Memory is not the first thing to go with age, but I seem to remember 18-27# brown twisted wire, Berkley i think. 6" to 9" shortys. I usually fish 20# test line and like to keep from ever powering things. I never had the wire itself break. I fished 1/2 oz to 4 oz jigs with them. Hope this helps.

"Not to beat the dead horse" as the saying goes;

However, what is the advantage of having a FMM if one still has to STOP to have it stamped?
If you have to stop, is filling and paying for it too time consuming?

On a better note, I feel really accomplished. Yesterday after many years of the kayak sitting and waiting for me to "accessories" it, I installed many items on it. Not done yet, but it will be “a bichin ride” when I am rolling in Baja.

Well I am sure that you stopping and paying for your fmm will seem like no time since you have spent at least 3000 hours preparing for this trip!!!

That is funny and not too far off.

3000 and counting.

When I take a task on, I do it with %100 effort.

Being well prepared never hurts. Just back again. I cannot STRESS too much over this. Lot's of bait, schools all over and most are made up of 1-2 inch anchovetas, Baby anchovies and very small sardines. That's the bad of it. The good is there were MANY SCHOOLS of Sierras.
Bring small crocks, cast masters and spoons. DO NOT FORGET wire leaders. I caught, triggers, bass, cabrilla, sculpin, corvina and sierras, all from the beach in less that 2 hours. Saw roosters, a sea snake, and turtles too.
Svendawg and EOD will be there this coming weekend, they will be staying until after we get there on the 17th. Of course they will fish hard the week before we arrive so they will have a GREAT update for us when we get there. Tight lines all. BTW the temps are coming down at night, bring a hoodie or light jacket just in case. It was 72 at 6am this morning.

Thanks for the update Bob.

I am just curious; since you go there so often and have a place, do you carry everything you need back and forth?
Items like your kayak, fishing equipment, sleeping items, etc.

I know you must transport cooler for food and ice, Clothing and personal items.
Besides those, what else goes back and forth with you?

Do you have a safe place to store your belongings?
