Pliska says he's going to put up $40 and plans to enter and win BOTH jackpots. Pretty ambitious of him but I wouldn't say he can't do it either.

We're talking WSB only bet, QUALITY meat, I'm tired of eating butt meat and don't like being called a "butt muncher".....I don't like making little fish fillet fingers out of bass either.

So that means $20 more for the side bet for dp. I'm sure he has a tourney fund he can dip into.

Pretty long odds there, grego. I feel I've got a better chance to out 'but pliska than catch a seabass. Maybe I'll just follow Cabo.

Sure, you say that now, but if you do catch a good 'but, you know you're gonna munch it! lol

Is the bait barge now charging $10 and how has the bait been?....I'll probably try and make my own, but am curious.

Andy,

The bait barge raised prices to help cover rising fuel costs. Kayak scoops are now $10 but the bait is consistently good sized and well cured. They tend to give you a lot of bait compared to kayak scoops I've gotten from other bait barges. Currently they have 5-7" Sardines.

I fished the point early yesterday. Launched around 4:00. It got a little windy at dawn but layed down nicely by 6:00. Water was 71 and clear blue.

It was a bit tough making bait early but I got 3 oversized spanish. I was wishing I had picked up some sardines on my way out. Started trolling north along the kelp line with a 1/2oz barrel to keep it in the water. Zinged real good at around 6:30, waited a 5 count and pulled that big spaniard right out of it's mouth
Kept working the same area and an hour later zzzz...ZZZZZZing again. Waited a 10 count, the rod loaded up and it made a strong short run into the kelp. I had 40# spectra on and started sawing through but lost it before I could cut my way out. There were some balls of sardines around after dawn but couldn't manage them on the only sabiki I had with me.

10:00am - Paddled back to the bait barge and picked up some Dines. Did a quick pass for 'buts off the river mouth at Doho and then the usual spots around the harbor before landing. Got lots of shorts and 3 just legals but no big girls. Targeting flat ones early at the tide turn probably would be a different story.
