Not sure if my dad wants his face on here, so I gave him some sunglasses ?
The Masked Shadow’s Fishing Thread!
- Thread starter The Masked Shadow
- Start date
Today marks the day of legal Rockfish fishing. Also going to Monterey Bay soon, but it wont be legal fishing time. I’m gonna start a new log of fishing, logging all the fish I catch. Still on same thread, but I guess you could say I’m starting over.
Looks like some good eating.?
First overnight boat I’ve gone on is going to be tomorrow. 6-8ft swell. I’m going out of Oxnard and heading to San Clemente island. It should be really fun. Tourists wont go on these, so only experienced fisherman 
Overnighted got canceled because of weather, so going out of Long Beach on a full day.
