I'm a firm believer in sharing the wealth, I and some others started a sportfishing board out in Northern California called Humboldt Tuna, www.humboldttuna.com Since we didn't have a local clearing house for passing the word on what's on the chew and where one of our unspoken mandates was to help the noobs when they asked for help and it still happens every day there.
If you ever decide to go out there and fish this is the place to check out.
We fished salmon, rockfish, lingcod, pacific halibut, california halibut (Fluke on the east coast btw), sandabs, albacore tuna and even the dreaded "Diablo rojo", better known as the humboldt squid and we also trapped dungeness crab too.
We had a heck of a fishery there but the ocean was a big place and you could strike out just being a few miles off the mark. We set the standard by passing the numbers(GPS) on the vhf and made sure everyone had a good shot at finding/catching fish.
So if I manage to get the catfish dialed in on TR I promise to "Pass the numbers" as well here on this board, I have the vhf on most of the time while out on the water and monitor ch 68 my call sign is Whisky Tango Foxtrot, I'm in a white 17 foot center console Triumph.
Our lady anglers out there were pretty good too, here's a shot of Beverly and a real nice fish she got down at Cape Mendocino one day she caught this toad on a lime green scampi lead head using 30# string it weighed in on the official scales at 120 pounds. Quite a feat of fishing.
