I've only had the pacifics with the green squiggles on their backs but love them. They grill up nicely like sardines. Sadly, nothing would touch my sabiki when I was out at HMB over the weekend. I was hoping to make live bait for halibut, but also to get some macks to bring home for the grill.

A word of caution on that cable.  I've never had any luck with vinyl coated galvanized surviving very long on salt water.  The salt seems to wick right up and get trapped by the vinyl and starts to rust from the inside out leading to failure.

vinyl coated stainless looks to be $1 a foot at Home Despot - https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-1-8-in-x-1-ft-Stainless-Steel-Vinyl-Coated-Wire-Rope-809916/204765305

I was out Sunday and stopped out front with two other boats -- didn't see much bait on the screen, on my sabiki or going into the other two boats.

Always good to see a company stand by its products.

Anyone have any information on the kayak rescue at Oyster Point yesterday? Saw this posted on Coastside. Good work to the AI/TI kayaker on the rescue and catch!

Coastside report:
"I was at Oyster today. When I arrive there were all kinds of SSFPD cars and SSF fire trucks. One the police asked if I had binocs. Yes, I do. Turned out a kayak fisherman radioed for help just outside the breakwater and taking in water. A passer -by large sailing trimaran kayak picked up the guy and transferred him to a more stable real boat. The trimaran kayak skipper was the hero. The Trimaran had a large butt on board. BTW, 4 butts to 17# were landed by the pier anglers using fresh caught jacksmelts"

You get a new toy Damon or planning to mod out the Revo?

Cheers,

On the original topic, the DFW got back to me and it’s been escalated. Numerous complaints were made to CalTip.

Best post in this thread.

For your birdwatching pleasure - I understand it prefers a south swell but works other times. There's a pullout/overlook on the north side where you can get eyes on it. the break is right below you.
