Hello all, Glad to see this site back up and running.

I guess introductions are in order. I have fished Southern Cal my whole life in one form or another.
Long ago I was even a deckhand on a really well known sportboat. Not for a living thankgoodness but
to learn and improve my seamanship and fishing knowledge skills. Their is no better teacher then
being on the water with knowledgeable professionals and characters.

Now many lives over (seems like it). I have gone from a leaky 14 foot Valco with 9 horse Merc running
on one cylinder.  Fishing the breakwall at night. To a Tracker sweet 16 fishing the Horseshoe. To a 17’
Baja Bayrunner fishing up and down the coast. To a 19’ Baja Bayrunner trailered everywhere the bite
was going….............. still have her in pristine condition in a garage when gas gets way out of line she
will taste the salt once more.

As I got older and being tired of being wet from salt spray I graduated to my pride and joy…........

Mark,

Welcome aboard/back! I like the looks of those Pacific Skiffs. Nearly got the 17 instead of the Edgewater. How long have you owned her?

Thankyou John,
I have owned her for three years.  I remember when you were going through your selection and thought process. Keeping costs down and trying to retrofit your existing motor was the wise decision.  You have built yourself quite a fishing platform for your style of fishing. Flyrodding for saltwater fish is real challenging but I must admit a real hoot when it comes all together. The bonies were real brutes last year I hope they decide to show up this spring and work out my 9 wt.

As for my baby the quality of workmanship and design is simply amazing. If any one is interested in her performance numbers I will gladly post them.

Thankyou for such a informative site. Lets get this place a rockin.

I’d like to see the stats! Wish I could fit a pilot house on mine…
