Well I got out with a buddy and some friends for a day on the water finally, this spring has been crappy and cold. My friend has a nice 31 Bertram so its warm compared to my little center consul. Day was supposed to be sunny and light winds well we were greeted with fog and 10 to 15 with white caps. Well a little spray never hurt anyone.Left the dock at 7 ran for 45 and lines in.

Well I had one of Jurlometer's 9 inch swim bait I had yet to try so down it went. Hit bottom and put the reel into gear and instantly a nice 18 lb ling. A couple nice rockfish followed shortly. It then slowed down but we picked away and ended up with 7 nice lings 12 to 18 lbs along with some rockfish and released yelloweye.

Off for halibut. It was a bit choppy but fishable so we dropped the anchor, dragged anchor, let out more scope, dragged then held. Wind came down, sun came out and fish started biting. We ended up with our five halibut: 22, 27, 32, 32 and 65 lbs. 2 on bait rods and three on jigs. I got my 27 lber on a 8 oz octo made from one of Jurlometer's mold. I was using my little avet on a light trevally rod so that was sporty.

Time for a beer on a nice sunny ride home. Anchor was up before 1 pm.

Todd, good trip.  The idea of working for a brewery is to sell the beer not swill the beer.  I think you must have misheard.  Dominick :d
Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.

this was all shallow. Lings 200 to 250 and the Haibut fishing was only 100 feet hence why I could use the 8 oz jig. Nice to fish shallow. Deep dropping is to come once we get some small tides.
