 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 !



Nice Sunrise in Mission Bay 8)



We hit a few spots and Richard found the Dinks  ;D


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 :)




We managed to get some Taco Meat


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.
You can't catch them from your computer chair.

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.
