It was real windy in Corte Madera today and tonight. I'm sure it was blowing hard out off Paradise.

I'm in no real rush to get to Oyster today. Paradise for certain tomorrow. I wish I could fish Sun/Mon!
If you don't know where you're headed, any road could get you there.

Mako, I'll see you out there tomorrow...  I'll be the guy moving slowly since I've only done this a few times.  Question on fishing bait at Paradise... Do you guys use stinger hooks on shiners, or just hook them through the nose?

I have fished them with and without a stinger.  I believe the stinger hook is the best way since Halibut seem to be frequent short biters.  If you hook the main hook through the holes that look like nostrils and the stinger hook just behind the anal fin, the bait are still able to swim and seem to live a long time.
