After spending last week on Balboa Island, the Wife finally decided to join us for a ride on the boat on Tuesday 8/19.
The plan was to cruise the harbor and look at some of the fantastic scenery and life of the nothing to worry about folks, some time fishing in the Harbor and to go out into the open seas to let the boat get some throttle play time.
Leslie has always wondered if I had a secret Mermaid in the harbor due to the fact that I spend so much time there. She now knows why I love the place for the scenery, wishful dreams (The Homes and Yachts).
We arrived around 0900 to a less than urgent launch time to what was going to be a relaxed tempo to enjoy the time together.
We arrived at a spot after a short while and brad helped bait up his mothers rig with some soaking bait ( A Ghostie above the Chovie). A few moments later her line took of screaming of the back of the boat and I was wishing I had put her on a bigger setup.
This was not to be as the line snapped!!
We Rigged it up again and she sent it to the bottom again and almost instantly she was on a nice Toad Spottie!!!!!!!!!

We were then chased from the spot again from the massive barge. It is an intimidating site from a large distance away.

We went out the the jetty area in hope of getting Brad his first Bonita and some sea time.
Brad hook up and hoping it is first but turned out to be a large Mackerel.

It was a great day Family time together on the Water together as a Family with some bonus time of getting a line wet.
We did not find the MERMAID today but maybe in the future!!!!!!!
Leslie best fun of the day was when I pull up to the platform with 15 lazy *** Harbor Seals sunning themselves and to be so close to them.
Leslie did get the Toad Bass of the Day!!!!:Applause:
