Great report

. Makes me want to drive down from Los Angeles for a shot at the YTs

. Definitely get a handpump. Even a water gun from ToysRUs can act like a bilge pump in a pinch.

If I head down, I'll be on channel 72 and fishing from a red Malibu X-Factor. Give me a holla!

Thanks Matt, but I think I'm going to hire DGAX. If anyone can install a rooster-tail internal 500GPH bilge system, complete with cockpit "that was easy red button", it's him. The last thing I want is another scare like that when I'm 25 miles offshore chasing tuna with the Hobie sailing model. I know I can swim for days if I have too, but never want to impersonate a top water plug to the wrong kind.

Big red buttons in the cockpit are so old school. Could I interest you in a bilge pump with an automatic float switch?

Don't even have to worry about turning it on.

How about a 10 gallon per MINUTE bilge pump?

We could rig the overboard discharge from the rear deck. You would look like a Yamaha Waverunner spittin' a rooster tail.

Nice fish Josh.

Saw your post, and I went out and looked around outside off WindanSea this afternoon (Sunday), 2 - 7 pm.

Got a couple little scoops of sardines from a departing PB, slow trolled dines while catching a few rockfish for dinner on the bottom (110'+plastics). The bull kelp is sure healthy outside the kelp line.

Late evening, I saw some moving bait and some "noses" puddling around, fired the Tady 45 and got bumped, but missed. Beautiful evening on the water.

Just had a red snapper fer dinner ... mmmmm.

Hey darkhorse, what did you catch that yellow on?
Just curious.
Thanks,
Willy
