Thanks Bob - sounds like an early calimari caper situation... with wire!

We were able to get over to that water very easily during last year's "yakbone" clave in everything from canoes to kayaks, I even rowed over in my whitewater kickboat. Man that would be some excitement to shake off the winter blues with some spring blues!

Don't know if it was the radical wind shift ( or just my clumsiness ) but I had many refusals today with wire. They'd hit poppers and bangers on top but even that was sporadic. Fish seemed particulary spooky. Finally shifted to 20# flouro tippet and a 6" white squid for a pair of nice wrap-up 8# blues. ( Had to carefully watch them take it to try to keep the dentitia away from the tippet )

That's a good tip, I'll bring some heavy flouro along with the American Wire Co. Bangers in May! Gotta love it. I hope to start Friday eve on that stretch and fish Sat dawn closer to the clave grounds to get some scouting in before Mother's Day.

Juro,
What time do you think you'll be there? I'm heading down that way for the 1st time in my yak. I should be there (hopefully) around 2PM. How do you get there?
