I just can't catch seabass.....it does'nt matter what I do I just can't catch them. Recently I was out on the Ultra fishing seabass and I got burned off on the first one and chewed off on the second. Its just one of those things I have to accept. I know they say "never say never" but I cant buy one of these guys....

Resources Secretary Chrisman is determined to push this MLPA through to the point that he is disregarding the law. In a letter to the Fish and Game Commission on June 1 he states: "On behalf of the Governor, I want to let you and your fellow commissioners know that California's process for adopting an improved system of marine protected areas is well funded. Moreover, there is no reason, funding or otherwise, for the process supporting the law to be postponed."

July 2 Halibut fishing really turned back on early last week off Carlsbad and Dana Point with the fish going on the chew. It ended just a fast and has remained slow since Friday, at least for us and others I have spoken with. That's halibut fishing though. It will turn back on again. There's only one wait to find out; get out there and enjoy a summer day on the water. Sometimes you pay your dues pounding heaps of sand bounce-balling with little success. Every now and then the rewards are memorable filling the day with big grins, grown man giggles, maybe even a spontaneous celebratory dance or two. It just doesn’t get much better! Read More...

Question: "I have one of my Penn 330 GTI's apart on the kitchen table right now. The drag was sticking and upon dissassembly per your post http://alantani.com/index.php?topic=10.0, I found some badly corroded metal and deteriorating fiber washers. I wanted to know what advantage replacing the drag washer under the stack with a fiber washer serves?  I will be ordering a new drag stack and some grease. Thanks again for the posts!"

Edgewater 205CC: Like a Rock By Steve Quinlan
March 10:



Few 20-foot center consoles are equipped to handle true offshore fishing in anything less than ideal conditions. EdgeWater’s 205CC happens to be one of those rare exceptions. It was specifically engineered to feel, ride, and perform like a much bigger boat, while requiring less horsepower on the transom – and from the vehicle that tows it.
