Thanks for taking the time to share more. Went out to DP headlands again on 11/05. Couldn't sleep so was up at 4:30 am. Bait fish galore. As I was making my way out, I'd shine the light in front of the rig and saw mega bait fish jumping out of the water from either side of the bow.

Anyhow, no problems this week filling the bait tank. Unfortunately nothing big to speak of. Caught many macks and a small calico. I think I'm going to take a fly rod out next week to keep me active while fishing for the bigger guys w/ live bait. As I'd catch a mack, kept thinking those guys can pull. Any suggestions on good mack fly patterns would be welcomed, otherwise, I'll just have to continue the experiment. Another great morning on the water. Check out the 4 part early morning video sequence of the sunrise. Awesome.
