My name's Sol. I am not a fan of pissing off of a skiff. I write for several sporting and high-end leisure publications, and aim to make your experience onboard this vessel a (somewhat) pleasant one.
I've been described by sporting press as a "street smart writer/musician turned outlaw-angler, with an affinity for throwing irons and deck-slamming yellowfin tuna."

(Disclaimer: I can't complain too much, I mean half the world is freezing their asses off, and the water was like glass in Baja in January - see two posts back... but that don't help the itch none)
It's been raining. Ugly out. Non-stop. Freezing too (for us California pussies, at least). I hate running the fucking electric heater at home, but that's my only option since the central heating thermostat is out, and I don't really wanna ask my landlord to fix it since we don't plan on staying much longer. Screw asking for anything that might slow down getting my $1k deposit back. That's like some nice Tuna trip money, or some nice gear right there! Also because of this nasty overcast rain (that is supposed to clear out today, but who knows...), I haven't been out on the water at all... and I've gotta say - it's kinda killing me. Imagine if you will, each raindrop is just a needle that is digging into my soul, inch by slippery inch... I know, that's so fucking teen agnst/emo haha. Anyhow, that's why the reports have been slow to come - I'm not getting lazy on you! Hopefully I'll get out this Sunday (Saturday I'm hanging with the lady), and tear up some nice sand bass and get the rod bent and the line wet... Picked up a new Shimano 8' light-tip rod with fast action today too... I wanna test it's durability (and lifetime warranty), so I definitely hope to score and pull out the Mack Truck of the seas with it come the weekend.
Oh, on another note. Going to watch Friday the 13th (remake) at midnight on Thursday the 12th... should be pretty crazy. Wonder what the bass are like in Crystal Lake... hmm...
