Hello,

I am recently retired and am sort of downsizing. I used to fish the ocean regularly from my 19' Arima Sea Ranger, but now that I am retired I find myself fishing on my own more often. I have a Blue Sky Boatworks Angler 360 that I have been using in a couple lakes around Northern CA, but want to get back on the salt. I suppose I have all the newbie questions about easy access and stuff like that. For the most part I am pretty confident in the boat on really good ocean conditions. I initially want to fish around timber cove north of Bodega and Pescadero to Ano Nuevo in the south. This is where I fished when I launched the Arima out of Bodega or Half Moon Bay. I am sure I will be asking some rookie questions on the forums.

Hope to see you out there!

Welcome John.lost of good people here.ask lots of questions. Once you get 10 posts you will have access to the members area.
Just read old posts you will find most of the questions have been asked before.   ,Jay

Welcome. Hope to see you on the water...

Who am I? My name is Ish
On my hand I have a dish.
I have this dish to help me wish.
When I wish to make a wish
I wave my hand with a big swish swish.
Then I say, "I wish for fish!"
And I get fish right on my dish.
So...
If you wish to make a wish,
you may swish for fish with my Ish wish dish.
