As my pop would’ve said, there’s more than one way to skin a cat. And if it doesn’t break, don’t fix it

I used the Palomar knot for just about everything until fluorocarbon came out, then I learned the Double Uni for connecting to mono. With braid had to learn the RP knot for connecting to fluorocarbon or mono leader. That’s pretty much the extent of my ropemanship.

Nothing wrong with fish tacos!

Great stuff! Fine looking young man. Can’t wait for my 3 yr old grandson to get a little older. Was that staged - with the gopher snake appearing at Snake Charmer’s property? Lol

I learned it years ago from the captain of the Royal Polaris, hence the name RP Knot. He claimed he invented it. He only uses five wraps and catches 300 lb tuna, so I’ve never used more than five.

Steve, For top water straight braid is fine. For everything else I tie braid directly to a few feet of floro leader. I mostly use the RP knot for the connection. It has a very low profile and I’ve never had a problem with it. Go onto YouTube and find a video if you don’t know how to tie it...

Once you start using it, you’ll never go back Steve. No more mono memory, no stretch, no more changing line every other trip. Fresh, salt, I use it on every reel I have. And it revolutionized the tackle industry for the better imo.

Spot-lock changes everything for the small boater. We haven’t deployed the anchor once since getting the new electric motor a few years ago. I would say braid was the greatest thing since mono, and Spot-lock is the greatest thing since braid

Good luck YETI. Post a report when you return. Catching rockfish after failing to find the tuna is something I’m familiar with.

Your dogs have real gangster looks on their faces, like “dont mess with our master”. lol.

That’s a big one Steve! Western Diamondback. The IV is about the furthest west they’re found, before giving way to Southern Pacifics, Reds, sidewinders and Mojave Greens. Quail hunting in the IV a couple of years ago My buddy John drew the short straw and had to crash through some thick...

One of the best aspects of this deeeeeep fishing for ground fish is that the sport boats cannot wipe out the spots. It’s way too deep to anchor, and way too deep to drift. On the small boat, we use the electric motor on Anchor Mode. Problem solved.

FanBasstic!

Someone’s prayer got through. Can’t imagine what you all were going through when it was touch and go. So glad he’s recovering!

Nice bass!! Weight?

i hope I never find out what it feels like being hauled up from 700 feet.

Headed to the 14 Mile Bank yesterday with Dennis on the 17’ Boston Whaler “Allison Christine”. Left Dana Point Harbor at 6:30 am and first tried to make some mackerel for ling cod bait but just couldn’t find them, so left after an hour with only one in the tank. I’m new to the trendy “soft...

Hey I said that! Doh!
