Pulled a few short Hali’s inside the harbor mouth break wall as well as some other by catch.

Drifted for a few hours before calling it a day. Ended with a few short Hali’s and short calicos.

On the way in I noticed a lot of the boaters there are total A-holes. They speed right next to you in their giant ass boats with no care of who’s around. My pops ended up getting rolled because some asshat thought it was ok to cruise on by at above posted limits. He ended up losing a setup and some gear. Not the best way to end the day.

If you head out this weekend, pay attention to the goons and stay safe.

Did you get their CF number? If a boat throws a wake at you and causes you monetary damage, they are liable to pay for the damages.

Wish I had known that, would have chased him down, but sadly no. I was more concerned about helping my dad get back into his kayak.

Good luck finding a new FF for your pops. Hopefully the incident didn't sour you guys too much on getting out there again soon.

Nope, we both fully understand shit happens. I plan on being out again this weekend. Maybe hit up NPH this time.

If you see it about to happen try to get video as evidence. Otherwise, without witnesses, it can become your word against theirs
