With the wind forecast I decided to fish the rivermouth and C&R'ed 5-6 short flatties and a leopard. I guess I need to get out to the point or salt creek to find the keepers.
PS-Try not to blame the baitbarge guys, they don't make the rules and they are actually very generous to kayak'ers with their scoop. In the 3 yrs I have fished Dana Pt. they have never been able to do a half scoop, but they will give you as much as your tank will hold at one time.

Ya I think I was just still mad that a stupid sea lion ended my day. Didn't mean to take it out on the bait guys. I guess I’m just used to fishing in ffice:smarttags" />lace w:st="on">Newportlace> where they will top you off 2 or 3 more times if you need it. O well live and learn. Next time I will load up my Shimano Bristol bay tank and not worry about it. My 500 gallon an hour pump can handle a pretty large scoop. Like 30-40 deens depending on sizefficeffice" />>>
