I luv the butt myself! Wherever there are small ones there has to be mom and pop around.

Go get'em!

I fished the ARs years ago when I live in North county. Mostly sandies, calicos and sculpin for me. Theres not a great deal of hard bottom structure near O-side and those 2 rock piles get hit hard by PBs and the helgrens boats. I have caught YT and bonito there a few times and in the summer calicos will often move up in the water column n eat fly lined baits.

Having the bait receiver so handy can be a big plus.

Another structure spot worth trying is the pipeline out from Buccaneer beach. Ive caught some nice bass and a few YT there. I think it gets less pressure than the ARs. Mike
