Hi Everyone,
I'm new here and curious where everyone keeps their boats. I'm at Harbor Island West Marina. I know of two other Blackmans in my Marina. The Riley (which everyone knows is Yale's ride) and Fish Machine. Fish Machine is a 26' Express owned by Steve who is handicapped.

The DOGHOUSE is at Marina Village J Dock, Mission Bay
Marina village J dock
The Knot Now (Billfisher) is at Marina Village J Dock, Mission Bay
Between Timeout (Billfisher) and Phil's Fire Escape (26' Outerbanks), not too far down the dock from Nomad (Bill Fisher)
There are several 4-5 more on J Dock.

Wait a minute here. Am I missing something? What's with all you guys at the MV J Dock?
Knot now, fire Escape and especially Nomad are J Dock parts boats, we prefer 1997 and newer replacement parts.:rolleyes:

I represent the low budget end of the club so I keep my 23' Billfisher on a trailer at the house.

I left the docks there because plastic female bodies were left on my boat. And the ladies next to me began getting friendly.
The Laura Mei is in Alamitos Bay in Long Beach near West Marine.
My Skippy 262 "Wa Mei" sits on trailer at Sunset Aquatic. However,
she will be in the water from April thru September this coming year.

J dock is maybe 100 yards from the bait dock, Marina Village its a great Marina. Most of us belong to the Mission Bay Marlin club, we have seminars and dinners all year round plus you get a discount on your fuel at Dana Landing all for 120.00 a year. Are you thinking about moving?

Yeah I have considered moving from SD Bay to MB. Especially for the winter. I tend to fish up North more during the winter months. I'm familiar with the Marina and that area.Quote:

I have 4 kids so I spend a lot of time down at the Marina to get the hell away from them. Hahaha...Actually another reason why I like where I'm at. Cement docks are nice for the kids. We hang out quite a bit there at the slip. BBQ on the boat, fish from the docks, etc.
Also, I have been considering joining a club, but it hasn't been a priority. Every year at Fred Hall I go and check them out. I'm Kind of a loner fisherman. I have been fishing for many years. I mostly fish with my dad, my son, or alone. I have a tight group of friends who have their own boats too and fish with them. My favorite is with my son. He's 14 and we kill'd it this summer! We make a good team.
Let me know when you guys are going to be around the J dock and I will come and say hi. Plus I would love to check out everyone's boats!

I’m with Mike I keep my Billfisher at my house but hope to get it in a slip before summer of next year.
I am in Marina Del Rey, where the slip fees are high and the fishing plain stinks.
