Shelter Cove reports lately

There haven't been many of them - it's been blown out for most of the last week.  Boats got out today and there were no salmon around.  Apparently 7 'buts were caught near the Cove last Tuesday, and that's unusual. 

I wanted to post this to help you guys keep a realistic perspective - it was apparently hard to even catch a rockfish today!  The bite at the Cove goes hot and cold for all species.  The grade of fish is nice, and the access is wonderful when the wind's not sending you to Bragg or Gorda, but be careful about perpetuating a fantasy in your head that just getting there will result in good fishing, or even getting on the water!  Believe me, I've been guilty of having that fantasy all too many times!   

Anyway, just wanted to throw that out there for your consumption.  Oh yeah, and I'm headed down tomorrow to actually finish that job I've had going down there.  I hope to get OTW around lunch, and I told my wife that if the fishing is right I might not get home until 11PM.   

I love the long days of the year.   

Hope the wx is decent and you score. Looking forward to the report. 
Told the guy at my local tackle shop about Darius & Terry's butts today and watched that jaw drop. 

Good luck with the weather and fishing there tomorrow Eric.  Looking forward to read your report.

Flat seas, calm winds and tight lines Bro!

Good Luck,
We'll be waiting for the report.

See Ya Soon,
