The closer it is to the golden gate bridge the more dangerous the current is. Last weekend the current went from 0.2 to 1.9 mph in less than 20 mins on a not so big tides flip near Alcatraz.

The GWS is truly a majestic creature.

Very cool video,
First shark was much like my dog who has hidden his bone...... keeps a close eye on it for about 5 mins and then looses interest.... however my dog rarely attacks and when he does he cannot do much damage as he is 16 weighs about 14 lbs and has missing teeth. 

I have a friend that was part of the Nat Geo crew who did the jumping shark special that was in the Farlons..... he could not believe all the footage the editors cut as there were urchin divers going about there business some unaware many watching the sharks while they were working in the frames of the video.   

I pretty much assume that if the water is wet and salty sharks are within their smell radius.   But still few attacks.   I think they really do not like confrontation unless it is a clear meal and easy for them.

I cut up those old foam crawl tiles for babies and use them as leader holders.
One thing I religiously do is to soak all leaders used that day in dish detergent to get rid of any bait or smear scent for salmon fishing.
But I found my unused leaders brought on the trip can get rusty from the salt moisture.Now I am going to get some WD40 on the tiles hoping it can cut down rust.

Also been taught by an old timer to soak files in a strong chlorine solution to dissolve metal particles from your tools
Just don’t soak em too long

I would recommend diluted hydrochloric acid if you can find it. Chlorine will oxidize but not dissolve metal.

Bars, coffee and lots of water (6L if I fish until afternoon, 4L if only morning). I hate dehydration.

I also like this lure due to its rolling action and scent stuffing. A couple of questions below.
A few
Love cut plugs. A few more notes.
- the bite on this plug is due to action more than color, so if it doesn’t have the right action, you’re not getting bit
- leader stiffness and length affect action. Longer and flexible is better.
How long a leader and line rating do you recommend? I am using 4 ft and my line is pretty stiff.

- number of hooks and their size affect action. Smaller is better.
I am using 2 4/0 gama octopus hook. Is that too big?

- placement of hooks and other hardware used affect action. Less is better
I rigged up two ways on my two lures. One has the trailer hook one inch from the first and 3 inches on the second lure

- the way you stuff bait inside the plug affects action (don’t overstuff)

- modular lure to leader connection affects action. Tying the leader to the lure is better
- trolling speed is important. Test your speed
- carry spare rubber bands

I started using it this year and had some good results with it.
I used 30LB hard nylon monofilament/good bead chain and never had line twist issue.
The top hook was tied with an egg loop and the rubberband permanently lives there so no lost rubberband after a fish.

Damn those guides. Just find another job.
