Thanks for the great tips on this thread guys! We're headed back to China Creek for Tues/Wed and will be sure to try some of them out.
Here is link to the test fishery seine boat.

They upload the results from each pull via satilite directly from the boat.
Now if only we had a lap top onboard the 'Dr Hook'. Ummm...

The games on for sure.
Hooked up to 7 and netted 5 yesterday.
All were decent size. I too, was keeping an eye on the speed. Seems to me that I am trolling a bit faster this year (1.7) compared to last.
Same gear, same spots,and great weather.
Same as last year, you have to be on the water first light as most of the fish are boated before 7:00.

Paul Ya we were late yesterday for sure As it was alive At 7.00 but die off right away after we started ~~~ and the speed 1.6 - 1.8 was against the tide . Talked to a buddy this am who was out there 6 - 8 and had 2 for 5 with even less boats than the last two days????~~~~Bigger schools seen today also he said !!!!
