Hey there TubeDude,
Sorry to hear about all the bad stuff. Just be grateful, as I'm sure you are, that you've got a partner to share the weight.
After that week, nobody's gonna complain .... except me! The rain and storms have kept us tubers, here in sunny Southern California pretty well holed up and waiting for the water to clear and warm, and the wind to stop. April was a terrible month for saltwater tubers in the Los Angeles area. And now we're getting hammered in May too.
Bright note is that if you brave the 'brown mackerel' encountered near where many rivers that flow into the ocean, you can catch all the short halibut you want.
Oh ya, the murky water doesn't stop the small bass in the marinas from devouring TubeDudes roadrunners or jigs tipped with a little squid strip.
