hehe Thanks guys! I certainly appreciate it.
I'll post up a report w/info later...I gotta download some pics of my halibut rig/setup, in case it helps someone in the future.

Halibut fish tacos were fantastic last night. I think my wife was more stoked on the fish than the kayak. But my daughter Rosie wasn't quite as stoked on the halibut LOL, she wouldn't touch that fish even with a glove!

Nice fish Pat. I will love to get your review on the yak after you have a chance to try it.

Congrats Pat!  Can I hire you to be my fishing guide for halibut in Monterey?

Nice Halibut! We were out there on Saturday and nada.  So I"m looking forward to your recap. 

Congrats Pat!  The plan you outlined to me at 6:30 seems to have paid off!   Good job buddy.

I had a great time.  I slayed the rockfish.  Dropper loop with a little chuck of squid.   This was the exactly same set up my dad used on the Islander trip.   The fist eventually took the paint off that red hook.  Used the same set up all day long.  First spot was on the other side of the second yellow can and then fished the kelp beds close in.  A couple nice verms in the mix for me.  Best drop to hookup ratio for me yet.   Weather was great,  not flat but pretty much still perfect.   Hung out with a sea otter in the kelp beds and saw a pod of dolphins or porpoises,  not sure on the id of them.   Wife and family picked me up at one and we spent the rest of the day at the fish prison (Aquarium).   Long day,  in bed at 11, up at 3,  back in bed at 11 again.   I did get to sleep till 8 this morning!

It was great to see so many people that I have not seen in so long.   I also think this derby was great.  Bushy and MBK did a great job.  I look forward to next year.

Congrats Pat and it was good seeing everyone otw. Weather was perfect and wished the fishing was the same.

Pats the Man.

Way to stick it again Pat! And Thanx to MBK and Bushy who makes everyone feel like a winner, Awwwwwwwww!
