BMG where did you find my fishing weight. I lost one just like that 40 years ago when I was fishing off of Colonia Vicente Guerrero. I used to use spark plugs as fishing weights. My fishing pole was a Fanta bottle wound with black and gray nylon string, two fishing hooks and a spark plug. :lol:

We used to use old spark plugs for weights ll the time when fishing off the rocks. My favorite fishing as a kid was by the warm water outlet in Redondo Beach, CA. The bonito used to circle around the outlet. We'd tie a plug on the end of the line and a big treble hook up about 3 feet. Cast out, let it sink a bit, and then jerk the rod hard. Would snag the fish and what a fight. You can't turn a fish that's not hooked in the mouth.

Anyway, I digress. Where do you want me to send your lost plug to?

Thanks for sharing your spark plug story. Good Old Spark Plugs :lol:

So funny...... :lol:

bales of marijuana about 50 yards up from our beach. Within an hour most of elias calles was there including old ladies. About 4 - 5 hours later the police showed up and of course no one knew anything......it was a riot.

This was about 95 or 96 as I recall, my memory for that year is kinda shot...LOL

Skipjack Joe - 1-10-2008 at 10:00 PM

I always favored NGK plugs as well.

Sallysouth - 1-10-2008 at 10:22 PM

Uh oh Bus, Now I know where it all ended up :wow:

Not that I was looking for it!Sheeite, those were the wild days. :bounce:

Sallysouth - 1-10-2008 at 10:23 PM

Don't let my avitar fool you, it is just a memory of mine :biggrin:

Ah I loved that movie...especially the crazed piano player. Must have seen it at least 3-4 times.

The other best thing we found was 3 washed up lobster traps with about 13 or 14 lobsters as I recall , we threw back the one female with eggs nu the beach near the rocks.

The rest we took over to some friends and had a royal pig out. The next day we brought the traps out to the fishermans beach and gave them back to the co-op.

ya never know what you are going to find out there. Lynna once found a note inside a bottle that someone from a cruise ship threw over board. We mailed it back to them and got a nice response.

What about the beach at Malarrimo(sp?)... anyone have interesting pics of stuff.... what is the best time of the year for beachcombing there...

Sharksbaja - 1-11-2008 at 07:09 PM

Ah yes, Malarrimo. A good place indeed for flotsom and jetsom. I never found any jetsom but the flotsom was plenty. Crab traps abound as well as boat parts whale bones and the like. I hear folks have found glass floats there.
The current circulates well off shore and pulls stuff of a large stretch of water. I'd guess that this year with all these big storms and waves should produce copious amounts of goodies.
Do a search here for mo info. It's a great trip just air down before crossing the hitide areas.
It gets VERY windy there much of the year. Summer would be best for comfort.

bajajudy - 1-11-2008 at 07:13 PM

Malarrimo was one of my favorite trips!
We found a piece of any F14 airplane that Jim reported to someone in the Air Force who keeps track of such things
I would go back in a heartbeat.

Today I found this on the beach. I think that I could have walked right up to him if I hadnt had Eta with me.

F-14 is a Navy plane. Af guy probably threw the info away :lol:

rts551 - 1-11-2008 at 07:21 PM

You never know. Last year nothing but plastic and lumber on the beach.

Do have some of the Japanese blue glass net floats but got those many years ago.

bajajudy - 1-11-2008 at 07:26 PM

Jeez I dont know my military stuff at all.
And after checking with Jim he says yes the Navy.
And the guy was very interested

Most Navy pilots are very interested when parts of their planes wash up on beaches. What part was it?

bajajudy - 1-12-2008 at 07:39 AM

I think that it was the rubber band :biggrin:
