Jeff,

So what’s wrong with a few extra items added to the boat? After two or three days on the boat in 110º weather you’ll be begging me to take a nice hot shower!

I don’t think you should cut the longusta out of the equation. I’m getting set up to work those bad boys this year. Got most of the gear ready to go. All I need to do is start collecting mackerel.

Mike,

Almost every fish I’ve caught this year has been outside of the tournament distance limits. What needs to be added is a minimum distance from the harbor entrance to go along with the maximum distance. I think you should have to go at least 20 mile from the end of the jetty before you can start fishing.
