1st post. im from the central coast. and pleased to be a registered member of this august body of experts. my vises are long range, central coast albacore, rockfish. going on a 7 day on the searcher june 10-17. trip goes to the rocks - hardly seems there will be enough fishing time while there. im used to boat rides however- crossed the equator in 1974 on the uss long beach and spent 90day and 67 day line periods at yankee station and norstar. hence the moniker, shellback. thanks for reading.
