True. Being laid-back and approachable is pretty much the norm for fishermen, unless its a tournament or deep-sea sport fishing ... neither of which I would recommend.

Haha, that's a good story with the Hammerhead.
I haven't gone out to sea yet, but I've wanted to for a while now. I just haven't had the proper chance.

You really don't have to go very far from shore to get good fishing in areas, as long as you are fishing for something to eat and not just sport. When I was very young Half Moon Bay was one of my Dad's favorite places to go out, though that was in the 1950s. Not sure quite how far that is from you, but it could be a good day trip.
My mother was always guaranteed amusement on board. We nicknamed her the Trash Collector because she was always catching stuff you did not want to reel in...... the hammerhead, stingrays, dogfish, lots of seaweed, jellyfish, partially eaten fish and just flotsam from wreckage or the occassional polluter.
