I saw you out there Thursday Aaron. Yes, I was the one with the dune colored PA. I wanted to say HI to you but you looked like you were having a rough day

. After you and all the boats left, my fishfinder lit up like a christmas tree! I metered a lot of YT under me. Me and my buddy, Dave, hooked three YT's in no time.

I've only had the PA for a week and already have hooked more fish than the past year. Personally, i don't really care about timely reports any more. Because i know there is always yellows in La Jolla. And with improved equipment you will hook up more than ever!

And with all due respect Aaron, you might want to start thinking about buying a new Kayak and retire that old school yak and buy a nice fishfinder. It makes a huge diffrence trust me! It took me a long time to figure that out because i ain't that smart.

With a Hobie, you get to the spot faster with less exhaustion and you spend more time fishing and you can cover a lot more ground. If you are serious about hooking up more, then you may want to make changes in your equiptment.

Aaron, let me know if you want to test out my PA - any time. I have no regrets. Yes, I'm also old school but after seeing all the Hobie guys catching all the fish I decided it was time for a change. So with my new Hobie and nice fishfinder as far as I am concerneed - everyone can keep their up-to-date fiish reports! Don't need them becase i'm GONE fishing!

Thanks, Driftwood.

You're a kind man.

Maybe, someday, when I'm working again, as an Electronics Tech, I'll take you up on that offer.

My name is Steve. I have a Hobie, a fishfinder, I am egocentric and I sometimes fish.

This thread got under my skin a little bit. No worries. I'll post this, then be done with it.

I'm pretty sure the "share" vs. "don't share" debate has been beaten to death. It has, and will always be the choice of the person that does the catching.

What I do have an issue with, is the new breed of guys that think they can tell someone what they are allow to share, and when they are allowed to share it. Not cool IMO. Go start your own website, become the moderator if you really need the power trip. Flaming guys for posting a Report in the Reports section...really?

Is that really the best you can find to do with your free time?

Yellows in 90 feet in the NW in the middle of August? On a (Gasp!) slow trolled sardine? Geez, don't blow the whistle on that hot bite
