Places unfriendly to Float Tubing

[bendopolo]

It helps that I took the picture. Nobody called me on it but my dad says its Abalone Point in the background but the fog makes it look like Dana. He qualifies as an expert in my book having raised me in this section of the California Bight. Before Fishfinders he would put us on so many hardspots and obscure rockpiles. Line up the peak of this hill and those two houses. Bam! Follow this scumline until it intersects the pier....Newport Salmon in the winter and Sablefish in the summer. CB's on every boat s well as VHF. Lots of "Private Talk". Threshies here,'cuda there. Orange CD18's for the Makos. Mooching for those Salmon all winter long and not telling anyone. Finding the 70 pound Albacore and banging them all day on Marlin Jigs, then calling in Donny Brockmans old boat, the "Sportfisher", for a wild end of the day bite, shreading rental rods right and left . Nailed two free passes for life on that one. Days on the Newport Bay when 50 Bass a day was the norm. Big as they get Spotties and bonus Grande Sandbass, lots of keeper Halibut. What a grand place to grow up. Even though I called this place Commie-fornia last week. I'm sorry. Merry Christmas everybody...[]
