Dang it!
As for those lock jaw dorado, try chunking the sardines and throw out a few handfuls along with some flylined chunks. I've caught dorado like this on private boats 3 times. Yellowfin as well.
Going next weekend and hoping this paddy fishing holds up. I need some fish in the freezer. Preferably yellowtail and maybe we'll find some yellowfin that want to bite. Bluefin can come on one of our last 2 charters.
Think these Dorado are hungry? I like the one in the middle of the bait!

Got a fish story for ya!
Set out with one of my boat partners and another friend out of Dana Point. Busy for a Friday. Got a scoop & ice and we were off. Headed to the East end of the island. Decided to troll about half way there while looking for paddy's and maybe get lucky on a blind strike. Got a daisy chain and a MadScad in tow.
Lots of radio traffic on 72, entertaining, not a lot of spots producing, should have been out Wednesday.
Fast forward to noon, haven't seen a damn thing all day, we finally spot a small paddy with jumping Doroado (5-7lbs) make a pass for nada, pull in the trollers and make a couple drifts by the paddy, we are the only boat. Dodo's move off but come back a few times, we are fly lining deans and my boat partner Brian gets picked up.
Line goes tight and its on, but this is no 5-7lb dodo, he's on a 20lb rod n reel, Torium 20, braid with 100yd mono
He's getting down to the bottom of the spool and I start the boat and now we are chasing the fish. This goes on for the next 3 hours! BFT are a$$holes! Brian get's on the bow and that made things easier. He got the tuna 15' from the boat a half a dozen times but it would just peel off the mono again. Buddy is in the tower and can see the fish, est 36'' long. We tried everything we could think of, chased him, let him just pull, tried to run him down! He was tail wrapped for a bit, could feel it and see it once when he was close to the boat.
Brian kept inching the drag just a bit tighter but we couldn't break the damn fish.
Brian is pulling as he had been and suddenly he rocks back and the line goes limp! Pulled the hook!!!
1/0 hook is still tied on the line, great knot, just wore a hole in his face and shook at the right time and he was gone.
This would have been the first BFT on our boat.
Win some lose some.
Pretty bumpy ride back in licking our wounds!Dam invasive scum sucking fish!

It is a #2 cyl from a 360 stc conversion 172. I hate these ones because they extend all 4 risers evenly making each one a “custom application” which takes more time in temp fixturing and drives up cost. Best method is to use r/s model risers (only cyl’s 2&4 required)
alert to pilot was he could only get 200fpm climb at 7am 70* weather at 800’ elevation 😬
You need one of these
That won't fit on my 172 O-360 conversion?
Got a pic of one on a bird?
I only get a few years out of mine.
Is it noisy?

People and their planes 🙄
not only a giant hole in a riser blowing flames and hot gases into a confined space, it also is clearly burning alot of oil....this doesn't happen “all of a sudden”
I have gone thru a few of those!

Supposedly he died a few days ago. Then they said he was still alive. So is he dead again?

Dude, DV is the man. I thought i hated him. Turns out i love the guy. Most honest guest ive heard.
At one point they are talking about French riders and the MXoN. Whos going to ride for America. Steve takes a jab at DV calling him a Frenchie. DV say nope, im an American going on 1 year. He was proud to call himself an American and pretty much told the host screw you dont call me anti American. I thought it happened at 1:17 but its not there. The whole interview is great.
Ferrandis did something similar last year. He won a race. Might have been Redbud. Getting interviewed on the podium and you can hear the crowd booing big time!! Ferrandis says he lives here now and he loves America. Since then i looked at him different too.
I'm about 3 1/2 hours into this. DV is pretty funny! Great show so far.

The GF and I liked it. I tried to watch Peaky Blinders 3 different times just never hit the right nerve I guess. To much WTF did they just say.

I use a mosquito net over my bed!
And this year they got inside the net 3 times so far. 
Effen bastards! They usually never bite the wife but now she is getting bit a lot during the day in her office.
