HB, am wondering if the reel you had that seized up was not saltwater rated? Am not sure, but I always assumed salt water rated reels are made of non-corrosive materials and are sealed tighter, therefore do a better job of keeping the salt out of the inner mechanisms. I buy saltwater rated...

Thanks Estero. Good share.

Judging by the comments that Dirtsurfer has made on this forum over time and the fact that in his Avatar he's jumping a motocross bike at least 30 feet in the air, I would postulate he's about the last guy on this forum that would wet his pants if he seen a Mexican police car. Probably...

Wow. You've never even met me or know anything about me and accuse me of drunk posting at midnight and not being a man. You're a real winner, Jerry.

Ya, not sure but I think its a boat Jerry. Thoughts? Maybe you should get off your computer, go hop on one and go fishing for awhile rather than overposting on this forum every day.

Great video. Sure would like to buy one of those drones.

Been swimming in Rocky Point for 20 years, and may be mistaken, but I've have never heard of anyone getting attacked by a shark. I've seen em on the boat in deeper waters, caught smaller ones, and lost many a half-fish to em. Not saying they're not in shallower areas, just saying I agree with...

Ya, after you posted that reply I looked at alot of pics on the internet and you're 100% right. Good learning experience for me. Thanks.

Am real glad you brought that up. Both pics were of the same fish. As soon as I caught that fish the first thing that I thought is that it may be a totoaba and immediately throw it back, but it was hard to tell if it was WSB or a totoaba. I admit I was pretty nervous pulling into harbor with...

Kelney, forgot to mention it on my last post, but freedomaxle.com is a great website because if you can locate the stamped numbers on your brake drums your can cross reference them on this website and find the exact replacement bearings you need. Easternmarine.com and etrailer.com are a couple...

Truly am sorry about your brother Cholla, guess your brother and my Dad are up there reelin em in, huh? Thank you Jerry for the Fisherman's Blues song, I downloaded it and have played it several times in the last few days, love it. And thanks to each and everyone of you for your appreciated...

Kelney, about two months ago I was pulling my boat down from Yuma and my entire hydraulic/surge brake drum assembly/rim/wheel came off one of the wheels on my boat trailer (I assume I blew a bearing which must of then put pressure on the retaining nut/cotter pin), so I had to limp into Rocky...

Nice catch Hillbeartoe! Those triggers are great fighters, huh!

My father just passed away, at the strong happy age of 91. Yes, 91. He was a friendly, stubborn sharp-minded retired farmer who never rested. He loved fishing, spent most of his life tormenting fish at this one lake called Island Lake up in Canada, it was truly HIS lake. My mom and him spent...

You're right Ben, I've learned I only go out on my boat (26 ft) when the weather is great, when its too rough bang up the boat and passengers, use too much fuel, and can't stay on the reefs in the wind. I've used a few marine websites, and prefer windfinder.com, last few times I've been out...

When I got my boat a couple years ago went online to search for boat names, and noticed most boat names are feminine. Which may be part of the reason I was really tempted to name the boat "Harvey Dockbanger", for some reason really liked that name, thought it was really different and amusing...

Wish it was kilometers, but it's miles.

Ya, I know, nothing compared to what Stuart or the guys down in Puerto Lobos caught, but we did great earlier this week. Spent Wednesday night out on the boat at Area 51, perfect weather, woke up to misty blue calm seas, and an orange sunset popping out over the mountains in the background...

Agree with dmcauley. I just spent the last two days of perfect weather fishing Area 51, launched out of Safe Harbor, and didn't see an Top Secret CIA Seal Team 5 Mexican fish wardens in camoflauge climbing the sea walls of the marina secretly video taping boats. But I did see Arturo sleeping in...
