We ended up with the limits a to now Very, very good fission on the anchovies size to size for size 6 hooks. Light line. 15 to 20 pounds. We did have a little bit nicer. Grady elephant 15 to 20 pounds in the mix there. So come prepared, bringing the coat, snipers and mega bates light line. These addition uh anchovies when we've been getting them here. We're very fortunate enough. Barbie boat called us some last night and it definitely is been making a big, big impact on our dish. And it's been helping but uh, offshore fishing the next few days. Probably for a little while we're seeing a lot of yellow in a little bit of water on the account cuz we haven't been very lucky on those for whatever reason. I think because everybody's sufficient anchovy, but uh, plan on being able for the next few days, plenty of room for next week, trying to keep october going. Like I said, uh, kind of called it about this offer efficient. Doesn't look like it's gonna stop. So it's gotta keep, gotta keep the boat out, keep us on the fish.

And we just really put the woods, we got a bunch of cow goes on, some lowers and we just, we just let them all go. We got some nice, big fat ones. I just wanted to test some stuff out. Test the movers out and we did that once we're done. We pushed out towards $425.00 and came across a huge body about a 20 foot round patty with birds and yadda jumping around it. We strolled past it got a double hook up. Then we work to patty until we had an extra limits for 5 passengers. And then we trolled home up the canyon. We didn't see anything else all day. And that was it. Go back to mission bay, but it was a great, a great sized toronto, like anywhere from 10 to 20 pounders. Maybe a 25 pounder in there, most people's really, really nice fish.
