we made it, drill a bunch of holes in a 2-3 gallon bucket and put a pool noodle around the rim so it floats

I suppose we could push the boat down the beach but it wouldn't really be ideal, the harbor is generally easier for us. I don't think anyone would mind if we wheeled it down but you couldn't beach launch with a trailer.

newport vessels catalina model 12.5 feet

we have a 12.5 footer with a 15hp motor. whenever we go out we have our fish finder/gps unit, handheld vhf radio, life jackets, and some other safety gear. if we choose to take bait we rigged up a big cooler with aerators that can keep sardines alive for a while, and we also made some rod harness straps for trolling. generally, if we go offshore we'll just look around and cast lures when we see fish. hope this helps

Thanks for the information. I really enjoy the videos. Keep up the great work

no worries, appreciate it!

it's 12.5 feet long, probably about 4-5 feet wide from the edge of each tube

@@GetBentSportfishing can we go fishing?

i think it was a mixture of soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, and a bit of sesame oil

thanks! it's a newport vessels catalina model, 12.5 feet

we have a mercury 15hp on the back, boat is 12.5 feet. in terms of going offshore, the main thing is just being careful with the sea conditions and picking a nice day to go

in this video we were maybe 12-13 miles out, boat is 12.5 feet

it's a great setup for coastal fishing, but just a word of advice, we would definitely recommend sticking to harbors/inshore for a while until you guys are really comfortable. SCI is 60 miles offshore, conditions can get bad fast over there and in an inflatable boat, that's a very long ways away from any help. Even Catalina is quite far for this size boat, unless you get a rare flat calm day. In this video we're 10-15 miles out max and even that is pushing our limits. We do have a really fun coastal fishery (bass, rockfish, etc.) that's definitely accessible with this setup, enjoy the boat and be safe!

I just got a 10.5 foot which me and my girl got a 15 hp engine. We’re excited to get out a little further probably 8-10 miles. Super excited

anywhere past the pch bridge into the back bay you can't fish from a boat/tube/kayak, only from shore

we got most of the fish at the rockpile, which is about 10 miles south of the islands

Anytime you're fishing the Coronado Islands you'll need a passport, regardless of the trip length. I believe the law is whenever you're within 12 miles of Mexican land (coast or islands) you need a passport, but further offshore you don't need one

we were on the clemente out of dana wharf sportfishing

definitely not, we'll usually grab them by the holes right behind the eyes where they take in water

@@GetBentSportfishing thanks for the response I just bought a bris 10.8

it kind of depends where you're fishing. i think it's about 20 miles from mission bay to the north island, around 25 to the south island, and an additional 5 miles to the rockpile. so you're looking at like 2-3 hours of travel time.
