Hi Dave... Great video. I am from the East Coast and am retiring in the Newport beach area in a few months and am trying to line up the best boat for your area and style of fishing. To me it was an oxymoron seeing people in videos all dressed up and cold fishing out of Southern California--- does it just get cold early in the morning and then it warms up quickly?. I am considering the weather now with my boat selection and would love to know which one you would suggest. Choice number 1] Lindell 38 pilot house.... Air-conditioned and heated for those longer runs . I thought heat and air-conditioning would be nice.... I'm 64. It also has a great cockpit area for lobster traps and extra room etc. TopSpeed about 50 miles an hour(40 cruise. the choice number 2 ] Nortech 39 super fish.... Plenty of room and set up for fishing and the top speed on this boat is 80+ miles per hour so I could cruise very fast on those longer runs but it is a center console with a good windshield but definitely more open to the elements in the colder weather. Which one would you guys go with.... Any comments from your subscribers would be great as well. Thank you for your help!!

Instead of the rubber band can you just use a regular downrigger clip and clip it onto your line. When you get a bite it will just release the clip like salmon fishing etc ?? Thanks Love the videos man 👍🤙

@@YourSaltwaterGuide I am moving to Southern California in a few weeks looking forward to making some videos and learning from your videos too thanks! Is there an app or website you guys use in California to see what’s open for fishing? Thanks
