I was on this trip as well. Tough day catching keepers.

Agree about the 8 oz. Lots of unnecessary tangles.

Plus I think that electric reels should be prohibited in less than 500 feet. They guy next to me had 2 parked on opposite sides of the boat. He would get tangled but keep bringing it up at full speed. As a result I lost 200 feet of brand new Daily boat braid when I got sawed off.

There was a wheelchair angler and he was able to crank em up just fine. Even he said he would feel like an idiot using one. What a trooper and inspiration this guy was.

Interesting seeing the cops at dock. If it would have been better fishing I am sure some of the rogues would have gotten fines.

That trip was definitely a case of should have been on the last trip. Oh well. That's fishing. Slept well on ride back in and stayed up until 12:05 so wife was happy.

Happy New Year to all.
