My set up is pretty low tech. A bit of dish soap and a soft brush for the yak and paddle.

My Plano box usually gets wet so I rinse the box, lures, pliers, ect and spread them on a towel to dry...

I've found the old school dropper loop keeps the bait and weight separated better than the 3 way swivel.

As for trap hooks, many good halibut anglers swear by them. But I've found traps get...

I believe north Coronado Island is 15-18 miles from point Loma. Not sure what it is from Playas Tijuana. Nados can be a tough windy place.
