I Almost Sank :0

Fishing out of Dana Point in my Outback my son and I paddled over to Salt Creek area. Swells were to big for my taste yesterday morning off Doheny so we had to switch it up and made the trip over to the kelp hoping to snag a few Sheephead. Well at some point I had not properly closed my rear hatch...ya thats bad. So over the course of the day I was taking on water. Not much at first but as thing got choppier (especially on the way back in the holiday boat traffic) I took on more and more water. At one point I'm thinking to myself, why is Josh so far ahead of me, why can't I catch up? Finally I opened my center hatch and I see several inches of water. Uggg. Well at that point I was about 1/2 mile from the harbor entrance. Luckily I was able to make it to the launch area where I drained some of the water and made it back to Baby Beach.

Friends, please think about this. If you don't have a manual bilge pump learn from my close call. I will be ordering mine tonight. It could have been disasterous. Anyway fishing sucked, we only got a small one. It was a beautiful day on the water though and it was my first time over at the kelp off Salt Creek. Very nice
