Breaking fish, paddies, dolphins, bird activity - can you get any closer to your goal? Next time!

I thought about you when I was out on Saturday. I was almost run over by a couple of idiots in a cigarette boat and two cruisers. The cig boat saw me and were just a-holes. They should play nice as their truck/trailer are easy to spot at the launch. Are you flying flags and paddling bright colored kayaks to make yourself as visible as possible?

What was the current like? Is there any way to anticipate current direction/speed and plan your trip to take advantage of it?

Current wasn't that bad. Slight downhill but honestly it didnt affect us that much. the wind and white caps were more of a factor than the current. As far as predicting the current, I dunno. Ideally you would want to ask somebody who has fished offshore recently. Luckily I have a few buddies who were keeping me up on the conditions.

As far as flags and bright colors, neither. My x-factor is stone and I didnt have any flags. We didnt see many boats out there. Had a couple navy transport ships go by several miles inside of us... that was kinda trippy.
