Thanks JD...see you there!

Kickin-Seriously...the boy was up at 0530 for a 5 hour paddle, then back to the pool for about 2 hours of swimming, then back in the ocean for a few hours of spearo play, and then beach fishing before and after dinner...by the end of the day he was burnt and grumpy...even worse the next morning.  Gotta pratice moderation!

Thank you for the report, I'll be there in two weeks! Two years ago I caught my first kayak caught fish there. We went straight out a little past the boat moorings. Do I need to go way out to have a shot at a YFT?

John... what a way to get introduced to our sport... with nice dodo.  Excellent!

Tuna were being caught less than a mile paddle from the Ranch in 100 ft plus depths.  I fished a fly-lined sardina with a small 2/0 hook through the nostril.

Good luck.... we'll be hoping to see more pics when you get back.

Sean-

Thanks again for everything. For caring and sharing and for all of your help down there. By the sound of it, you didn't bloody my gaff as much as I would've liked... maybe next time. See you in Elk... that'll be another epic fish fiesta.
