I bought the bait at the receiver, sardines, on the large side. I must have missed your post, I've answered a couple of post asking about DP. What questions do you have?

I drift over areas, sometimes down at the bottom, which accounted for three of the fish, and sometimes fly lined, which accounted for the others, it kind of depends on what I'm seeing on the FF. I rarely troll for anything, and if I do it's usually on the way out or back, and I use a rapala or similar, or a mackerel if I get one.

Just wondering if there's a save area to sleep in your truck close to the launch after fishing. Besides the camping areas at Doheny state beach and don't want to pay for a motel. Walmart let's you use there parking lot. To rest.

Afternoon nap 3pm you might say.

So you're looking for a nap area in the afternoon? You could just stay in the launch ramp area parking. It's $15 to get in, launch and park for 24 hours, you should be able to sneak a nap in...

There is a Walmart fairly close, in San Clemente. Anywhere near the harbor is restricted for parking overnight as far as I know. There is public parking next to the launch area that you might get away with but again, I'm not sure.

Where are you coming from?
