Ah so that's why the closure on the 8.

Cool mold those will definitely get bit. Might not even need paint.

Tackle Talk / Re: Carnage II Surf Spinning - guide not in line with reel seat

Correct on ID'ing Fuji K guides. They have a forward slant by design which is advertised to reduce tangles.

As far as size, they aren't smaller because they are K guides. The K guides are available up to size 50! They are smaller likely because of mass production and cost cutting. Smaller guide size = cheaper cost per unit. Gotta balance price point and profits.

As far as guide sizing and spinning reels... yes there are a few rules of thumbs as far as picking the optimum size guide. But manufacturers can't predict wether you'll mount a 5000 or 8000 or 12000 size reel so they choose something in ballpark range. As long as the line doesn't bunch up or slap the blank when casting you're good to go.

Nice checker. "Surf-face" iron yellow is a definite bucket list fish.

Gotta hold your rod. It's everyones rail and both crew and people will be moving around. An obstruction on the rail is also a safety hazard.

Mack heads on a local sportie sounds like a great way to feed sea lions.

On offshore trips when we spend the night on water guys would throw chunk bait ( whole side slab or steaked macks ) and let it slowly sink. Lots of blues and makos taken that way but then we didn't have sea lions stalking us. On island trips I've also seen guys throw out live macks with a slash on it's tail. Wounded soilder I think they called it. Those did as good on sharks, fish, and sea lions about as equally.

So if I fix my plumbing and get out there tomorrow or Wednesday, where should I go. La jolla is pretty vague. Look for the parking lot?

This biomass of fish is pretty big. Big concentrations on the border, the pipe outside the green tanks, PB, NW corner, and off DM/TP... 14 fathoms right now is the universal depth it seems. Each concentration is moving fast though so by midweek I wouldn't be surprised if it spreads outside Oside if not already there. Just some current dope for ya. Good luck!
