    Inshore fishing report 5-2

    Hi Bill! I used 1.5 inch pvc. the pieces are glued into 4 sections. For instance the stern piece is one section, there are two longitudinal runners which attach to the front section. The four sections "slip fit" into the mating section. As you know, you can purchase pvc fittings either threaded...

    Inshore fishing report 5-2

    Yeah, in such a tiny boat, space is limited. So rods are out of the way, don't get damaged and we troll with several rods. We've trolled with as many as 4 rods (in the 14 footer), using different depth range lures. Not good for inexperienced fishermen though :o Oh yeah, lures HAVE got to be...

    Inshore fishing report 5-2

    Thanks Surfcaster. Its' packs up small, it'll fit in the trunk of a car, and you can carry to to beach over one shoulder and balance out the load with an outboard in the other hand. Everything gets wet while in an inflatable so, I never carry a camera anymore. The few pics I have are from a...

    Inshore fishing report 5-2

    "Thank you", for the kind words fellas. Your words, from the "Legends" of MEXFISH carry a lot of weight. For years, my son Jonathan and I have read your reports on Kiras' site and we've spent hours speaking of you, (we know your boats names) and your catches. Thanks for providing us with...

    Inshore fishing report 5-2

    Dang Stu, "You've got a great idea"! I'd never thought of replacing with a single hook. And you're correct, they'd never bend the 7/0 hooks I've got. I'll be going back on the 15th and staying for awhile so I'm definitely going to take your advice and exchange hooks. Thanks again! Are you...

Back to trolling, heading towards another waypoint. Boom, both rods get hammered! Slow the speed, grab first rod, another leopard, just a tad smaller...

    Inshore fishing report 5-2

    My son had a dive trip planned last weekend and since I couldn't get anyone to go with me such as KENNY, I took my small inflatable, an avon 10 footer which is rigged for fishing. Its powered by an 8 hp yamaha. After the dive class got going, I launched at PDO with flat, not even a ripple...

    My son and I had a fantastic :D trip to Rocky Point last weekend. The traffic was nonexistent, PDO was virtually empty and quiet. Temperature lows were in the low 60s (great sleeping weather), highs in the low 80's. Ocean was flat at 9:00 am, not even a ripple for the the students checkout...

    Sting Ray protection?

    Here's a picture of the boots my friends wear. Since wearing these, they no longer shuffle. They have felt "little tics" as rays lashed their tails at them. BTW, he does alot of night surf fishing and he wont go in the water without them. I've just placed an order a pair in anticipation and...

    Sting Ray protection?

    I've got a pair of heavy duty dive booties, great for protecting feet from cora. and they're heavier than these: http://www.dolphinscuba.com/EDGE_6_5mm_Deluxe_Boot_p/bt_3064-dps.htm. But the boots from Hodgman are much heavier and denser than dive booties. As Stuart can attest those barbs are...
