Primarily looking for people who can go out weekdays. I am retired. Usually keep crew limited to 3 persons. Sometimes 4 people. Smoking and light drinking is fine. Usual system, all costs are split evenly; fuel, ice and bait. Each person is responsible for their own food and drink. We either troll, fly a kite, drag spreader bars or bait fish. Just depends on what is biting. End of the day wash the boat and clean gear. We also split the day's catch so if your not into sharing. Oh well.
Boat is a wellcraft Costal 27 walk around, dual outboard motors 50 gallon livewell. We go hopefully, where the fish are so that means a lot of time is spent in Mexico waters so the required paper work to fish in Mexico (Mexico license and passport) is need by all persons aboard. Don't regularly fish the Coronado islands so the special permits are not needed. We depart from the San Diego area mostly Mission Bay.
If this sounds interesting respond here or email [email protected].
