Nice day on the water still and the Solo Skiff is awesome out there, even when the wind picks up, you can still fly over the chop. My big catch was this long piece of rope and 3 Mylar balloons, the rope had been in the water some time. It had a bunch of pincher bug looking animals and tiny crabs living on it. I was glad I got it out before some whale or Dolphin got wrapped up in it. I HATE MYLAR! The Solo Skiff is AWESOME!

I live in Cardiff and there are 30+ boats at night--every night for the last week. Do what ever you can to be visible. According to WON most fish are being caught on Colt Snipers and similar jigs. Good Luck!!

kayaks? No gas, just human power.

I know what a skiff or boat can do but what about kayaks.
I like reading about kayak adventures.

Got outriggers mounted in case it gets too crazy out there

I gotta plan for the worse. Dont like the feeling of clinching my buttocks tighter than fresh meat at San Quentin for an extended period when mother nature gets angry but that's just my nervous nature.

My buddy tried those Ama's and they really slowed him down because they drag.

The key is to get on plane, the solo will literally skip across the swells and chop, you may get a little wet, but that's expected on these solos.
