Swell

Hiramehunter...I was catching bait by the small pier when I saw you towing your son back into the harbor on Saturday...those were some tough conditions that morning. Those big swells were cresting at the harbor mouth. It looked like the PV police checked on you to make sure you were OK. They were watching all the boats go out that morning since it was a little challenging.
The area on the north side of the canyon 110' to 250' close to the harbor generally holds a lot of Sand Dabs...great Ling Bait and delicious little buggers, but they're not Vermilions.
Email me...jim@sabaslayer.com and I'll try and help you. You have to understand that 'Rocks don't move' so a good rockfish or lobster/crab spot is a gem to hold on to.
A good color fishfinder and a GPS are very valuable tools when fishing rockfish.
The breadcrumb or tracks feature is really helpful to track the hookups or areas worked.

I saw you(didn't know it was "you" but another kayaker!) that morning! It was pretty rough like you said! My son started getting a headache right away so I knew it was gong to be short! I guess I need to invest in a FF with GPS. What's a good moderately priced FF+GPS? I'll email you as well!

I got a good workout towing my son in! But it's well worth it since he loves going out! Nothing better than going kayak fishing with your son even if the swells are HUGE!!!
