First thing I'd do is throw that rod holder away.

this a good thing? myself and another tbhr will be headed down sunday and will be there until Thursday morning. Looks like wind will be E/SE for majority of the time maybe even a north wind at one short point. Think this could help??

edit: looks like full moon is on the menu as well.

You sure about that full moon? We just had a full moon about 10 days ago.

I fished with the Nu-mark shoulder bag similar to that for years, love the access to all my stuff. In the shallower areas its a PITA as it wants to swing around and get in the way when trying to land a fish.

Agree with Glenn, ditch that rod holder, it’ll be in the way and you’ll likely never use it.

That’s one of the reasons I like it. I find my reel underwater a lot when I’m taking fish off. I’d say stringing fish, but I don’t hardly catch anything big enough to keep.

Phillip has one and the rod holder was handy IMO.

You are Mayhem, how do you get your reel underwater so much?

It’s a gift I guess. Belly to chest deep water makes it reel easy. See what I did there??

Haha, nice one.

Yeah, I could see that, I stay away from water that deep.

I think the last time they got him he posted a picture of 12-13 fish on the floor his boat and said he got his limit and threw the rest back after a picture.

On several occasions. Then the whole bait bucket deal. But really? Did he get so butt hurt he took his toys and went home?

My latest wade belt is one of those deals with gaskets on it. I took some broke ratchet strap and screwed it to the sides. It stays pretty dry unless I'm in the surf

Same set up I use. It’s nice having that rod holder there if you need two hands, if you’re deep it keeps it up and out of the water.

What have you guys found works well for tool storage on your boats? I'm wanting to keep a small tool kit on board but not sure how to go about keeping them from rusting up. What have you guys found that works well for keeping the salt from eating away at tools?

Ziploc bag with the tools wrapped in a towel soaked with CLP.

Thats what your mouth is for! Know im walking into this one but the rod just goes into my mouth when im stringing a fish.


Fished last weekend in the upper Laguna and had an awesome trip. First day was a little rough and had to work for them second day was alot better...once we figured out where the fish werent! Tide was way low compared to what it has been all year so just had to figure out where they dropped off too.

First day caught 2 limits of trout and 3 reds on top waters second day had 3 limits of trout and 4 reds. Mix of top waters and croakers on the second day when my little brother came down. Fun times and was hot as hell!!

Will be headed back at the end of the month for another round

We will be down there first weekend of next month. Looking to fish Pita Island down to Emmords Hole as it seems a little bit deeper and we dont know the area. If it looks okay, I have intentions in checking out the area between north/south bitd islands as well. Running at 20’ pathfinder. This sound like a decent place to start?

Glad to hear yall had a good trip too. Few limits each day is pretty solid to me!
