Thanks for all the comments, I went out Sunady morning at about 6 am off of Alki, we went to Allen Bank, just southeast of Blake island. We trolled and mooched for a while (6hrs) caught and released a couple of shakers. It started with a beautifull sunrise and ended with a pretty nasty fog on the way back. I used my rod with his Calcutta 250. Its really smooth. My rod is too light for a 4 oz banana weight, but its sensetivity for bites is amazing when the baits on its way down (with 3 oz or lighter weights). Washing and oiling the reel afterwards was a pain, I might just have to get two reels.
