Towards the end of this month we'll be making a trip to Port Lobos, and since I've never been there and some of you Ladies and Gentlemen have and information you could share would be great! For instance, is drinking water and ice readily available? We'll be down there for about a week and...

How sad. Quick thinking- you know you saved that boys life.

Thank you guys for the kind words! Jerry, ya' shoulda' stopped by!

Obviously you'll also be looking dry rot in the stern wood, especially where the hypalon is glued to the wood. The wood finish can be re coated if needed, just make sure you use marine materials. Older boats here! Before I purchase a boat, make sure the registration plate is attached, once...

Beautiful rig! I'm envious!!! With a craft in that kind of condition, it would be really hard to kick the tires, so to speak! But, for the sake of others, there are a number of things I would check. Before I forget-create a bill of sale; and have it notarized-just like buying a car! ALSO...

Yeah, you're correct, RIB's are BA boats. But, these need a boat trailer and launching vehicle-so you're limited on where you can launch, and you have the same problem with recovering in bad surf. Plus, they're expensive, but they're gorgeous! For our inflatables we'll run a minimum of 8 hp, to...

RIB's provide a great ride, but like you said, the portability becomes an issue, and, you'll need a boat trailer... Then comes the problem with launching/recovering in rough water. Our inflatables we simply ride the breaker onto the beach, and if our timing is right, it's easy, but if your...

My next inflatable was a 14 foot Achilles. Once again, like the 10 foot Avon, a well made hypalon boat. Took that boat to San Carlos for fishing trip. Along for the ride was a very good friend (grew up in AK, fishing in the ocean with natives, spent years in the navy, lived in Texas, fished in...

Hi! Inflatables... they are a fantastic way to fish/play (we've towed tubes). But first some background info. Started fishing PP with my Father and Brothers in early 70's. Fished from tin boats, but when it became breezy, it was time to get off the water. Spent many days on shore looking at a...

Hi! Kenny was nice enough to forward your thread. Hopefully I'll be able to answer your questions and give you some ideas; We've been fishing out of inflatables for years. For now, I'd highly recommend you stay away from fish eagles and small electric motors, more info to follow. Don

Being I've never been to Lobos, is lodging readily available, or beach camping an option. How about launching the inflatables, do we have to travel far, or should we bring the wellcraft? Inflatables would make for a much cheaper trip.

I should have said, "how far from land do we need to be for trolling or reef fishing?" Usually I'll stay within 8 miles from shore. As far as ocean conditions... if you don't mind a bouncy ride and a little spray....

Hey Kenny / Jerry, Could we fish lobos from inflatables?

what's the price of unlead in PP?

What's the best deal for a hotel? Want to carpool?

Hey Kenny and Jerry, you guys up to making a long weekend trip down with the inflatables? Don

Great info! Hmm, gotta' make it down there for a cheap-inflatable (BOAT that is) trip in January.

Loved the story and pictures. Thanks for sharing your trip!

What an exciting trip! Thanks for the story. What kind of Kayaks were you fellas using? Did you purchase them, and would you recommend them? Don

Bummer on the boat repairs. You still caught a couple of nice fish though; not the brutes you normally land, but better than nothing.
