an interesting trip ta say the least , but , all worked out ,
thx to the guys that tried helpin me out with the motor ,
the impeller disintegrated a few weeks ago in COLD weather ,
buzzer went off when i went ta flush the motor on shore ,should brought an impeller this trip..
-5 , bad idea , pretty sure it was frozen and stuck , eventually tore it self up on start up this trip ,
lesson learned , taken the leg home , ez fix , hopefully the the 40 hp coffee grinder survives ,
thx Bod for offering up the part from ur personal motor , decided ta pack er in , get home for New Years..all good..
woulda liked ta visit my jewish pal Jeff ,wanted ta meet ur new gf....call ya this week....
so , i did get 2 days of playin , what a change in weather , zero wind , WARM.. weird year...
3 springs to the boat , one gooder lost 10 feet from the boat ,
my fault , tangled net , kept only one for my aunty , not bad size for December , crazy 20 min fight ,
Nanat island and Bamfield Harbor were holding fish , spoons and needles on the bottom ,
Adam , not sure if ya had any luck , but i hit 2 quick springs where you hit ur small spring ,just west of Dixon...
Rob , on that spoon i told ya ta try ta bring in ,it works !! stop at the shop tmrw..
managed a few shellfish ta bring in as well , for my good friend Gemma
Prawning was good for me ,
not sure what most of ur thoughts are on how close others should be dropping there pots within others .
i dont own the ocean , but seriously , its a HUGE sound , pls dont lay ur strings on others, i had a huge mess ta deal with , 20-30 meters is WAY TOO CLOSE , watched a guy read my float , then lay all his strings right on me , thats brutal dude , i pulled my pots and moved .... might not be in such a festive mood next time !!ive got better things ta do than repair my gear out here... thx ,,,my rant of the year..
anyways , thx to our new caretaker Jon , for helping me yank my pots out ,
catch ya all soon
