Went out today on my PB and caught 3 nice size logs anchored up with at least 17 moo-moos and at least that many pb's. Wasn't wide open, but a decent pick w/boils every once in a while, a ton of bait, and LOTS of birds. Got a nice mix of dines and chovies at the bait barge.
We caught all ours on dines at anchor with the rods in the holders. Good success on the circle hooked fish. Biggest barrie was around 7lbs. Caught them only WITHOUT steel leaders and didn't loose one fish. Steel leaders did not get bit. Caught them all on on 10lb test.

After 1:30, we came back into Alamitos Bay and drifted sardines across the main channel. Had lots of short bites on dines, so switched to choves and within 2 minutes hooked a flatty at 19". Tossed it back and that was it except for lots of short bites. In retrospect, maybe I should have tried a 2" grub to see what was smackin our baits.
Water was sloppier than I would have expected, but not bad. Wind was never an issue. Clouds burned off at 1:30.
TIP!- For those launching out of Davies, it's about 6-7 miles to the shoe. You cut off over half by running the inside of the wall until Angel's Gate, then cutting over to the Shoe for only 2.something more miles.
Good luck out there kids!
