Pt Pinos 8/7/06 - nice conditions

Launched at 7:30 from Coral St (glad I had a piece of carpet to help slide P15 over the 4-5 ft wall - but then it was just a few feet to the water) to perfectly smooth conditons, warm and windless.  A couple other non-yak muscle- power boats were in the kelp, but I wanted to get outside when the getting was good.  Got a lot of small rockies, mostly coppers, some blues.  I got two big Olives in one retrieve about 40 ft down in 100 ft of water, just jigging my way up with shrimp fly and 5 oz diamond bar tipped with bucktail, both with some squid pieces.  Then dropped down 40 ft and again got two good olives, one got off as I was getting the biggest in.  No ling love. I tried the rebar rig- needs a 3-way swivel to the scampi.  Got in at 12,still calm, a slight breeze only.   By the time I got around to Marina, maybe 1:30, on the way home it was blowing strong over there.  Coppers had little 1/2"crabs (still alive) in stomachs.
