days before using it, I know that I did and never had a problem. It doesn't make much sense since it is good for 10 years, but it is what it is. good luck to all those trying to get their shit together well in advance. I...

At one time a TIP was only needed if you made port or traveled on land, but it is now required in Mexican waters whether you make port or not. I have never heard anything about " it can not be processed no more than 60 days in advance prior to entry" you need to allow 10 to 15 to get it...

this is the pic for the above post... it didn't show it at least on my computer

I almost forgot. Nice job on the pumpkins, I am impressed. The only difference between men and boys is the size and cost of our toys. Never to old to have fun.

We didn't have one kid this year. I think they are afraid of my dog, ha ha not, but the mail man might be. I caught/witnessed the mail man taunting my dog and drawing it out of the house by hitting the gate with his mail bag and then had it ready to swing at my dog when it came out of the...

The item on the far right is what you are asking about, it is a 6" heavy floor scraper that has been sharpened a little. This is the best tool I have found for making chum and lobster bait, and I have tried a lot. The second best is the mortar mixer sharpened shown next to it.... you use a...

NOT in my case, even though it cost me a couple hundred K Dump the wife, happy life The president was visiting a chicken ranch and the owner was showing the first lady around and she said "you have a lot of chickens and one roster takes care of them all? You need to tell the president...

Get some Adolf's meat tenderizer and mix some up in a paste and put it all over where you got stung, it will work good on spider bites, scorpions, bees etc.

yeah those work great for chum and lobster bait and you can take it with you and use it on the fly. I cut a piece of plywood to go in the bottom of the bucket, mine is a little heavier and it is easy to get carried away and put a hole in the bucket. glad you like it, works good of fresh or...

Cody always kills it. 7 per day 7 in possession Way to go Cody

cut the cock off too. you can still i.d. it as female.... you will have to cut the back legs off to do that. lmfao

it will get better as the water gets colder and people learn what conditions will produce the best

yes I do.... that is why I asked instead of assuming that he didn't

I'm sure anyone when he said "mostly males???" it seemed like he might not know the difference. I wasn't trying to be an asshole to him, I reserve that for those who are assholes, but I like to pass on what I have learned to those who haven't learned it.... you know, like help them like...

this is a better explanation than the one I gave in the pm I sent you.... better for some of the guys on here because there are pictures in case they have a hard time with the written. good job.

no, no, no we are talking about lobsters not humans

I know a lot of you guys were born with the knowledge but for the rest of us mere mortals we have to acquire it, or maybe you don't know either, so show us how smart you are and let him know. I'll give you a chance to show that you know and do the right thing by sharing before I do. When...

Do you not know how to tell the difference between the males and females?

LMFAO He probably doesn't want to get banned again.... he may have made a mistake but he isn't stupid... there are plenty on here who are but he isn't one of them. He did post some pics and they are even better than the originals he got banned for.

blubby07 Thanks for the honorable mention. I have a solution for you, something I use, they are magnets with a telescoping antenna with a ball on it... you put one on the coupler and one on the ball, back up to the trailer till the balls touch and your coupler will be right over the ball...

LMFAO... I've posted a lot that other people wish I wouldn't have but when you are very opinionated (me ) and you type 80 to 90 wpm it is real easy to get people pissed off at you. I think the only people who don't have opinions are either really stupid or know their opinion is stupid and don't...

FUCKIN ROOKIES Every year I tell everyone the same shit. BEFORE you leave the dock have your anchor out and ready to go into the water, not in some hold on your boat. The time you save having it ready to go into the water could make the difference between going into the surf line or...

And people say I have balls... you win, good job, glad it worked out. Just remember... there is a fine line between balls and stupidity

:rofl: I think what Ron is saying is, while ya all are down there lickin sweat off of ball sacks and checkin out thick fore skin, go ahead and kiss his ass he is entitled to his opinion. It's nice to see that someone can keep their sense of humor while the shit is flyin:rofl:

What ever makes you feel good is fine with me when you aren't hurting anyone

Bloody Bastard gave you the best advice but didn't tell you how to do it. I will. Fist, never use the valve at you thru hull to adjust the water flow, you'll burn you pump before it's time. Put the adjusting valve between the pump and the tank. Fill time is very important I check mine...

oh lord it's hard to be humble when I'm perfect in every way, and I love to look in the mirror cause I get better lookin each day, to know me is to love me I must be one hell of a man, oh lord it's hard to be humble but I'm doin the best that I can. That's my story and I'm stickin to it. :rofl:

I had never heard of a new battery being bad and had the same problem you are describing and one of my friends said he got a bad battery from Costco and suggested getting it load tested and sure enough that was the problem. It took me going through 3 bad to get to the 4th a good one. They...

If the grounds weren't linked he would not be able to simply switch from bat 1 to bat 2 and have everything still work. The ground on one battery will not work with the hot from the other, unless of course you have them hooked up in series.

might be a silly question but... you changed the 2nd battery because it wasn't holding a charge to run every thing... did it ever hold a charge and run everything in the past? As in how long have you owned this boat, has it done this the whole time or is it something new? I would...

Fuck you.... I hate you guys. just kidding.... nice job... this year has been my worst ever... there are still a couple months left to turn it around

You can only get the Visa/FMM for the water on line. There are different documents for every entry, land, sea, and air. THE MEXICAN NAVY has total control over what happens on the water, be aware that these fuckers don't know what the other one is doing, you will get a lot of bad info from...

Some of what she said is true, you need a FMM to go to the Islands, they are good for 180 days, meaning you have 180 days to use it in, BUT they are only good for one entry and one departure. Since you are not going to a port where you would check in with someone, you will be getting checked...

Hey it's their country and their rules, if you don't want to break any rules and show respect then you will get a new FMM for each day. The FMM is good for one entry and one departure whether your there for one day or 180 it is still one time in and one time out. Soooo are you respectful and...

This information is absolutely incorrect. At one time you only needed a TIP if you made port, but now you need it if you enter Mexican waters. You probably haven't got your Visa/FMM yet, the "legal document" they are looking for is a copy of your FMM. I know it doesn't make much sense...

I have a high water alarm and still flip on the bilge pumps all the time, old habits are hard to break.

Thanks Mike

Hey Mike Thanks for getting back with the info you had. I would really like to see the video, and I'm sure others would too, but it wouldn't come up. Thanks for making the effort anyway

great job on the assist. Any word on what caused it?

I agree it is nice to have a competent partner, I give them the pep talk and let them know my time looking for fish is split with running the boat and how important it is for them to look too... that lasts for about ten minutes and they get bored and start enjoying the boat ride. I think this...

much better than this guys friends CaptJgray "The rest of my buddies get pissed when i try to bend them over the helm when the fishing is slow..." At least she still loves me the next day and gives me lots of kisses. His buddies don't even have the common courtesy to give him a reach...

Sorry about that, the fish heard I was going to be on the water today so they weren't gonna bite on anything

Kwells will end your seasick problems, you can get it on Ebay. Also have her wear some headphones and listen to some music, at least keep wind and noise out. works on the inner ear problem. You guys and your women problems.... my girl is the best, doesn't care if I go fishing, how many...

Way to go guys, I'm happy for you, good times. Thanks for the report and the awesome video. Way to make some great memories, you'll love pulling them out in 20 yrs. and showing your kids how it was in the good ol days.

I love this thread. I realized a long time ago people who fish cattle boats are clueless when it comes to how to use the bait tank... I am so fucking bad for this shit, before we leave the dock I go over all the safety stuff and end that with a stop at the bait tank... I step them out on how...

woodfish330 ...".Pissed off.... I would just go solo like you. In the day..... no cell phones. So you just waited.... and waited..... and waited. For some guys 4 AM is 6:30 everytime. So... my rule... 30 minutes thats all. Dont even show up if its gonna be 31 minutes....lol." I am asked...

Close enough, most of these guys would have rounded it off to 40

Bob is a friend of mine and I don't want to step on any toes but if you can't manage that and a 14' isn't to small I have a deal you can't beat on a 14' bass boat with a 50hp. outboard, you can pull this thing with a bicycle. A galv. trailer, Bimini top, trolling motor, FF and gps. If your...

Brandon, my advice is to do as much as you can yourself, don't be afraid of making a few mistakes, that's how you learn, just don't make the same ones over and over. The only people who don't make mistakes are the one's that don't do anything. Remember when your 25 miles offshore and your...

For the year of the motor, IF that serial number is correct you should be able to contact Honda with it and get all the info how should I wire the batteries in? Since you said batteries I will assume there are two? Most people who run off shore will run two batteries, I don't know shit about...

Yes, if the Mexicans check you, then they know you were there... if you don't get checked then it is the honor system, and we all know there is no honor

we checked a rule 1100 which should pump 18 gal. a min. and straight out of the thru hull it pumped 4. Compared it to my water puppy, 4' away from the thru hull and pumping up hill 15' still pumped 8 gal a min as advertised. I hate Rule

Just an FYI fill time is only good for making sure your system is working the same today as it was yesterday. People have come to think that to fast of a fill time will kill your bait, it doesn't mine is 3 min. it isn't how fast you change the water it is about not creating a current... that...

Do you still have my number? if not I'll pm it to you. I usually go on weekdays to beat the crowd and launch out of Mission bay, it's really close to my house and much safer for my truck than SI. I can meet up with you anywhere.

That is the ticket, don't worry about the hole... use 5200 and make it tight, make sure you put a shut off valve right after the thru hull. Don't use that valve to regulate water flow to the tank, if you need to regulate the flow to the tank put that valve between the pump and tank, if you...

New boat Bob? Let me know next time you come down this way, I'll buddy boat with you. I'm waiting for a new pump for my front tank but I will go with just one. I'm usually by myself anyway. No problem running out of beer or smokes, I don't drink or smoke... I know, I'm boring.

I was going to say you might not get the answer you are looking for here but that is not fair to you. What you need is an answer from the Mexican navy so you know the official requirements, unfortunately this probably won't happen. People think a passport isn't required because the U.S...

yes I agree that is a bad idea to drain into the bilge. how much weight is your boat rated for and how much weight do you actually have? What was the weight of the original 2 stroke that came on it and what is the actual weight of the 4 stroke that is on it? When sitting at the dock what is...

tbev something i forgot to mention.... on the Mexican sites at the top right you will usually find an option for Spanish or English. Also if you use google chrome it will translate for you. good luck

it's a little hard tp see but there is a line on the top right of the website with options, one will say "us mex regulations" if you click on that a drop down window will have all the links you will need to fish Mexico, 12 miles off shore (Coronado's ) outside of 12 miles is Mexico's...

do you and your friend have passports? Are you going on your boat or someone else's? I'll be more than happy to take your $100 for about 1/2 hour of my time. This is really easy, it's only a pain in the ass the first time you do it... like everything is the first time you do it. I;ll put up a...

I run a Garmin 94 echo map with CHIRP and side view on a thru hull. I also run a 9" Humminbird with chirp on a transom mount. The Garmin is a really nice unit, but the Humminbird blows it away in every way especially is ease of use.

good enough for who?

This is exactly why I followed up on Mike's post about what it took and why I included, "just because a law isn't enforced doesn't mean it isn't the law". Since there is no money in it for them or they have an agreement with the local landings not to check them, the sport boats that is...

Because you will hear different stories I posted this o confirm that Mike gave you the real deal. Always a Mexican fishing license, you will also need a Ca. fishing license to bring anything back. A passport, which is a requirement of the U.S. anytime you leave or re-enter our country even if...

You are mistaken, Kwells has the same ingredients as scopamine, a by prescription only drug, only it only has half as much and has a sweetner added so you can let it dissolve in your mouth and not taste bad. I have used it for years and have not had any side effects. I take it when I leave my...

Craig try the link I put up and see if they send you somewhere else, it is through California Sport Fishing assc. Their links have always worked for me. YELLOWTL_ADDICT Your not alone with your question. Here is the problem, a lot of sites, Mexican official, and especially here on BD have...

Okay when your dealing with kids you need to keep in mind... it is very common for kids to have ear problems, this is perfectly normal... very prone to ear infections etc... one of the leading causes for having tonsils removed. This also makes them very prone to getting seasick, may not...

Ebay is the most convienant, any on line pharmacy from AU or the UK should have it too. Epharmacy,com out of AU is where I used to get it, now I have a friend who works for the airlines and she gets it for me so I don't have to pay for shipping.

I keep hearing the same shit over and over.... all you have to do is go on Ebay and buy some Kwells and your problems are gone. It has the same ingredients as scopace only half as much, it is made by Bayer a well know and trusted company. It isn't sold in this country because the company that...

WHAT?? You don't like Mexican food? Lobsters are just going for some recycled Mexican food, gives them that spicy taste. The rain/run off stirs up the bottom which gets more food stirred up so they are out to get in on it. Get out of the bay and hit some spots near the surf and you will...

Doug I thought you were smarter than that... your numbers are deceptive, it would be better to say get sick and get sea sick. Obviously you don't get sea sick or you would understand it better. People often get sick for a variety of reasons and it only happens once in a while, but true sea...

my 18' Invader has a 50 gal tank and has been from the 410 to the 277 and in some nasty conditions, a lot of those trips were solo, tied off on a few of them. Only gotten wet once, the boat is capable of doing more than I have the balls to do. There is a fine line between balls and stupidity.

Here in Ca you have to request a pink slip for your trailer or they don't give you one. You don't need a pink all you need is a bill of sale, if there are no numbers on it they will issue you some, on a metal plate with tape on the back, really funky. The inspection here is nothing and usually...

This is true, good hooks are hardened steel and not easy to cut. Otto, if you want to be safe check out noaa's web site they have a list of things you can use. The only thing I remember about shooting at them is if you were using rubber bullets. I was pretty good with a sling shot as a kid...

I will be out there tomorrow, I'll be on 72

Shoot what? noaa has a list of things you can use, I have never seen anything about shooting next to them. I recommend a sling shot, it is on the list of things legal to use. Take a milk jug out and practice a little and they work great. When I have hit them they take off and don't come...

You better be drinking a lot or hope you don't get sick or you will find out why people will say they thought they were going to die, and wished that they would. Oh yeah, there is nothing like your body wanting to throw up and there is nothing left in your stomach to throw up... that is...

I've never had to take more than two

There is a guy on this board, i think he is mobil, his name on here is "Just in time". He is a good dude and seems to know his shit. He has answered my questions, was always right and never charged me a dime.

If your going to be using anything Ginger you really need to check out the ingredients closely, a lot of things, especially ginger ale, don't even have ginger in them, they have ginger flavoring, and there is nothing ginger in ginger flavoring.... it's just chemicals.

thanks for the info.

it might be a little help if you said which web site you were trying to use, which one directed you to it etc etc...

Way to go Cody, keeping hope alive. Looked like nice conditions too. Thanks for the report. When I grow up I want to fish just like you, unfortunately I might grow out, probably grow old but won't grow up anymore... I'll keep trying anyway.

I couldn't resist

So what is the name of the lure?

When I was a kid you could catch 5-7lb. Bonita at the bait barge and 15lb were common and all day long for private boats at the kelp beds, you didn't fish off of the sport boats, the sport boats took you out to a barge.

No asshats!? No asshats?? Did you pinch yourself to make sure you weren't dreaming?

thanks for the report, sounds like you guys had a great time.

Yep BOAT stands for Break Out Another Thousand, I've put over 16K in mine in the last year, it's an expensive habit. Oh well, it's only money, and how can you put a price on the memories you can make... like going out with a weather forecast of 10k wind and 2' swell so you go out and there is...

Dam dude you would drive from Covina to San Diego just to hoop for a couple of hours and then drive Back to Covina.... I don't know if that is desperation or dedication. Considering you could come all this way just to be fogged out, that's a little more effort than I would make, or anyone...

Alright Cody, way to go bud. You make it look so easy, guess that is how it is when you know what your doing huh. Have a good one, talk to ya soon.

thanks for the report. wtg nice solo too.

Stuman I was sure if you tried it you would like it. I make everything, When the company I used to work for finished a job they threw away everything that was left over and i got all the material to build my hoop nets and everything that went with them, including the floats. I didn't...

I put rebar in the long center section, with caps on the pvc you could fill them with sand. I put the caps on the ends for looks, it made them look cleaner and it kept crap from getting in there. It may have given them some buoyantcy but with the weight in them you would never notice it...

I don't know, I don't hoop in the bay. I have used them in the bay a few times and there wasn't an issue,

NO! Fuck all that... it's time we make them leave the state. I'm used to getting kissed when I get fucked. No kiss.... no reach around... no talking dirty... they don't even offer any lube... it;s just 2' and dry you used to hear, who's your daddy, who's your daddy. now it's just...

The straight bait chopper thing is a heavy 6" floor scrapper that has been sharpened. Mine is so old you can't read the brand name on it any more, I probably bought it at Home Depot, but that is a "probably". I just bought one for a friend and I got it at Home Depot, the handle is a little...

I don't know, I hoop on the edge of the kelp beds all the time and have never had a problem with it. I would imagine anything that would get hung up on that would get hung up on your rope too. I have had kelp on them before... maybe because I am never far away from them and when I set the last...

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Keep in mind I usually wrap the rope up tight and use the clasp on some of the rope to hold it that way, I un-did the clasp and took off a little rope to get the sub float out of the way so you could see the rope holder and how the rope was on it...

This is a picture of my system, been using it for 15 years with no problems. the float has an 18" x 3/4 PVC going through it with a female connector at the bottom, wrapped with reflective tape, my phone number and an LED light on top. It attaches to the rope holder that has a male threaded end...

It always amazes me.... you go out in the day and people smile at you and wave, act very friendly. Then you go out at night and it's dr. Jeckle and mr. Hyde, they act completely opposite as in the day time. I don't think etiquette is the right word, your looking at words like ignorant...

Float isn't lit and you can't see it. other wise you are absolutely right.

This is why you can't take them till they are 3 1/4, that way they will have gone through 2 breeding cycles. There is no problem with breeders or the condition of the fishery, all they would have to do is stop taking females for a couple of years and the limit could go back to 10. Of course...

Way to go bud, did you try any of those tricks I told you? Nice looking bugs, why am I not surprised? You da man. Don't worry about those fish, when the cycle goes from dines to chovies they will be back. I remember fishing with my dad and uncle and they threw the seat overboard so we could...

loosing your nets is the price for being stupid, rude and inconsiderate.

Legal for use on seals yes, legal for use on humans, NO. I am sure you must have heard the story of David and Goliath... then it should come as no surprise that would be assault with a deadly weapon. You can only use one step of force greater than what comes at you, going straight to...

I sent you a message, forgot to mention I live in Clairemont and we can use my boat sometimes if you want.

They aren't going to a store and buying them, doing whatever you have done to improve them. Giving up the space to store them. loading and unloading them from the boat. finding a spot to use them. Getting and storing the bait that will go in them. Doing the work needed to keep them usable...

Very true and easy to spot in person, the guy who doesn't run his mouth when he is out and about, keeps his back against the wall, and is always aware of what is going on around him. The term "talks the talk and walks the walk" comes to mind. It's like carrying a stun gun, it's okay if your...

+++ So you must have a better idea, lets hear it

I know there are laws about pulling your gear, especially commercial traps. Just for shits and grins call the coast guard tomorrow and tell them the story and say you have the cf numbers and you want to press charges. After they tell you there is nothing they can do, ask them what you can do...

Berrymans B12 Chemtool works way better, shoots a good 20'+ stream.

My license cost me $38 it took less than 10 min. it came as a pdf and I can print it out as many times as I need to. A one year permit was $20

Not according to the site I use. Maybe you were told that because that is all they sell. buying the bracelet is a waste of time and money compared to buying a year permit. Just like all the other requirements it is impossible to confirm with the Mexican navy because they treat all that...

I use these guys, try going there and look on Mex regs section https://www.californiasportfishing.org/fmm-visitor-form

Maybe you haven't noticed you haven't seen any of Hardcores videos for a while.... He got tired of all the negative shit he had to listen to just for trying to help people. Can't say I blame him, I got tired of it too and don't put out any reports either. That shit gets old fast, so think...

I watch it all the time and I haven't seen any that were 59. As for the author of the post that inspired this reply, you should make an apology, of course that is what a real man would do. just a thought

thanks for the info

thanks for the report

thanks for the report

How many uses do you get out of it?

What does it cost

less crime there isn't there? and they have the same problems there we have here, only you don't fuck with people who might be able to defend themselves. yep they are closer to that ride a horse and carry a gun i was talking about.

Well I'm proud of you who took the time to look for the law, keep looking and you will find one that says exactly what I quoted. Again I have to say my favorite saying, "you have to know the rules if your gonna play the game and win" Remember this, they don't take laws off the books they just...

As you can tell by the different comments on this thread, a little different story from a few. I don't know what to think about some people, I was outside the 371 and heard a call to anyone at the 371 asking how the conditions were. This guy replies that it's calm with 2 maybe 3' swell, my...

yep... you could make about ten of todays with the material it took to make one of those and they get about 20x as much for them. It's fine with me I'm not paying for them just enjoying the show. And the guys are going in the opposite direction. I liked the op shorts, didn't show the crack...

Christian, get that bilge pump fixed? you did good last week, it was rougher than shit on the outside couldn't see kelp or anything with the white caps, all we got was a long boat ride. we will be out in that same area tomorrow too, will be on 72.

nope but you can look it up, start under fish and game code. I have hundreds of laws like this and I just don't have the time right now the hard part is knowing they exist without finding out the hard way.

I don't use an Iphone and my view on guns is pretty well known. I have no problem saying what I think, either you like me or you don't but you will always know where you stand and what I am about.

I know lots of people who have been ripped off at Dana and SI, that is why I never go there. I don't usually carry when going to Mexico, but I am never empty handed when going back to my truck or my boat. The problem is I am an old fuck and I shouldn't be, but I am and always have been very...

KIMH You have nothing to be sorry about looking out for people's safety. I did a cut and paste from the place I got my info, it seems like a credible source and I quoted what I learned there. Like I said I'm like the kid who learns the shit in school but doesn't use it. Just because I...

triggered?

I don't ever do this and was going off memory of what I had read and I did mis quote map tools saying "most" instead of "many" my bad. If that is the worst mistake I ever make, I can live with it. I spent my time to try and give these guys an idea of what it is they are looking at and how it...

my source of info is "map tools" which say maps use true north but most marine charts use mag. north, which makes the most sense to me since most boats have a compass.

yes but most pills aren't intended to be dissolved in your mouth and taste like shit, if you like that taste have at it.

I know you guys are used to weather we are not but could you give some input on the conditions there, wind and swell. thanks, going out tomorrow and that would help

this is true, i was trying to give a quick and easy to understand explanation of why they use min. and sec without being to confusing. This is why I didn't go into detail with North.... true north and mag. north and how to syc them. also why good maps have the info listed and marine charts...

John I think they simply need to learn if they poke the goat, they will get the horn. I am sure you know what I mean. These are the kind of people that made hank williams write that song about assholes, we all know a few of them.

Now youre talking about real sailors. not so good in the fog, but definitely old school. Today we have a hard time getting people to understand that Polaras is the north star, that it doesn't move like he other stars, because none of the stars move, it's the earth that moves. it all makes...

Okay there are three different formats, decimal degrees, degrees and decimal minutes, and my favorite, degrees minutes and seconds. what do the symbols mean, how does it relate to time, and what do the numbers mean? the ' foot symbol means minutes and the " inch symbol means seconds. there are...

there you go, the patch, scope, and kwells are all made with the same ingredients, only Kwells is probably less expensive and made to dissolve in your mouth if you are already sick and easier to adjust the amount that you take if you don't need as much as you get with the patch or scope. get it...

I'm glad to hear that. I would rather risk pissing you off and being alive than say nothing and feeling guilty because i should have, weren't you going back out today? what did you get, any fish out there and how was the wind. Your lucky you were as close in as you guys were, when you got a...

if you lived in san diego i would come over and help you with it, it is an easy fix really, depending on how old and rusty everything else is. is it a tube axle... 3500 the spindle is probably pressed on if it is. if it is square it is probably welded.

ok it spun.... did it maintain that "camber" the whole time? pull the tire and wheel, then remove the carter pin, the nut and washer, the bearings and hub.... the spindle is what those things go on. With that stuff removed look at the spindle, does it look straight with the axle? or does it...

I thought we were gonna have a winner.. okay if you are using a compass and a chart, what is it that you are determining? how do you determine it?

Baby J I know how you feel, but if you want to win the game you have to play it smart. You got the best advice possible from liltrouble. You need to remind yourself that you want something form them, it isn't a question of if they owe it to you or you deserve to get it, all that matters is...

you will see, the problem is at the spindle and axle connection, that is why the wheel looks like the camber is off, the wheel will probably spin just fine but will be at an angle, like the camber in a front end... bearings the wheel would wobble all over and you would feel the wheel move in...

Something you all have obviously over looked or missed... the paper work says in several places that is not to be relied on for navigation, in fact if you look at any unit and any brand they will all say that. Have you ever thought about what you would do if you lost all power? You should...

I have the same unit something most people don't know is powering it up when not in the water isn't good for your ducer Check the ground, check the ground, check the ground, the ground is the most common problem with them. Check on that warranty period because mine is for one year I...

what kind of axle is it? a 2"round 3500 for example? if it is one like that the spindles are pressed into the axle, you probably tweaked that connection, it is the weak spot. pull the wheel and hub and expose the spindle, you can eye ball it and you will know if it is bent... that is more...

You must have been close to the coast on the ride down there, the water in your pics didn't look anything like what we were in, not to mention the fog with about 10'vis. The weaher report changed within an hour of when we went out, called for the 15 kt wind and 3' wind waves in the afternoon so...

I have one on my boat, hope I never use it.

ahhhh I don't know about that... fuckin a couple bisexual bitches ranks pretty high

I don't want to sound like a prick or some asshole but having been down this road before, before it even starts let me make it clear. It is important to me to let someone know about laws or whatever that I am aware of and they are not, period. It is not my job, obligation, requirement or...

If you are launching your boat in Mexico then... to cross the border and get into Mexico you will be required to have a passport, a TIP ( for all of your vehicles,boats, trailers etc.) and a Visa. Keep in mind there are several different types of Visas.... depending on how you are entering...

Dude I have info on so many bullshit laws you wouldn't believe it. This is one of hundreds of laws that they aren't enforcing, but like I said "just because a law isn't enforced doesn't mean it isn't the law" Our justice system is so bad, they don't take laws off the books they just write new...

It's true that the Mexicans aren't really concerned about a passport when you are in territorial waters, it doesn't put any money in their pocket, but they do want a fishing license. However the United States have laws that specifically states you are required to have a passport to leave or...

If you go to Sportfishing of California they have links and explanations for everything you will need. look in the top right corner of the sites you will go to and there is a spanish/english option. you can also use google chrome it has translation as an option...

That's true but it's probably not because of the truck but because of the mad man driving it. I am really a nice guy but I have no patience for rude inconsiderate people.

one of my favorite sayings is.... the ocean is a very unforgiving place, shit happens and it happens fast.

yes, when people go into the water like that they usually don't realize how you will drift and how the boat will drift are different... and then there is getting back on it ( a private boat ) if there is no swim step or ladder that is one hell of a long way to pull yourself up. Glad you...

The front with some old fart standing next to it. It is a firemist dark rootbeer brown, I dusted the curve in the hood, top or the cab and around the wheel wells with ghost pearl red. The top of the bed, the curve on the doors and top of the front fenders with ghost pearl gold. The wheels...

Your right, this one could help someone, and it happened last year. Not offshore though. I was going to the Islands in a friends boat and one of his buddies. ( this guy has owned several boats and been doing it for 4 years that I know of) We are getting close to the Islands and the motor...

Thank you John, I appreciate your comments more than you can imagine, I like reading this forum just for the reasons you mentioned. I certainly wouldn't consider any of you " unwashed Northen Deplorables " I have nothing but respect for you. I understand what you are saying about the...

I have several entertaining stories I could share, but after giving it some serious thought I think I will keep the stupid shit I have gotten myself involved in that could have cost me my life and not let everyone know that I too have done some very stupid things that I was lucky enough to get...

I do that.... usually at the first paddy we see

Just to add a little something for your argument. A boat trailer, built correctly, is different and much harder to build than say a cargo trailer. first you have three different kinds, 1. doesn't work. usually, because it wonders all over the road and is the easiest to realize it isn't working...

Just cut back on the butter and the beers to chase it with and enjoy the show.

You guys are missing out on the thrill and adventure in life, you need a tow vehicle like mine to get that back. A 1956 1/2 ton Chevy Cameo 4x4, the Cameo is a special production truck that has a fiberglass bed, so your boat can out weigh your truck. Of course the 4x have one ton running gear so...

Why do you guys keep fucking with this shit? Go on ebay and get some Kwells, it's made by Bayer, same ingredients as scopamine only half the dosage, it's in pill form you can let it dissolve in your mouth so you can even take it if you are already sick. KWELLS end of problem.

You got the touch bud. WTG

I just got one two days ago, I use the same site I use for all my Mexican paper work. Sportfishing Association of California I have noticed the last two years, they will send you an email with a link to print your license, but when you click on it it will bring up your proof of payment, and...

We were getting ready to leave when we saw this guy and I had just taken my helmet cam off and put it away. typical. I keep getting asked if I was scared... not at all, I have seen plenty of sharks out there, close to the boat too it was no big deal.... when the scary shit happened, it...

they are seeing more gw than ever before thanks to all the seal loving assholes... probably see more of every kind since there is plenty for them to eat.

You didn't have to dive in on the paddy's we found, all you had to do was look over the side of the boat and you could see them everywhere.... had lockjaw for sure.

Those seiners must have been working hard because we were out there 8-20 and there were a lot of kelps holding fish and micro bait, just wouldn't go with anything we had, but lots of fish.

We found lots of paddy's out there too, holding fish and micro bait... tried everything we had but couldn't get them to go.

I've eaten plenty of mushrooms back in the day, no one was laughing or thought it was funny

When I told my friend, no booze no drugs, he said, really? I said the ocean is a very unforgiving place, shit happens and it happens fast, if for some reason shit happens I want you on your A game not half in the bag. whatever happens is something you won't expect. What do you think when...

No he wasn't, but he might have been pissing in his pants when that head came out of the water

So true... and when you don't smoke, drink, snort, shoot, or pop, you may be boring but you can last more than five min in a fight and have sex for most of the night

For just the fishing info and not interested in the story. Can't give some of the important info your looking for like exact location or water temp other than way west of the 302, I was a little busy and never even looked. After the fog lifted and the sun came out the water was clear and very...

Way to go Cody and thanks for the call, I had my hands full and was already way west of the 302, didn't catch anything but had a very memorable day. Ted Nugent had the best response to those questions, "you got to kill it to grill it"

Thank you

Thanks Cody, that is a great bag of fish, fun to catch and good to eat. Was the water still green or is it clearing up some? Thanks for the report, you killed them as usual, excellent job.

actually the four blade will give you a better hole shot and more top end. Go to a prop shop and try some and you will find out for sure which one works the best for your boat.

I don't have the same boat but I switched to a four blade and really like it. You might spend a little more but going to a shop they will usually let you try a couple to find the one that works the best for you.

Way to go, that is making some memories. I am happy for you. Also, I had no problem reading anything you wrote.

Everyone has their own preference and who is to say what is "really" best. Personally I like spectra to flr. with no stretch because you can feel the bait better. I like longer leaders because I retie a lot or a top shot longer than I will be casting so the knot isn't going through the eyes...

using the gps it will come back and land itself, i'm going to try putting something down, like a sleeping bag for it to land on that won't let it slid around and get thrown into something. The bottom line I think is how the conditions are... wind, swell, wind waves etc.. Personally I don't see...

Shewillbemine the drone has 2 modes that do what you are talking about, sort of. One is circling flight where is goes to a height and distance away that you set, and shoots video of you while it circles you. Another mode is a follow me, it will shoot video of you as you are moving, either...

I have just been experimenting with this, used it in the bay to see what kind of problems I have to solve. In these conditions using the self landing mode has worked fine, this is what I would try and use, it isn't the rocking of the boat as much as it is the wind. Going out early in the kelp...

it's real time, you can view it on the monitor that comes with it, record it using wifi or copy it off of the sd card in the camera. the drone has a gps in it and so does the controller, the drone follows the gps in the controller... faster, slower, right, left etc. it records what is...

the one I have will do that right out of the box, a follow me mode. it will also fly around you at the height and distance away that you set and shoot video of you or your boat. It has point of view and wifi so you can see and record what it sees.... just what you want. It has self take off...

try doing a search on google, they have setups for drones with clips for dropping bait that have been out for a while. haven't done it myself just watched the videos.

Yep that's why I don't fish the cattle boats. It's called "Sportfishing" not very sporting if the fish does't have much of a chance. I fish 15# all the time, a Garcia promax freshwater reel and a 7' freshwater rod. PB on light gear is a 37# BFT. I've been fishing out here since the 50's...

there is a fine line between balls and stupidity. not hating, just stating a fact

I'm ambidextrous and just naturally used my right hand for right handed things like guns and skill saw, in fact the only thing i had a hard time with was throwing darts. Growing up my dad like spinning reels and that is what I used most, when I got my jigmaster and my senator they were right...

Is it April !

used those a long time ago, worked good for tuna.

John just gave some good advice. Don't even consider electric unless you want to replace them once a month. I have a big time stopping problem, my tow vehicle is a 56 Chev 4x4 which is one ton running gear with the big brakes... but that is drum brakes. I can go from 0 to 100 in a heart beat...

sounds like us on Thurs. put 125 miles on the boat, 182,226, 302 and west... didn't see one kelp, no more than ten birds, no marks... finally hit point loma for a couple of bass to get the skunk off. Got some nice Bass, had a good time with an old friend, boat ran good and we made it home...

for what possible reason would you want to run through a paddy? what, are you new?

The weekend is to crowded for me Joe, hopefully I'll be able to give some Intel on how it was on Thurs. or Fri. Being able to go during the week is the only advantage to being retired, being self employed I could do it a lot but when your older and retired you can tell everyone to go fuck...

The Mexican Federal government also requires everything to be insured through a Mexican insurance company. just an FYI

TIP is Temporary Import Permit, it has nothing to do with the DMV and it is required for all boats, cars, trailers, etc. it is an import fee from Mexico

A TIP is only required when in Mexico, land or Mexican waters. Outside of 12 miles is Mexican territorial waters and a TIP is not required. The TIP is good for ten years, who ever applied for the TIP originally is the only one who can cancel it. You will need some kind of written declaration...

I don't know that it would do you any good doing what you said and going through one of the landing because if you are on a private boat you would need the manifest so my advice would be to continue with the due diligence because that doesn't make sense to me. good luck and let us know what...

Yes everyone is required to have a fishing license. All the other stuff is only require if you are within 12 miles of land.

what you put up there are only pics. and not a full or recent requirements by the Mexicans. I doubt if they would bother asking for a passport because only the fishing license puts money in their pocket. However your own country, the United States, requires that you have a passport to leave or...

God Dammm.... Are you shittin me! The first thing I would recommend is moving those two tanks.... out of the boat, into the garage, and on craigs list, ebay or any where other than where they are. There is a reason the manufacturer sets the boat up like it was. When you spend a lot...

Way to go Cody, glad to see you got the boat going again and back at it... hopefully I'll see you out there next week, maybe a little less wind by then

Did you apply for a TIP last year? That is how it reads. "I did get the TIP successfully before getting FMM this season." If you did, that is why you got the response you did, the TIP is good for 10 years, they probably thought you lost your paper work. You can save yourself a little money...

Matt... I'm glad to see you can keep a sense of humor about the situation. It sucks and I feel your pain, but when we take a step back and look at the real tragedies that happen in life every day this wasn't that bad, it was only a fishing pole it wasn't you. I was just busting your balls in...

How long have you been fishing? Do you go out and beat your thumb with a hammer because it feels good when you stop? Just checkin We are all guilty of doing some stupid shit, usually you learn after the first one.... I have seen it happen to others... a lot I'm still waiting to have...

When we were kids fishing at the model yacht pond my friend had his pole on the grass and it got pulled in, the next day we were fishing in the same place and I got a fish and it had a hook and line in its mouth.... pulled the line in and it was my friends rod and reel. The very next day...

Well the model looks like she had a good time, good day on the water, thanks for the report

pretty stand up for all the guys who gave the new guy all the info... proud of you all, what goes around comes around

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: you so funny

CalicoFisherman14 I think your going to be like that old saying, when you snooze you loose. There are five people interested in this now, one guy wanted to come and get it today but I can't do it till the weekend. There is no doubt you will never come across a deal like this. Dude if you are...

I have 4 brand new in the box trailer tires with rims, 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern. st 205/75 D 15 $450 thats a savings of over $200

Take it from someone who knows, he is hooked for life. I was and have been doing it ever since. I'm not sure how old I was, but under nine. I used to wrap myself around the bait tank (a pony keg ) and I can still hear my dad saying, "don't let go of that pole"

I'll take a picture of it tomorrow

God dam I was willing to give this to you and you aren't all over it? Do you really want a boat?

NO Rosarito is not a port, you want to put down Ens. Ensenada. : [email protected] If you go to this website it has step by step instructions with links and explanations https://www.californiasportfishing.org/fmm-visitor-form Next time if you are going alone because you don't know...

I go alone all the time and it sucks... it is harder to find fish, and it really, really sucks when you catch one and you can't get the fucker in the boat because your alone and can't get it over the rail.

I told you to upgrade that life insurance, then she would be much more eager to see you leave. I go alone all the time, nothing is going to happen that wouldn't happen if someone was with you. It has always got my girlfriend and my daughter all upset. I don't have much time left and don't...

Man I pull right up to that fucking thing, get on my bull horn and yell... "Every body, get the fuck off of my paddy" then run around the boat acting like some kind of fuckin lunatic. They usually leave after that. :rofl: :rofl: :frehya2:

The dog looks good and sounds like she will be a good one. I am really happy for you.

The dog looks good and sounds like she will be a good one. I am really happy for you.

Just for shits and grins how about posting up where you got that information from and the date it was published

sorry you didn't get any. Thanks for the report

I don't have my original poles any more, my dog ate them... but I do still have the Penn Senator and the Mitchell 302 I bought as a kid... that's right a Mitchell there was no Garcia yet. My daughter doesn't like boats but I did take her fishing a few times, I made up for that with my...

woodfish330 your post brought back many memories, I remember Mission bay as a mud flat we would walk across at low tide and then they dredged it, dredges ran 24/7. Growing up in P.B. we fished MB almost every day after school until dark thirty, the best fishing in the bay was the model yacht...

Kevina you probably don't understand what he is trying to say because you have a brain, don't talk to little kids every day, and can figure out what you need to fish Mexico like most adults who have at least an average IQ, for the other half of the adult population they need to hire an attorney...

some times if you are using a different format than a typical html when you post it, it will remove all the punctuation... guess how i know. Having a post that is one long sentence is very hard to read... even if you have a magic decoder ring.

If you report fish at the nine then everyone and their brother will be out there in a row boat... if you only report fish 20+ miles out then the googins stay in the kelp beds. That's all bullshit, I'm just fuckin with ya.

It's a good thing you got the TIP, the Mexican navy makes the rules for on the water. At one time you only needed the TIP if you made land, went to a port, but along with the FMM the rules for the TIP changed to read entering Mexican waters. There are a lot of businesses and persons posting...

Cody... I looked through my garage and aluminum shade and couldn't find it, I finally got a hold of Bob to make sure he took it and he confirmed he got it. Then he tell me he didn't use it, he sold it. I was livid, this is the kind of shit I get with these people I know, I gift him something...

way to stick with it guys! thanks for the report

There's that karma coming back I was talking about, it's always nice to save a day that started out bad. I might have a helm and a 13' cable with it you can have, never been used. I told a friend of mine he could have it and a fish finder over six months ago, he never took the fish finder...

Thanks for the report

Good job dude, thanks for the report! 👍

Just set them up with some sea sick meds, kids are prone to ear infections which goes along with sea sickness and you don't want them to get turned off to it... and make sure they catch a lot, they won't care what it is.... and they will sleep all the way home. and please make sure they...

Making memories is what it is all about. I started taking my grandson at about 4 or 5, set him up with a sabiki and got lots of chum for the next trip. didn't care what he caught as long as he caught a lot of it. Now he is 15 and hooked. My dad got me hooked early on too.

pics please, income, car, home owner, must like dogs, none smokers, bi sexual would be a bonus (girls that is) NO want monsters I may be easy but I'm not sleazy they got to have some class if I'm gonna tap that ass

You need to find some new friends... have the same problem and end up going alone most of the time. Got a big tuna, alone, long, long fight... got it to the boat and couldn't get it in the boat, almost pulled me over the rail and I ended up watching it swim away with my gaff in it.

Sunscreen! You don't deserve to catch any fish. Take some of that bait, mush it up with your hands and rub that on your face... won't help for the sunburn but you will smell like you were at the titty bar and got your money's worth.

4' is a waste of your money, they are useless.

No questions? Welcome to BD

you must be high

Hey welcome to California, where they fuck you with a smile.... and while they are shaking hands with you with their right hand, their left hand is in your pocket. The government that is, the residents are alright, they carry lube because they are used to getting fucked, no kiss, no reach...

since I don't know what the question is, if your looking for FMM or TIP you can find all the links here. https://www.californiasportfishing.org/fmm-visitor-form

what model is your Garmin?

What is the question?

You do have to have the FMM before you can get the TIP, but if you mailed it to them they will have it in the computer, they don't always send you back anything for the FMM. The TIP will take about a week.

Okay, thanks for clarifying that for me.

So the bank wouldn't let you use your card, and you changed the letter to a 0 ? Thanks for letting me know I don't want to be giving that out if it doesn't work... thanks. The numbers on your card and your book won't be the same but they should be tied together on their computer... here...

What a miserable day, I would much rather be working.... well that is what my ex-wife would have said. way to go! making memories with the buds... you will talk about it as the good ol days when your my age. 👍 thanks for the report

way to go bud, even got one of my favorites. I told you that karma would be coming back around 👍 I'll be talking to you soon.

okay i haven't done this myself but was just told by someone else that they didn't use the letter and put in a 0 instead and they had no problem since I haven't done this personnaly but going off of what I was told, if you try it please let me know if it worked or if it didn't.. thanks

when you get your card it says you can use it to get an fmm. I don't know how they did it but I know people who said they did with the card. and last, what good would it be if you couldn't. there is something you can do because others have done it but i have no clue what it is.

I know other people have had this same issue, I think the system has issues with using the card, mexico and local flights are all they are good for, one problem, even if you had the book, the numbers are different on the card and on the book...but their computer knows both numbers are you...

thanks for the report

2700 hrs is a lot of hours in my opinion, a lot of that is about how well it is maintained. Just remember how much they cost new... also there are a lot of moving parts in a four stroke that there aren't in a 2 stroke and they are expensive to rebuild. I think you have seen better prices here...

Wow I can't believe how many people are looking for outboards, I wasn't trying to sell one, just making a comment and have had seven p.m.'s it's a Mercury 90 hp., 2000, 20" shaft, approx. 700 hrs. runs good, always been very dependable, wiring harness, binnacle, not fuel injection I just...

I read this and a couple others that said they added a balloon so it wouldn't sink out Like i said I don't know shit about these kites, I said that up front so anyone reading it wouldn't think differently... I hate it when someone acts like they know all about something and they are just...

Dam dude you are too nice.... not to bust your balls but those are triple digits last I heard 1 0 9 yep there are three. way to go and thanks for the report

Are you referring to your TIP Temporary Import Permit? These take about 10 days, don't remember the cost but they are good for 10 years. make sure you get your FMM first or it won't go through. go to this web site and all the information along with links are there...

Let me start by saying I don't know shit about the kites you guys are using but I have heard a lot of guys complaining about their kite sinking out if it goes in the water and some saying they have to use a balloon on it so it won't sink out, is this a problem for everyone? I have several two...

Are you referring to the response for the FMM? If so it may not come, people have told me they have never gotten a response, just make copies of everything you have and take it with you, it has worked for them. as long as you have your receipts showing you paid for everything you should be good.

I got a great 90

boat is an 87 you will never get a deal like this one.

That's what I was told when I flew my first four string kite half hour later it was a snap you will get it.

I've got a nice Bayliner Bass Stryker, 14', 50 hp outboard, galv. trailer, fish finder, gps, trolling motor, trailer and hull in excellent shape, upholstery needs work, boats been sitting for a few years, I'm the original owner, boat and motor only have 250 hrs on them. I want this to go to a...

on the manifest it will ask for a date to enter and a date to leave Mexico, usually you make those dates six months apart. that is the only thing i can think of that gives the time frame, but it is good for six months, only good for one entry and one departure but you have six months to do it in.

I haven't gotten one yet this year, you know they had the border closed so this could have something to do with it. I have been down to TJ at least once a month for the last six months and they never said anything to us about not going down there, but they turned away a lot of people. both...

my trailer broke an axle so I won't be going out for a while. how was the fishing, heard they were catching lots of yellow tail. looked like it would be a nice day on the water

hey Doug, what part of town do you live in? What kind of work are you looking for right now? Got lots or experience in multiple trades, got my B1 license in 78 had my own business for ten years, then I got divorced and had to give the ankle everything I owned. You know what an ankle is...

My ass has been chewed out so much you wouldn't want it.

even if you pay someone to do it you will still have to supply the documents, you are the one that has them. Just copy them in pdf format. go to the link I put up, it is for California Sportfishing Association, they step you our with links there, it is really easy to do.... the first time...

I go through California Sportfishing https://www.californiasportfishing.org/fmm-visitor-form

[email protected] this is the address i have

Do you have a copy of your receipt for payment? They lag on getting back to you, however this is a little more than lag. You have paid for it right? Just take a copy of the manifest you mailed to them along with a copy of your receipt to show them and you should be fine. Just tell the...

Well at least you got to spend some time with the kids making memories, next time it will be better. thanks for the report

Great job guys, good on you for releasing it. Thanks for sharing the video and report.

Nice thread Maybe I'll change my mind tomorrow, I have done that. That has got to be the most negative threads I've read pretending to be positive and supporting. maybe it's just me it's been a long day.

Alright dude... way to go on the hookup, sorry it got away. I know how that feels, been in the same situation alone, had it gaffed good and couldn't get it in the boat. I put 100 lb bags of cement and color coat in the back of my 4x4 so I'm not exactly weak. it cost me a jig, a gaff, and...

nice fish, all of them. thanks for the report

I don't have one but I have a friend who does and he has something similar and his runs a wash down pump. My guess would be they tried to add an accessory and are trying to hitch hike off of the lighter for a power source, not something I would recommend but that is just a guess too. If that is...

Welcome to BD Randy, what part of Clairemont are you in? I'll buddy boat with you some time

I don't have one of these but isn't the center deck just screwed on? I am sure you know and I am going by memory of the one I looked at years ago.

The tanks I have made, out of fiberglass, had a skirt around them. I did that for looks but it is what I would say makes all the difference because it helps the glass tanks be cooler. If the only consideration is which works the best then I would have to say the glass tanks. Of course...

First boat? my advice would be to do as much on your boat as you can, don't be afraid to fail that's how you learn. The more you do on it the better you will know it It's not something you can just park and walk home. The more you know about it the better you can deal with it when something...

I agree, I think my tank is a Kodiak knock off. I have made some improvements to mine that make a huge diffenence but people have to be realistic, yes I have made some changes, but my time is myown.... the tank manufacturer is putting out a product that will work as good as it can and be made...

First of all I don't even know what kind of pump he has, and it probably doesn't seem to work fine, it probably does work fine. But like you said what you guys require and what someone down here requires are different. your plastic pumps like Rule for example have to mount below the water...

Doug is right about the 40 gallon but he has a little bigger ride than yours. The bigger the better but I think you need to look at something closer to 30 on your 18. Just make sure whatever size you get (the biggest you can fit comfortably) you want to mount it in the center of the boat and...

way to go guys. thanks for the report

Glad you guys got one Thanks for the report

woodfish330, after I wrote that I was afraid you might take it personnally,like i was directing it to you, I was not. The point was don't make a nice guy doing something nice, look like the bad guy. Personally I think the biggest problem is that guys have to list things that they shouldn't...

I can understand some of those requirements. It isn't the tips or suggestions that would be a problem as much as how many how stupid, when you have been doing this for over 50yrs. you probably have a clue for the obvious. I don't think anyone would like someone else helping themselves to your...

Well, that ruined dinner.

well you got one and had a good day on the water. Thanks for the report

good job, thanks for the report

yes you will need to wear a mask every where, don't be surprised if they also take your temp. Don't get to excited it won't be rectal. :rofl:
