Anyone old enough to remember the LA weekend fishing TV show put on by Pierpoint Landing back in the late 50s early 60s?
My Dad and I watched it every weekend.
During the Depression (1930s for you younger guys) he had a boat shop and chandlery in Santa Monica and kept his boat on a hook inside the breakwall there when it was a real breakwall.
Had a friend who used to sail with Errol Flynn (old time movie actor in the 30s and 40s) and they were at the isthmus at Catalina when the Game Warden showed up. Not wanting to explain too much they tied him to a tree and left the island for LA. That's all I know of that story. He didn't elaborate.
