Was only paddling 0.5 mph heading north into the wind so I didn't try to make it to the headlands. Bait wasn't easy but it's there. Picked up a few lone greenbacks outside the harbor mouth then ran into a two small schools and pulled up maxed out sabikis to fill my tank with 8"+ sized macs. Didn't want to get stuck downwind so I just flylined a few for a mile or so outside the green buoy. Ended up with two sunburnt legs even with sunscreen. Might try again tomorrow, but heard it's been slow here for about a week.


Oh yea, reminder to leash your gear. Ran into a guy that lost all his stuff on his first outing. Rough start to the addiction.
