first time out in La Jolla on the ski this week and forgot i needed 2 stroke oil after i had already dumped the ski into water at Dana Landing.. tied it up to the dock, put my rods and anything valuable back into my truck and booked it back home with an empty trailer! 25 mins later i was back at the dock and relieved to see no one stole my ski!

slow morning that didn't get going until about 9am when the current started to flow.. never really saw any surface boils.. got picked up on a spanish mack at 85' and tried to tow it into deeper waters.. felt like a walking a dog as i lead him out to sea.. had him about 40-50' under me when the flouro leader popped at my knot below my swivel!!! sh*t!

felt like a good one, big heavy head shakes.. Seaguar Flouro is damn expensive and that's what i get for trying to milk some mileage off it.. thought about changing that leader 2 trips ago, and i should have!

Arne's favorite RED private boater drives right by me and hooks up on probably a rapala from how fast he was trolling around everyone.. they take about 8 swings at the gaff on what looks like a 10# YT..
about 5 mins after i get picked up again on a spanish... gets briefly stuck in the kelp and i freespool it and after the 3rd try it somehow gets unwrapped and get a 13.5# YT..

sorry about the furbag Brad... for a second i thought we got it back for you!!

good luck this weekend.. watch out for those crazy boats out there!
