IF anyone is interested let me know. This way if we do run into a GW... our odds of survival increase a bit.

I always wanted to go down that far and mark reefs along the way. I think I'll wait until the big numbers of Whites diminish first

I was at the pipe on Monday and had no bites, couldn't even find bait there. Ended up finding Macs closer to the green buoy, and some bass closer to Doheney. The water dropped to around 61 from 65 the previous weekend. Wind was light all day which was nice.

Yeah, I went on a Twilight trip on Sat. with my younger son and some family. I think there was 10 bass for the whole boat (60 people). Ripping current down south (San Mateo Pt), but water was 63º. We moved a lot and finished just uphill of Poache. That was were all the fish were caught, no current and 61º. Hopefully we find a few, if we go. I'm having a gout flareup and it's still pretty painful.

seems like water temps are all over the place but close to getting much better consistently. cant wait for warmer waters and hope the taxmen feel its too hot and take off from the areas.

I actually didn't get all the way down to the pier, there's some rocks just north of it where I was fishing. Nice structure and that's where the barries were. It really isn't that far, about an hour and a half or so pedaling. And I usually troll a couple of rapalas along the way. Didn't this time due to the amount of debris in the water.

There's a lot of good fishing spots down that way, it's worth the trip.
