The Cyclops was due to get wet so I met my buddy at Dana Landing at 6am, we launched and away we went. Conditions were great and I think I only saw 1 or 2 other boats, Mondays are the best !

Lots of variety but on the small side so we descended quite a few ;) I lost a monster too :o Oh well, it's fishing :)

Back to the dock at after 3pm, I knew traffic would suck ::)

Traffic did suck and something flew up on the freeway and gave Cyclops a bruise :(

Hope to get back out soon :)
You probably lost a giant halibut, Farmer Tim! JK, lol
Damn, that sucks about the boat. I have had similar things happen to my rig also. One of the worst was coming back a few months ago to see fresh tar splattered all over the hull. That was a bitch to get off.
Hopefully you get that taken care of and it's not too much to fix. At least it doesn't look terrible, but just a scar with a story.
Glad you got out again! And got your hands dirty. Hope to see more Cyclops on the water!

When I did a coastal run from Santa Barbara harbor up to Goleta, there was a natural slick for miles. Thankfully I didn't really give a sh!t with the Mosquito, but I can only imagine the work that has to be done as a regular up there.
