Yesterday Evening, rolled out to Seal Beach Pier, with some hesitation...not sure if there would be parking...while thinking on this (I tend to worry things into the ground!), visited Bolsa Chica...new signs up...pic, and Egret pics...Terns, lots, usually are...and the usual desperated photogs...long expensive lenses with no where to go!...continued to Seal Beach, and made it there in spite of a few U-turns thinking to go back to Balboa!...over arching thought has been to visit all the Piers I visited on the Bus, at Sunset...don't know if I'll make it to Belmont and San Pedro, but all the spots between Seal Beach and San Clemente a must do...taking pics, both for the sake of getting a good photo, and getting a good reference to paint from, I'm never sure what I'll come across...evening Pelican pic at Huntington is gold...I can see all the feathers for painting, and the gold coloring in the evening sunlight is cool too!...and at Seal Beach Pier the parking was simple, metered spots right next to the Pier, much like Balboa...same cost too!...I was hungry, so before Pier, found a restaurant, Hennesey's, and fish tacos and ice tea...only two hours on the parking meter, so left the fishing gear in Silver, and joined the Promenade on the Pier...big Croakers being caught, and small Shark and Ray...sun was down, too long at the restaurant!...clear warm light breeze...I have an old frame backpack, camp trails, a treasured relic!, and spent the morning working out how to load it up with the fishing gear...got bungees and round cooler at Home Depot, little boxes at a one dollar store, blue ice thingys at Target...shoppings fun...stores are like art galleries, to my thinking!...need still to get some modeling clay...I think the clay would work to store the jigs..brb...a recent patent, 2007, for a multi hook jig storage device...looks to be a standard snap lid plastic box with a little compartment for each hook!...patent description mentions SABIKI brand jigs, which are the ones I have...there's a real artistry, and discipline, to making patents!...resembles, I'm thinking, the effort to identify a new species of fish, and have one's chosen name attached to it!...one of my marine science instructors had accomplished this, and was pleased to tell the tale when we were going over how to id fish!...oh...looked up how to store SABIKI rigs--3/4" pvc pipe, Styrofoam, wooden dowels...SABIKI even makes a pipe thingy...

The Promar Sabiki Stick Boat Rod with Storage Bag is not your typical fishing rod. This unit is designed for fishing Sabiki-style, with bait rigs. Purposely designed with only one line feeder guide and an open-ended rod tip, a bait rig can be threaded into the rod blank, eliminating the hassle of tangled rigs and dangerously exposed hooks. When not in use, reel the entire Sabiki bait rig into the rod for no-tangle storage. Since it does not get tangled, the Promar Sabiki Stick Boat Rod is easy to transport, as well. With its 3-piece section design, it's easy to break down and then reassemble for a thrilling day on the water.
