Pebble beach Slow-water

First off, Mooch's pad @ the beach is the bomb. I wanna live there.
Lee and his other half, Jen, me and da Mooch had the place to ourselves and we teamed up and picked on Joel relentlessly, what fun! Mooch:" I want starbucks, I want ice cream, this is MY house, we watch what I wanna watch, FEED ME!" It was great.
The fishing was some kind of slow , but still had a blast, I landed a greenling that went back with a few hooks pinned on hoping for a ling-zilla, but after a couple of hours of his pleading to me, I set him free. Mooch did slightly better with a greenling and a black.
Stopped by Scallens for a looksie at the painting job he has for me, and took the snakes out, played his bad-ass guitars, a Strat and a Gib 335, thats going to be a fun job, including his sons room with an idea of a planet filled ceiling and clouded walls, cant wait.
I also cant wait for a bit more of a rockfish bite.
Ill put together a video with a bit of vollyball action starring Lee, Jen and Joel, they know the game well...

GuitarZan....

 your looking rigged up these days.....  very assorized (spw?)......  bling bling....

  minor thread jack.....  you going to shelter next week?

The video head cam?? Its from Aquansports, takes up to an hour of video, wide angle, multiple mounts and waterproof to 100 feet, $190 without batteries or card, well worth the price, the sound is way muffled so I use the Pentax for the talkies.

I knew you guys would have a good time, that place is SWEET and I'll be happy to visit you any time i want.......too bad the fishing was so slow, but when it does pick-up!!  it will be that much sweeter!

Livin Large....

  Art is going to be pissed.........

Way cool!

Things will turn on soon, as the swells drop & the sun comes out....

Yeah, it was slower than a drunk turtle on Saturday.
Thanks for letting us trash your vacation house Mooch!

Are those pants mooch is wearing in the yak??? I didnt think it was possible!, Pretty bumbed out we couldnt stay longer Ben, we would have really tortured the Mooch..

Friday, I drove by MBK to visit Aaron and discussed some "secret spots" for the opener (IMO: if your worried about your secret spot getting blown up, blame google earth )

Good to see you again Aaron

Met the Saturday AM crew at the Stillwater launch....

After the fishing was said and done, we ate like rockstars = thanks to the Salinas and Hella Asian Crew for the grub!!

...here's Andy / Fishmaster1 showing off his meat....

Sunday, I got to paddle out with Ben Guitarzan and Usagi Pete.....I hit my "go to" spots and picked up a black and a greenling (both caught using Irons and both were released)....

*Special thanks to Rick for loaning me his P-15

Monday, we went out and did the tourist thing and had a great lunch at a really cool ocean view restaurant (I'm keeping it a secret ...but honestly, I forgot the name)

Monday morning, I did a little beach clean-up at the shoreline....picked up a dozen golf balls and as you can see, the morning fog was thick...no fishing for me  but Lee and Ben got an hour or two in before the fog rolled in even more.
