F'n Troopers, man.. I spoke to Al, and he leaves his house at 0100. Launched at 0430. 1fters, stiff S wind, lowtide, biolum., water temp 61-62, water vis. 5-10ft (murky). Headed to the pier and made small spanish, with Vito. Headed out a little further and found nice greenies. A little after greylight headed to the fishing grounds. Half way there I get a call from Spooky007, saying that he got a thresher. I head overthere and snap a couple of "bendo" pics, and watch him fight it for awhile. Trolled around with greenies for nada. I came across another guy as I was coming in, and handed off the last of my greenbacks to him. Found some flat ground on the way in, and dropped down a pin-sized spanish. I get picked up, then heavy weight.. Then slack. Paddled in and saw Tobey at the launch. We chat for awhile, and watch some fish brought in. Nice seeing you, Tobey and Al..

Hey, anyone notice the bouy's closer in the reserve? I spoke to diver, who said that the canyon collapsed. And, maybe that's why the bouy's have been moved in. Also more fish coming through?! Anyone know?

The canyon collapsed...? Interesting. No, I believe the buoys were installed in the same locations as they have been in the past. They're anchored by engine blocks which tend to drift a bit over time. The thinking behind the new lower profile ecological buoys is that they will hopefully drift less. The company I work for has been putting the buoys in place for the last 10 or so years.

Thanks. I just remember the bouy's used to be placed a little east of Alligator Head (near the stairs going down to the beach)... Now they look like they are west of the caves. Is it also true that they put 700lb anchors on them? Let's hope they don't move again...
