Fished the bell - no lie - we got a double header and landed 2 nice ones ~70cm just west of the bell in 120feet right on the bottom.

What was your timing like? I'm heading out tomorrow but thinking about trying something else.

Damn. We fished just west of the bell in 130 to 150ft of water. Should have been over your way. We had on line right on the bottom the other suspended following the bait. We fished from 11 am till 2 pm.

It's winter, the bite can come on randomly and for a short period of time. I think people are forgetting that a skunk is a great day of winter fishing in a normal year. It wasn't uncommon to have 1 bite, 1 fish in a full shift. We've been spoiled lately.

In December we were having near limit fishing in 90 ‘ - 100’ fow, everyone else out deeper but all our fish came in tight behind the bell towards the markers

Went out today by the bell. Windier than was forecast. Didn’t see many nets around us at all. Last few times out was pretty decent. Today- NADA. That’s the way it goes. Hope some boats found some!! Maybe time to move spots….

Tried falls for a couple hours not much bait nor action. Saw a guide boat hook up and a guy said he had one that didn’t stick. Maybe 4-5 boats there .
Then Did a lap at tunstal and got a double header . Kept one for dinner .

well thought i was going to get skunked today but just heading into the afternoon tide got into a nice hatch 71cm so hung out for another hour and got rewarded with a nice scrappy 84cm .. must remember don't tie 7' leaders and fish flashers with spoons solo nightmare to land with a short landing net .....lol

It was like September traffic out around the Bell and in and amongst the freighters! Easily 50++ boats out there.
We had one of the best days I have had fishing for winters as far as action goes. Had a few long line releases, a few unders, bonked a 66 cm and also the biggest winter I have ever caught at 16 lbs. All action for us was inside the bell and in line with the mile markers but further out in the bay. 133' and 122' on the riggers in about 140' of water with a green splatterback behind a black glow tape flasher had the bulk of the action. Marking LOTS of large bait balls and lots of bird activity hitting bait on the surface.
