I too was a Masterbaiter then deckhand on the Island Holiday at Davey's Locker/ Balboa Pavilion back in the 60's. OC coast was a nice place back in the day. Now its just a huge, over rated parking lot.
I met a guy working on the fishing boats out of that place. He started as a summer job and stuck with it as a deckhand on the charter fishing boat many years. He was awarded the top deckhand award doing this. The captain gave him the award vest with the title on it in large letters. He was the MASTER BAITER ! If you are a new fisherman and need some help you need to be MASTER BAITED
I used to live on Balboa Island and the ferry was 10 cents to go across on foot. I think a car was a dollar, but I was 14 and didn't have a car so I could be wrong. I remember when the Wild Goose would come into Newport Bay and it tied up to a buoy over by Lido Island where John Wayne lived. Mostly though they kept the Wild Goose in Oceanside Harbor because of its size. It is really too big for the harbor.

The mail lady is me. I still feel the same today.
Really? How is the Ferry doing during the Pandemic? I used to live on Balboa Island, on Amethyst Ave in the late 60s.
