Ya know, for HALF of that 18,000, you could buy my Skipjack, and you'd have 300HP: http://www.rockypointtalk.net/showthread.php?2630-For-Sale-Great-Rocky-Point-boat-(fishing-diving-cruising) I'll make you a killer deal :veg:

Happy belated B-Day Stuart, from a fellow Libra ! Mine is tomorrow (9/24)

Here's my weekend update: The boat arrived at my house last Thursday night, filthy and covered with bugs from its cross-country trip. Spent most of Friday with the power washer and scrub brush just bringing it back to white... Saturday I thought I'd do a dry-test of all the systems and maybe...

Go fish the 16 mile reef on 210. You usually can't keep the Triggers off your bait.

Ahhh very cool- I haven't been on that lake in 25 years. Hey Rick- if you know anyone else over in California looking for an offshore fishing boat, can you point them at my Skipjack20? I gotta get this bad-boy sold. here's the ad...

Nice! Is that pic taken on Lake Pleasant? I might be out there next weekend (the 25th) running my new Mako and making sure everything is ready for her first Mexico trip. I hope you have a big fan (or air conditioning) in that California-style pilot house , lol. Sometimes in Rocky Point you...

One thing I've found is that the larger fish tend to hang on the edges (slopes) of the reefs- usually the triggers are on top. One tactic I used before I had a good collection of underwater reef coordinates build up was to head for Bird island- there is lots of underwater structure on the West...

Thanks everyone! I am obviously very excited. If any of you have been out to the Bass Pro Shops store in Mesa, then you might have seen the Yellow 234 Mako with twin Mercs that they have had on the lot since the store opened- I lusted after that boat for 3 years, but this one is even nicer...

That is a great point.... completely agree.

Or, more accurately, look what I snagged: http://showroom.auction123.com/doss_automotive_and_marine/inventory/8617/ID_865470035.html#lg It's a 2007 Mako 234 with twin 140 Suzuki 4-strokes. 250 hours on it. It's loaded- dual bait tanks, plenty of rod storage, insulated fish boxes. The only...

Ok, this information is old, since I haven't tried this method in probably 15 years, but we used to catch triggers from our inflatable float tubes about 100 yards out from competition hill. we would go into the water near the Reef Bar and row out until we were off the rocky shore. We would catch...

Awesome Video! I like how those Cortez Angels were getting all territorial with you... they are feisty. I'm setting up a trip to RP for the 1st weekend in Oct- if the water is smooth I might just have to make the 2 hour run down to Lobos.

Very Nice. While all you were sweating out on your boats in the water, I was at home sweating in the driveway rebuilding the trim tab hydraulics on my Skipjack. I've got that boat listed for sale and I want to make sure that everything is working properly and completely turn-key. I would...

Nice report... beautiful fish. Damn Doug, were you wearing Jeans out there? wasn't it a little warm for jeans? Sorry to hear your rebuild is still not running tip-top- hope you get thebugs worked out soon.

You're going down in about a month? like the end of September? For beach camping, September is hit or miss in my opinion. Some years the monsoon is still bringing rain in September so watch the forecast. Usually, the mornings and evenings in September are really nice, but mid day can still...

I'd love to be heading down labor day weekend, but I've got another fishing-related project in the works that will not be wrapped up by then... I have a trip down with two of my buds locked in for Sept 29-Oct 2.

Whew... choppy 3 foot whitecaps, 18 knot winds, and the Mateo says Severe Thunderstorms likely... As much as I want to get out on the water, I think I'm gonna wait for a better forecast.

That's a very cool research site- I hope it builds momentum.

Hmmm, let's see... 2 kids aged 7 and 4 that need to be raised to college age, a wife who is a stay at home mom, 2 college educations to finance, a mortgage that is 15% underwater loan to value, and me having more hobbies/interests than God... Yeah, I expect to be ready to retire exactly 1...
