Have a fish finder and GPS for rock fishing. Squid jig just in case. For sure need bait well and radio to call chase boat.

Thank you cris very much for the offer. I live in South OC. I think I am going to build my own using cooler and air pump.

You need water cycling in and out, not just aeration. I’m in Fullerton if you want to borrow one of mine

X2.. I mean macs are pretty hardy.. when I don't have my tank running I take a small plastic storage container out, it sits in back perfect and the macs survive all day as long as I replenish with fresh water and keep protected from sun.. anything else will belly over and scale out in minutes

360 to 500 GPH is average, any bigger and your looking at boat pumps.. Good luck my friend..

By the way, I did this trip a few years ago. Get some super brigh tape and mark all your gear. They pile all the gear up on deck and it's tough when there are 15-20 hobie seats or mirage drives on deck to find which one is yours. Mark all your gear with tape. Also bring a small bin for all your loose stuff so it doesn't get lost.

Like the others said bait tank is a must, vhf radio is huge for calling in the small boat to bring you beer and bait.

Also keep in mind that if you like to fish all day they will bring you food to the kayak if you want.

Have Fun, If I didn't have Baja at the end of the month I would probably be on that trip as well.
