Miss you too ya weirdo.
having a post session coors with you on the tailgate at Shelter and seeing an Osprey pluck a black rockfish from the ocean and then take it up into a treetop for breakfast is one of my fave NCKA memories. Epic times.

Was there Sunday on the beach, still felt sharky even on the shore....

does it ever not? LOL

glad the guy made it without physical injury.
If it were me though I'd have some serious PTSD from that swim. I can only imagine what was going through his head, yikes.
What I'm wondering is where was his buddy?

Tarpon 140 is pretty heavy and long.

The older models were indeed heavy for their size, due mostly to a generous plastic pour.
Makes the hull stiffer than any comparable plastic yak of the time, so a pleasure to paddle but tougher to load and portage.

I like the way you maximized the limited space in the back of your truck.

Up front too! So maxxed - I barely fit in there.

Good thing my crabbing spot is just 8 miles or so up 101 at King Salmon, California.

I knew I recognized that road. I love that seafood place at the end of it.

It should live out it's life at The Cove hauling yaks up and down to the launch

I was seriously imagining myself pulling into a beach parking lot in it!

I got a stainless rod, bent it, and filed a point on it. Getting a sharp point takes some work, but the rest of it is super-simple:

Yup, I've also gone that route, pretty simple if you have a jig or suitable form to bend it around. And a grinder

I often fish close to Mavericks when I go to HMB.
At our neighborhood lake in the Sierras a girl was attacked by otters last week with multiple wounds and had to be rushed to the hospital. Now they have warning signs.

Otters can dicks, river or sea.

If they aren't biting Scott Thornley's boots at Elk, they are clawing kids in the Sierras or biting surfer's boards in Santa Cruz...

thanks guys! the whole goal of this is to just have some fun.

most of the stuff will be priced on the lower end of the spectrum.

There will also be be a nice display of handcrafted soaps, courtesy of "the Laura Lab"

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 👌

that's why you are the marketing model on the ad

Quote from: Rock Hopper on July 12, 2023, 01:13:24 PM

Gorgeous!

I get so many compliments on my Piscean gaff.

You even have a matching harpoon lol
