    Keoni,
    Great thread bro! Nice looking guns. I say you keep the wild one alive till you run outta fish. He'll have a long life that way. He's good luck you know.

  • Paddy Hopping 7-20

    Well we left for Catalina on Sunday morning 7-18, 5AM. I hit around 25 of the most beautiful paddys ever. Dove every one. The first was about 10 miles out of Oceanside that held 2 nice yellows. Went in for the kill and they split.:wtf1: I tried all the tricks I had, but they never showed back. Oh well, if this is my first paddy, imagine what the rest will be like. After all, I have around 40 miles worth of paddys ahead of me. Water was 67, and glassy.


    Those would be the only Yellowtail I would see the rest of the day. Some of the paddys were the size of a truck. Easy to spot. Lots of birds on them, lots of bait and jellyfish at every stop. Water started to get colder north of the 181. We zigzaged all over the place. A friend of mine went to San Clemente Island and had the same results. We later talked at Catalina on Monday. I dove the Island a little and spotted some nice sheepshead and Calicos. No shots taken.


    Well, we headed back yesterday, 7-20. Same result on the way home. All paddys were dry. Pure glass and little swell if any. We were also running downhill so it was a great ride.


    We went to Catalina for a little vacation with the wives. They took the Cat Express both ways outta Dana Point, so the diving was a plus. Still, I was expecting some YT for BBQ when we got there. Oh well, we had a great vacation with great friends.


    This is the 4th run offshore out of Oceanside in July for no love. I'm gonna wait till August. Then hit Mexican waters out of SD.

  • 182-181-Report 6-17

    Left Oceanside around 6AM headed to 182 in brutal mixed swells. After a long pounding ride, we reach the 182 couldn't spot a paddy it was so rough. Headed to 181 in same conditions. Laid down a bit there but no real paddys. Headed in to Oside around 11AM after only spotting 5 paddys all day due to the wind and chop. Got to the harbor just after 1PM. Decent ride back going with the swell. All in all, a tough 93 miles of pounding out there. Should have stayed local. Hitting Catalina tomorrow so we'll see how that goes. Water was 66 all day everywhere till we got back to Oside it was 67. Washed the boat, went to the cantina and with the crew,and :alchohol1: and :toast: :toast::toast:
