Yeah, my Hobie paddle had a leash and was attached to the shaft by a yellow velcro strap. I even have my name or Phone number engraved on the blade. Please check if you have a Hobie paddle and send me a PM if you find it. The last time I saw it was when it was on cart number 28 and it wasn't there when I got the last of my gear. Thanks Guys, Mark.

Lot's of smaller grade yellows and some up to about 30 pounds. Handful of halibut, lots of bass, whitefish, rockfish stuff like that. Fun trip! Good weather! Good people. The crew worked their asses off for this trip.

Tony summed it up well. The crew was awesome. The food incredible, the wind was the only issue. Caught a bunch of calico's, small grade yellows and lost a couple of large yellows. One right at the yak when the 30lb yellow I was ready to gaff pulled the 40lb fluorocarbon leader right onto the mirage drive fins and broke off the leader. The second when I was fighting it in 100' of water and gaining line the frickin Ultra fishing boat pulls up 35 yards behind me and drops his anchor. That Asshole, the noise made my fish sound straight down and pulling hard on my tightly adjusted drag when at the bottom he wrapped me up in some rocks and I could never get it loose, finally had to break the 65lb braid. The trip was awesome and I can't wait for the next one. What a way to break in my Hobie Revolution 13. Thanks OEX and Islander.

Thanks for the updates, fellas.

Glad to hear the YT are still around. The trip I chartered is heading back out on Sunday. Looks like the weather is shaping up, as well.
