We went out of the USCG after work last week. Took two of us to carry my PA down to the water...what a pain in the ass! I don't know how you rolled it out there. Even the Revo sunk in the sand! I wish they would hurry up with the repairs. I heard the new docks will be in after the first of the year!

Hope they are able to put in a concrete walk way...that would make life alot easier....think next time I will launch from the Kayak rental place...it only 15 min away from the bait barge...

my buddy and i went out to dana a couple of weeks ago. nothing for us. the water temp was 55*, lots of people said that it was too cold for anything to bite. it was our first time.

Thought I'd give it a try today, hearing that there has been some action in the back bay. Launched at about 4 pm and got out about 7.30 pm.

Landed a 16" spottie, while trolling Lucky Craft Flash Minnow 110 Candy Sardine.

Like everyone else, past few trips to NPH and the kelp bed outside was NADA. Water was too cold, I think.
