Blackman and the Fabulous Fish Machine

[hijole]

Don and Shirley showed me an old scrap book of black and white pictures. They had pictures of Dons dad or grandfather's turtle farms on the Baja coast (Pacific side). The turtle pens were built along miles of ocean front property.

I've owned my boat for close to 20 years and I can't find any good photos that don't have my ugly mug holding up a fish in them.

I do have a couple item that were passed down from the original owner Dick Loub. I have a copy of the September 1983 issue of San Diego Fisherman, were the boat made the cover shot. The boat was only three months old at the time. In the magazine's marlin club section, there's some advice from "Ms Blackman" on down sizing the marlin gear to fit the ladys.

The second item is a post card of San Diego with the boat front and center(1985). The third photo is the only photo I've taken of the boat over the years and it was done with an early vintage digital camera. Most likely too grainy to use. If the vintage stuff interest you, I'm sure they can be digitized at a much higher resolution than I use on this thread. There are a few pictures of our boats at bocapix.com Most of us aren't big into photography as you will see.

Janitor (Don't see a name). The cover is great. If you could send me the Ms Blackman marlin advice that would be great.
