Moving to Catalina Island CA

[boomerfoxtrot]

yup.. that's right... I'm moving out to Catalina Island, CA for a little while...

gotta say bye to all my well known buddies around Atlanta...
and also, I don't think I'll be making to SCAO event this year....



Anyone else live around theres..? I've already talked with a few...

[OfficerGoat]

lol.. your gonna have to get on a boat to go ballin... thats funny. But there are a couple of great feilds in that area soooo...

[RoadDawg]

If you move by the 25th of this month you could join us for the AO Socal Day. Check it out in the meet and great area if your interested. Never been to Catalina but it sounds fun. I've heard to always take the fast boat.

I live in Dana Point, on the mainland, but I go there sometimes.

Hope your in shape, no cars allowed there! Bicycles and boats are it. I envy you, Catalina is our Monte Carlo...except for the road races Hey, now you can do the water-ski races, from the mainland to the island and back......at 90+ MPH, wOOt!

(Yes, there are a few cars, but only for emergency services and city maintenance)

BTW....no paintball fields there

I've heard there is great fishing there (but you must avoid the preserves). Sounds cool. Why are you moving?

[the_next_guy_]

if you catch a orange fish throw it back! Are you moving to Avalon?

[pbzmag]

I have done deep sea fishing in that area twice and it was a blast! The first time, some of use caught large tuna that took almost 20 minutes to reel in. The second time we stayed closer to Dana point. I mostly caught 1-2 lbs tuna and had to throw back a halibut cuz it was 1/2 inch short. Anyways, welcome to SoCal!

Edit: changed flounder to halibut

[gamarada717]

Yeah?

Well when I went back to Alaska this summer (I was born and lived there for 6 years, but we go back every summer because we still have our cabin on the Kenai), I got a 162 pound Halibut on that took about an hour to reel in. I got to shoot it too . They can get up to 600 pounds, but I prefer to eat the 25-40 pound ones. This all happened at Deep Creek, if anybody has ever been there. I remember that day pretty well....I've never been on the ocean when it was that smooth.

Anyway, why aren't cars allowed there? And are there grocery stores and stuff on the island?

[Smegma]

its a really nice place, can see all the way to the bottom. I think the water is a bit cold though.

[punkncat]

Dang Moose , what are you going out there for?
Joining a monestary or something?lol

[Albinonewt]

Tell Arnold I said hi!

[the_next_guy_]

You can have cars, but the waiting list to have them shipped over is really long, so most people drive golf carts. And real men spear fish

[Devil]

I will miss you boomer!


Have FUN!


Kisses!
