    Anyone Offshore in an Adventure 208?

    Great advice in the above comments! I routinely take my 1999 GW Adventure 208 out up to 50 miles out in SoCal and Mex waters. We are super lucky here, SoCal has stable weather and not prone to surprise storms. I pick my days and don't go out if it is more that 12-14 mph wind or is sea state...

    Water level - scuppers - new engine

    when I was running down a leak on my Grady, I wrapped blue paper mechanic towels around all the thru fittings inside the hull. You can quickly tell which ones are leaking. My leak originated from my port side bait tank, I closed that one up and I'm in good shape. I also had a leak at the hose...

    1987 24' Grady CC Project - Miami

    Damn! That project is WAY above my pay grade. Doesn't look like you are taking any shortcuts. Hats off to you for taking the time and energy to bring this Grady back. She will be a great ride when all done. Have you decided on a tuna door, looks like you are going back to a bracket. I'll...

    Anyone in SoCal fishing offshore?

    Same here BRO. I'm on a trailer in Carlsbad as well. Beautiful boat BTW! I'm hoping to get out this weekend, I'll trailer down to SD and may hit the spots in Mexico. I'm not sure I have the comfortable range to fish the backside of Catalina. Hit me up if you want to buddy boat anytime.

    Anyone in SoCal fishing offshore?

    I'm out of Oside, but I think I may head south to Mexican waters. I'll keep an eye on reports and make a game day decision. I'll try to update this thread. My boat name is Pau Hana and I am usually on 68 or 72.

    Anyone in SoCal fishing offshore?

    Well, it was a bust for us. We caught one bonita. We found the fish out by the 230 area, we trolled and long soaked , we just could not get them to go. They are not as active as last few years, a few single jumpers here and there but not the foamers we have seen in past years. A friend of...

    Anyone in SoCal fishing offshore?

    yep - that's the current plan. Weather looks decent on Saturday. Action is not consistent and this year is very different than the last few years.
