FishinKid...
That was us. We were in a Portabote. My friend is a sushi chef at Sushiya near Point Loma, and I was hoping to hook him up with a YT or WSB that day.
Were you the one who offered to lend me a snorkel mask? I should have taken the offer. After getting home I thought about it, and now I believe the camera, and the lost rods just sank straight down from the flip site.
I used to have a 8hp to get us through the surf zone with no problems, but this time I only had a 2hp, and my friend didnt want to paddle for his first time out. Entry timing was ok untill a huge wave built up far behind, and caught up to us too quickly. I had no more juice to avoid it. The stern just tilted, and lifted up in a matter of seconds, and flipped the 12x4 ft skiff.
I just took the motor apart today and it has a broken con-rod too.
Next time I'm paddling.
Anyway, if any of you come across some fishing gear or a dig camera in the surf... PLEASE PLEASE give me a call. If I can't ID the stuff. then its yours.
Thanks!
