Good point BS, I forgot about the trips down south. I always fished in the Catalina Channel or Santa Monica Bay. It is great if you want to catch what you should not eat. Fish with three eyes and hairy moles...........
I lived in Santa Monica for two years and the we fished on the Excell out of Fisherman's landing when ever we could. Fantastic crew and they will put you on the fish..We used to go on the multiple day trips.Biggest Tuna I ever caught was on that boat....Mark
