    Default No Kill Bag Needed

    Took Old Blue out for a shake down trip. Launched around 1pm or so.

    The good news
    The new trailer is the best!
    She's running great but after sitting in the water for 3 weeks, now has a minor cooling issue - time to pull the elbow I guess. She's still a pleasure to run and runs well.

    The bad news.
    Coughed up $35 for half a scoop at Mission Bay. ran out to the ridge 18 or so out. Saw some life along the drop off at 6 or so. nothing much out at the ridge along where we ran. Wound up about 6 or 7 off of Carlsbad and found some birds and a little fish up there. None of it wanted anything to do with us. We started seeing stuff pop up around 6 or 6:30 and it just got more and more active till dark to a point where we were seeing single and double birds working and diving over a wide area. Couldn't buy a bite. Saw a few whales.

    Good weather and came home in the dark. This was a really enjoyable trip.

    The net boat made two sets on the ridge just above the 182 around noon. My buddy broke off a big one in that area in the morning. Nothing for me yesterday.
    Did you see big fish or the 70 lb dinks up at Carlsbad?

    The only one we laid eyes on we both thought was about the size of a seal but there were no mammals other than whales in the area. So it was no dink. I don't know what kind of whales we were seeing but they didn't look big enough to be blues.
