The Giant Squid Bite Is On
Tuesday night, I took Dan from the office and my buddy Kip out to catch giant squid. We all have done it before, but it's worth doing when they come in.

Who are the true hardcore fishermen, anyway?
Over the break between Christmas and New Year, I found myself boat-less with a son who wanted to go fishing. So we ended up at a little pond by the house, catching tiny largemouth bass with a worm and bobber. We struck up a conversation with a gentleman who spends a couple hours a day in this tiny pond. He is a diligent angler and works hard to catch; the problem is that the only fish to catch are tiny largemouth bass and a couple of two pounders or so, along with a selection of small turtles that take the bait on accident. He is definitely what I would call a hardcore angler; he just loves to fish.

It is on its way back!
With Christmas quickly approaching and thanksgiving just in our dust, we need to reflect back on this year. It has been a tough one for the entire world economically. We have in most industries seen a slowdown in the fairytale economic world we were living in. Our homes were worth double what we bought them for and our stocks were soaring high. It is on its way back!

After over a year in the process for Southern California's shot at the dysfunctional MLPA process we are looking to get a few answers as to what we may really be looking at, map wise that is. The Blue Ribbon Task Force is set to make a decision on its recommendation to the DFG Commission on November 10th which is just days away.

Our marlin season this year was outstanding. We finished 4th and 5th place on the 1 Hot Tuna in the Catalina Classic this year with two tankers.
It started out with an early season trip in July with our printer Chris which resulted in a release of a huge local marlin much larger than our two Catalina Classic fish.
We didnt have too many trips this year but we made the most of what time we had on the water. Our tournament journey started out with a quick release on our prefish day in the first ten minutes on the water. The sleepers were right outside laguna and Scott made a great cast and we released a nice fish in short order.
The tournament went on with us catching two nice qualifiers and having first place for the first hours of the tournament and by the end of day one we were knocked to third. By the end of the second day our larger qualifier still would not hold out and we took fourth and fifth. We were the only team to catch two qualifiers this year.

Our first trip offshore took us to the 43 for a handful of albacore, a huge yellowtail, and a lost bluefin. Hey, not bad when most sport boats weren't clearing 15 fish at the time.

While out in Florida Scott from the office and I made our way up to deep-drop during the daytime with my good friend Capt. Cory Burlew. This was my first time sword-fishing in Florida without the wind blowing a gust.

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....

Today, news broke of some dirty pool in the RSG process of forming the closure area maps. Only six were supposed to be voted through, but when the enviro map was shot down, the rules were bent to keep it in the process.
We really need to be vigilant about this process and show up to every meeting to let them know that we will not be stepped on. Changing the rules when the game is almost over is ridiculous and should be investigated. If this RSG process is just a dog-and-pony show to make the consumptive users feel like they got their point across, I would rather get through the manure!
This type of manipulation of the process will not be accepted and is a slap in the face to all those following the rules of the process and working hard at this. I have a friend on the RSG board, and I can tell you that he has put his whole heart in to this thing. If this turns out to just be a sham there are going to be some real angry fellas.
