All,
To make a long story short, JMIG, BEAN and I usually go fishing someplace new every summer. Since the war screwed up our plans we will have to postpone until fall, Oct - Nov time frame. Since time will be limited (week) JMIG and I are looking to do some west coast fishing. We are after big fish so saltwater is the main focus. I have never fished the west coast south of Washington. I know some of you have and would like some ideas. I would love to say money is no object, but, the hard truth is Mrs IFG would get half in court so to presevre the peace it has to be. Try to keep it around a grand. I would love to go on one of the offshore Tuna trips out of San Deigo but I don't know anything about them or anyone who has gone. They seem a little spendy to me and I don't think I have the gear. I have all kinds of offshore stuff but its all trolling gear. If I have to spend a grand on a couple of Newell two speeds I'd be outdoors. While the Llamas are warm and fuzzy, Mrs IFG smells a lot better than they do. Has anyone ever fished Oregon or California for Halibut? I'd love ideas from you guys. Thanks for any help.
