Would it be legal to fish the usual halibut beaches in 40 to 100 feet of water if no rockfish are retained? I don’t see why not, as long you claim to be targeting halibut…

Sealions and sailboats are the most dangerous things in the sea :smt013

Gorgeous!

I get so many compliments on my Piscean gaff.

Same here. Everytime time I land on the beach the lookiloos come over and point out the gaff. Mine has seen years of service and has help up as well as the big box gaffs. I highly recommend 👌

For Sale / Re: 2015 Hobie Revo 16 for $2100

The new owner is picking it up tomorrow...

Proud new owner I would add.  It looks great sitting next to its matching sister Revo 16 of the same color.  Super stoked to finally have the comfy seat and transducer scupper. Thanks Pat. It was fun chillen too.  Hope to fish with ya soon.

General Talk / Re: Any REHS in the house?

By ignoring a septic violation WHILE permitting my septic system, then rescinding that permit 4 years later during an unrelated job, SC EHS are the ones who refused to "do the right thing"  - which would have been to allow us a realistic time period to financially prepare for this massive and retrospective job. Instead they refused to “allow” us to repair our home until we agreed to fix their “mistake”.  Just think about that before you join that shit show (literally).

My take on EHS and the whole planning inspecting machine is that it is a necessary evil; like a painful oozing infection. I realize we can’t have folks just building anything they want anywhere they want, but these departments have become way out of control. Our local department is unpredictable, inconsistent in their enforcement, and most of all UNRELIABLE. I don’t think they appreciate the power they have and wield it very irresponsibly with no consideration of the consequences to the “customer “. 
 
My experience taught me a valuable lesson. Permits are complete bull shit. They are worthless and can/will be rescinded at the convenience of the county. I have no interest in getting anymore permits in the future. I have a deep distrust if the whole operation. Thanks to them, I had to max out a 100K HELOC right as the economy took a shit JUST to repair my deck and wall from a tree.  F those guys.

Prepare yourself to tell fire victims they are not allowed to rebuild, or that building will be cost prohibitive. Or that your department made a giant mistake which the homeowner will need to clean up for you.  I hope those bureaucrats get paid well, because it must take a part of their soul with it. Get a job that does real science and helps your community. You can even make friends.

I apologize for the negative energy, but I got burned and it hurts.

They do disrupt people’s livelihood so it’s not for the faint of heart... The downside is that you can be friendly but you can’t make friends.

Having dealt extensively with our local Santa Cruz County EHS department, I cant imagine it being a personally fulfilling endeavor. Unless you enjoy f_cking with peoples livelihood... Just sayen.

How about those deep water RF that we're all going to be catching this year? Which of those is the best?

I ordered a whole fried Chillipeper from a nice local restaurant (Home in Soquel). It was really really good! I'm keen on targeting them this season. My understanding is that they suspend mid column over structure, which may make them easier to reach while jigging.

There is not much comparable to it. Sure there are other long lean paddle kayaks, but no other peddle kayak with that length/width configuration. The Revo is hands down the fastest non sail yak out there. I love my 2012, but wish I had waited for the 2013 with the Lawrence ducer mount and new seat.  My opinion anyway

So interesting didnt know Hobie was acquired,…

That they quit making the Adventure Island was a real bummer…

+1  The Revo 16 (Adventure) is the best ocean kayak in my opinion.

Badass!  I would love to see a pic of that red band if you have one.  I love the variation that trout show from different localities.

I'm skeptical that you could actually land a descent shot after a surprise ambush attack from below. Kayaking is not for everybody and that's OK. A small skiff may be more comfortable for you.
