Nice DAY ONE Butt Andrew!!!!!!!!!

I've got your $20.00 bucks warm in my pocket. 8)

We bailed on the LJ trip and hit SD Bay for the BUTT Hunt. Beautiful conditions and even better cured 5-6" deans @ EB. The guy on the receiver was so cool to dig up da kine bait for us. $5.00 for a yak scoop - which was more than two bait buckets can hold. These were hot baits and the highlight of the day. We were getting hammered right off the sub base. Shorts unfotunately that we tosssed back.

The bummer incident happened when we got pushed out of the bay by a ripping outgoing tide + 2-3 kt current. Before we knew what hit us - we were looking at the lighthouse in our rear view mirror.

Time to turn the steam on and get our asses back in the channel before we ended up @ San Clemente..... After an hour of head down power stroking - we never made any headway and had to be towed in by Harbor Police.

Very cool assist by the Boyz in Blue - but an embarrasing scene for a couple Bobblehead Yak Douches..... Oh the Humanity!!!!!

Memo to the contingency that wants to venture out of SD Bay and time the tides: "Be sure to factor in wind + current + tide swing." Or you'll end up clinging to the outside Bouy and praying for a tow in.

Peace and Good Hunting to all and to all - a safe night.
