point sur 6/8/09

ran to point sur with my neighbor jeff and his daughter sandra.  i was going to take the kayaks but the weather was looking too rough.



figured i would at least put sandra to work.  she makes a great skipper.



the water started out lumpy with an easy 10 knots of wind.



just past point pinos, the seas layed down really nicely, then got ugly again at point sur.



fishing was quick and easy.



things started to slow down after 10am.



we finished up with two stringers of blacks and blues, and one nice stringers of vermillions and coppers.



the return trip was pretty rough.  to make matters worse, i burned up a wheel bearing ion the trailer driving home.  i probably ruined the axle and brakes.  i'm off to central valley marine in the morning. 

Sorry to hear about your bad bearings on trailer.  Thanks for the report and pictures Alan.

Sounds like a crummy ending to a rather good day.  Good on you for being the friendly neighbor and taking a fellow neighbor out.

By any chance, is there a house for sale in your neighborhood? J\K WTG on a nice haul Alan. Sorry about your wheel bearing. I
hope it doesn't cost you too much to get it fix.

Awesome job on some beautiful fish Alan! Looks like you have that place really dialed in!

beautiful young lady, can drive a boat and heft a full stringer.  Dad better get a shotgun!

Nice chunky reds there! Thanks for the report Alan.

yeah, i really would have liked to have dragged a couple of you guys down there, but you would have gotten the snot beat out of you.  alan
