nice meeting up with you guys yesterday.. we got a late start, and just caught the dolphin highway passing thru. Pretty amazing.

Only 2 hours, and I couldn't figure out my FF. In the harbor, it was reading reasonable depths, like 24-27ft.. but out in the rockfish areas, it would just display between 0.0 and 3.4 ??? The split screen looked reasonable, and sometimes I thought I was drifting over fish, but unsure. Luckily, Arvil was on the fish and sticking close to him, my son was able to pull in a nice sized copper on the double dropper loop.

lol.. he get's at least a nomination for Best Actor

And I get the award for Best Video Editing!


the backstory..

I don't even know what that small bait fish is.. or where it came from. I suspect the copper rockfish in one of it's convulsing fits might have puked it out (gross, right?).. my son rinsed it off and was inspecting it.

I said, "I bet you won't eat that", and he says, "what will you give me if I do".. I say, "nothing, but I'll video it, and mom will FREAK OUT"

He says, "uhmm... do I have to actually eat it?".. and we're ON.

Nice seeing all you guys out there. I agree with Will, next time have that many people out there from BWE, we should start a jackpot. We were running late so I did not have time to introduce myself.

The pod of dolphins was amazing!

Glad you guys made it out there. I tried my best to help keep you and your son on the fish. Get that FF figured out, and lets do it again.
