PS The Harbour pratrol boat was out last night. He was blocking everyone from going past the light to the east. He was enforcing the boundry.

fished Sandheads, boated a 14lb red at about 9am but too windy to stick around. took cover in the river for some backtrolling but nothing else. hopfully the wind dies down.
chovy at 60ft.

At sandheads right now. Winds have died somewhat. Having a hard time keeping the shakers off the line

Was out at the Cap both this morning and yesterday morning. Had a couple just under sized jacks and two good hits yesterday but nothing to take home. Today was much, much better ... three springs, the largest at 16 lbs, and one very large hatchery coho between 630 am and 9am and then called it a day. My much better half was on the wheel today which allowed me to focus on keeping the anchovies right on bottom ... between that and lot of luck, it made all the difference in the world today

[Blackmax]

I'm going to give it a shot in the morning but I guess I will not make the rising tide. Where would be my best bet for a dropping tide?

 

[cannibal chris]
