Today Rich (Holland) and I got up at 4:45 am with high hopes of snapping Lings and over size Halibut but instead the weather showed us who was boss. We ventured out to the cape with our good friend Mac to the 21 mph winds and 7 to 10 foot swells which made it very difficult to fish, literally impossible. We started around the cape towards Shelcup Island and had boat troubles that slowed us down considerably. After several hours at 8 knots in less than perfect conditions we were picked up by a second boat who was skippered by our friend Levi.
We went back into the passages to avoid any weather and ended up catching a lot of Black rock fish on the B-197 and 7020 rods with small Bass Pro Shop jigs. We also ended up with a keeper Ling Cod that squeaked in under the 35" limit.
Hopefully tomorrow will bring better conditions and get us into some big lings and some keeper Halibut for the Box. Talking with Mac the salmon fishing has been fair but right now I don't think there are enough people fishing them to know. I will keep you informed of what lies in our future.
Till tomorrow.
Ben
