Dana point/Hobie XL bait tank

Launched at 3a.m. picked up 4 greenbacks 2 spanish for the new Hobie XL bait tank. First off my thoughts on the new tank, added 3 more rod holders to make 5. I love how you can space them out, so many options. The new switch "Tony" so simple and flawless. I ran the water level at the low setting 6gal. and the macks thought they were in a mansion. Could easily hold 10 baits before bumping up to 11gal. Primed instantly no issues all day....Love the New Tank, thanks Andy! Soaked a couple until first light in hopes of a , no ghost's just a ghost town. Headed straight out from the headlands 6 miles with a fly lined mac then turned north for a couple miles looking for paddy's. Found 3 paddy's with the third one being my pot o gold! After 4 trips searching off shore and at least 60+ miles on a PA14 "no easy task" i finally got one 24lbs. Fish was caught on a Shimano Butterfly flat fall jig!!!! They would not touch the greenbacks.....
