Sounds interesting, didn't The Darkhorse do this a while back but instead went looking for paddies?

How far out you guys are talking about going? To N9? or just heading west of LJ launch and keep searching for paddies?

My plan is to head out this Thr. with the IA offshore to see what I can see. I will be getting t0 LJ at 5, set up, try to make bait on the way out, then troll most the day out there to see what happens. Anyone else is welcome to join, I will have a sail so that means I may take off for bits on my own because I will be moving faster then most, but the more the merrier. Let me know if anyone wants to join, could be EPIC!

When I get back in town, I'd be happy to be a shadow boat in my skiff.

This is a great idea. I'm in.
I think we can get a bigger armada together if we plan for a Saturday or Sunday. |

If youre looking for more people and more boats you should definitely charter a boat on the weekend w 75 of your closest then.
Since this is a discussion Im curious how you all see this going down. A dozen more or less strangers of varying abilities paddling/pedaling in a broken line to an unknown point on a map? A dozen guys racing to a birdschool and chucking iron at each other? Fanning out on 12differnent headings and keeping coms by radio? F it we're catchin tuna? Whats the plan? One thing that I think got missed is awareness. Im not trying to be an arrogant internet prick. Im trying to share some experience. Just be aware. Log every single boat n bearing you see for 360deg into your mental radar and track them all conatantly. They all will be changing courses and speed chasing the same things you are and there are some idiots. Take commuting. You see some stupid shit on roads. Theres no lanes to follow out there and stupidity has no bounds. Keep your heads up and come up w a plan for the day and plan for when shit goes bad. Ita a long summer. Lots of chances ahead.

Wish I still had the bigger boat to help out! I did learn the hard way that Hobie PA's don't tow worth a sh*t. Ended up having to strap them down for the ride over to Cat! If your going offshore in a PA, I would not count on being able to tow it at any sort of speed where you'll actually get somewhere in decent amount of time!

this ^^^^^ is very true. for DP being a small harbor it draws a lot of traffic. In the fog with low visibility ... may not be the safest. Rough winded seas with boat wake caused by the "stupidity" of a boater can be sketchy. I think 2 or more (buddy system) and radios are a must. Today looked like a great morning to be on the water. Perfect clearing skies and smooth seas. Good luck gents. |

Went offshore LJ on Tuesday. Made it about 8 miles out-similar spot to last trip. Not much bird/tuna action at all. Saw one good foamer that is about it. Not much bait like last time. Long day, must have covered about 20mi. Conditions were pretty good; 5mph wind 3-4 foot swell. Saw lots of blue whales - one came right in front of my kayak and I followed it for a few minutes. It is amazing how glowing neon blue they are in the water. Made macs this time, got a yellow on the mac flyline on the way in at about 5 miles out, off the edge of the canyon, 800+ feet of water, about 17lbs I am guessing. Definitely the farthest out yellow I have caught on the kayak. Trolled Rapalas and mac flyline all day.

I was only a year off.
I thought last year we'd see bft in the canyon. Seems pretty likely now.

Yanni and I went for a 10 hour offshore from DP, kelps all over in that zone, went WSW then looped N and in plenty of bait balls on the meter, terns grouped up picking at bait, couple smaller porpoise schools but no fish in that area yesterday. Conditions were killer, other than the mixed short interval swell, this was around noon, winds stayed under 10 kts after peaking late morning. Parker obviously thought we knew what we were doing as they slid in and did a drift Water temps were 69-70 green.
