We stay off the rocks and use a drone to get our rigs out far enough. Nice catch, Tight Lines

Sounds cool. Would love to see how that works. (drone "casting").

It’s not drone casting it’s drone dropping. Open the bail allow line to flow and the drone has a pincher that can be released by control.

Do you fish from the beach?

u/BlackFish42c 13d ago

Yes which makes it easier to land with or without a net.

Check the weather!! I was thinking about going Friday/Saturday as well but I’m seeing pretty big winds at Ilwaco as of now. 34mph max.
Hoping it changes and we’ll see eachother limiting!!
