Out of Davis about 6:30. First time I have had the boat in Long Beach in about a year. Was surprised to see the entry gate is now credit or debit only, no cash. Anyway, a $40 half scoop of dines from Nacho, then drifted the beach for halibut. No love. One large Sting Ray (fun) and one racked bait for five hours. Wind came up by noon and we were off the water by 1PM. It was nice to see free to use fresh water spigots at the ramp. Next time I will bring a hose.

As an aside, it was fun to BS with Nacho about the days when three bait boats waited at the end of the jetties. Turns out he worked the center boat. A scoop was $2.00.
