Met a couple of friends in San Diego last week and we drove 200 miles south to San Quintin Baja.

The storm was bearing down on the Pacific coast so we knew it would be iffy.

We got out early Thursday and got to "the 240", an underwater volcanic peak, early.

The bite was all out.  Limits by 11:30.  We went in at 12:30 and the wind picked up and closed us out fo the next few days.  Can't wait to do it again.

I remember catching each fish but at the front of my mind is the big one that got away.  My drag was buttoned almost down on an HXJ Raptor with a 60# fluoro leader. None of the 15-20#ers took any line out at all.  The big one started ripping off line and I was slow (paralyzed) to move the lever towards full and...pop!

Hi, my name is Lee and I have a fishing gear problem.

I have all of the answers, yup, no, maybe.

There is nothing like lying flat on your back on the deck, alone except for the helmsman aft at the wheel, silence except for the lapping of the sea against the side of the ship. At that time you can be equal to Ulysses and brother to him.

Terrific Steve.  Who are your cohorts?  Members here?  Dominick
Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.

The first rule of fishing is to fish where the fish are. The second rule of fishing is to never forget the first rule.
