All told, 9 hours in the yaks, and 20 miles covered.

That's one for the record books - you guys are pushing your equipment and your selves to the very limit. Way to live life to the fullest.

After checking the reports for thos Newport boats outside of us, they got flipped the fin too even with all their bait. I knew I wasn't hearing enough hoots and hollers from them.

The Freelance trolled past us with folks butz to nutz at the rails. I couldn't tell if they were envious or incredulous to see us out there. I sure wasn't envious of them, and more incredulous anyone would choose to jump on a boat w/ 59 of your closest friends.

Thanks guys. Try again soon, I guess. Can't beat that water.

This was one of the best and most amazing paddles I have ever been on. Conditions were perfect. Thank you Zed!

It was almost like being ideep in baja. I was reading water temps up to 75* outside and the water was deep clean baja blue. We worked really hard & just couldn't get the fish to eat our baits. I gut bumped on the lil rap but nuthing stuck. The huge packs of dorado were rushing our kayaks and it was nucking futs!

There were lots and lots of schoolie size with some big uns in the mix.

The reality of paddling out from a so cal beach and catching a dorado and/or yft and paddling back is no longer a fantasy or dream.

IT CAN AND WILL BE DONE!

I have the feeling that this is just the beginning of many reports (hopefully with better results!)

Keep putting in that kind of time and effort and you're bound to be rewarded!
