That's fine. 4,5,6,7 inch swim baits will work. You'll probably catch most of everything you get on live bait(sardine's). If the yellowtails and barracuda are boiling(near the surface), small to medium irons and spoons will work great: (blue/chrome....blue/white....green/chrome.....blue or green or white irons with mackerel pattern.....surface or medium diving crank baits like Rapalas....jig headed plastics, etc.)

cst · 07-07-2004, 11:56 AM

i want to try the yozuri cranks, and maybe their squid and their poppers too

Actually, no don't do that!!! Just Kiddin', the Yozuri's are absolutely and excellent chioce, I think they'll work really well, that's a good bait.

cst · 07-07-2004, 12:22 PM

yeah they have some real good quality lures, havent used a yozuri lure that i didnt like, though on one type of pins minnow the silver hooks bent really easily but thats easily fixable.

and jon sells the hydro magnums at a pretty good price.

Wahoo! · 07-07-2004, 03:55 PM

Yeah, the hydro magnums are good. I'd also want to try the hydro squirts. I've heard that they work really well.

Also, I just added the charter tickets to the tackle shop so you guys can start paying online. We have to charge $6.22 over the regular price if you want to pay by credit card or $2.61 over the regular price if you want to pay by PayPal. This is what it costs us to take the payments online. Sorry for any inconvenience. Of course, you can always pay me with cash and not have to worry about the online surcharge.

I set up different prices depending on your payment method. Here are the links:

No problem. Let me know when you want to fish and we'll meet up sometime soon.

Zepp · 07-07-2004, 11:38 PM

dam this is getting a little spendy! i only make 10 bucks an hour...

ill try and make it still, but were looking at a lot of money for this..

FishSlayer · 07-08-2004, 01:15 AM

DONE! I allready bought my ticket...I am thinking if getting a hotel for Friday and Saturday night, anybody wana split the cost? Also it would be cool to get tickets for Lake Barret or try another SD area lake on Sunday. Maybe fish the harbor? I found a hotel on hotels.com near Seaworld for $80.00 bucks a night, thats close to the marina and just a taxi ride from "Old Town"...

jstcrzyengh · 07-08-2004, 10:32 AM

Which hotel? Also a barrett ticket would be excellent.

FishSlayer · 07-08-2004, 02:46 PM

I dont remember the name of the hotel but its one of the cheaper ones if you run a search on hotels.com, its near sea world and the zoo and is about half way between the marina and "Old Town".

Hey rreck, I received your payment and you're good to go! Good ideas with the hotel and Barret. I might have to be driving one of the vans, but if not, I would be interested in fishing sunday as well. We'll talk about it as I get more info.
