Adi take this in the best possible way.

Mothership, my eye.
That is such a cheater move it doesn't bear mentioning. Might have been on water wings or a pool noodle if you're going to MS w/in sight of land. Why even get in the water, once you found them? Might as well just fish them.

Me and CaboJohn take at least one 20+mi offshore paddle every Summer --and are planning our next shot w/in the next few weeks. It's roughly a triangle w 7mi legs. I advise to leave early (being ~5mi off by sunrise), be very visible (a flag is good), have all your safety gear in order including flares and horn, and don't get in over your head! 7 miles is an average to light day at LJ. Now triple that, with constant paddling and very little "fishing". When the water's right (Aug-Sep) there are yt and dodo and yft w/in yak range. Just don't take looking for them lightly. And mothershipping to them doesn't count.
