Catalina Bass'n Bugs - 12/26

[seatech]

The ride back was great. The weather was so clear that the LA Shipyards provided plenty of light to see what was in the water, plus the wind/swell laid down. We could even see lights on the top of PV from Catalina!

For years I have been driving friends big boats down 75-100 miles out of San Diego overnight on Tuna runs, so I know where my comfort zone is being out at night. But you are right, being in an 18 foot boat at night makes you realize just how big the ocean is.

We live in Huntington Beach, PV is too high a rent district for me but the area we live in is pretty nice.

Ed,

Do you kayak fish or just fish out of the boat? I guess once you fish out of the boat you get spoiled, so many more places to access, back side of PV, catalina, Etc.

Where do you launch from that you can come back in the evening? I know Redondo closes at about 5 or 6 and cabrillo closes at 10pm. I think there is a launch by the queen mary that stays open is that were you launch? Just curious.

Take it easy!

Aaron,

I still kayak fish and float tube. No as much since I got the boat but still yak HH quite a bit and float tube the Sierras in the Spring, Summer and Fall.

I usually launch out of Huntingtin Harbor at Sunset Aquatics as that is only 5 minutes from my house.

I have also launched out of Davies and South Shores launch ramps in Long Beach. All 3 ramps are open 24x7.

Ed,

That's awsome that you have a launch 5 minutes from the house.

Thanks for the info.

Have a Great New year!

Take it easy!

Ed,
Thanks for the awesome report and I bet Ryan was stoked I don't know of anyone who uses left over bug parts for their next hooping trip. That's not saying nobody does, just I haven't heard of it. Please gimme a ring when you get back.
