July 3, 2016 – I was invited to go Fishing with Alan aboard his fishing boat and he allowed me to bring my friend Bootstrap Bill.  We caught several fish, but none of them were keepers.

We got started early and the seas were calm as we left the harbor.  It was also overcast which is good for fishing.

Alan caught a whole bunch of fish

Bill caught a big sting ray

Bill caught a big white sea bass and another fish

I was hooked into a big bat ray, faught with it for a while, and chased it around the boat but it ended up breaking the line.  I caught one little fish.

About 12:30 the wind picked up and it started getting a little choppy.  We did a lap around the bouy on the way in to see the sea lions.

We got together with Alan’s family and future in-laws for a BBQ dinner

It was a great day!
