SWN in the Rain 28June2011

Took advantage of my window of opportunity to go fishing. Wx looked promising. OTW at 7:30am off at 10 am fished large plastics for 3 shaker and 1 keeper (27") ling. Switched over to small plastics with single barbless to fill out a limit and have fun with catch and release. Water conditions: 10-15 ' vis w/ a strong current and wind building from 5 mph at arrival to 15mph and just starting to cap. Really fast drift made for a lot of work resetting the drift. The kelp was there but you could not see it on the surface because it was being pulled under by current. Rain the whole time put a kibosh on my shore lunch.

Its like what they say about how the pet and their owners look alike, I think that goes with fisherman and their catches also... LOL   NICE CATCH!!!

There is a strong resemblance.....just his eyes are a little closer together than mine.

I'm confused which one is supposed to be the fish?
Nice keeper

One is a Ling and the other is just an all wet "sucker". So we are both fishy.

Let the puppet show begin! 

Thanks for the report and congrats on the ling. Sounds like the bite was pretty good. jim

WTG on the ling Lee.

I'll be up that way this weekend   

Good luck on your trip.... I was a little surprised how many folks were there on a Tuesday, in the rain. 3 other kayaks, a small inflatable, a 25' boat, 2-3 divers, a couple of shore fisherman. I have been going there mid week for many years and rarely see anyone else.

Nice fish Lee! sorry i couldnt make it but works in full swing now. Glad to see you joined the group!

Hi Wes, Glad you got a hold of me, saw your Dad & Sister on the 4th. I'll keep you in the loop when I'm headed out next on the chance that you can make it. Packing up right now for a little night catfishing from shore. A comfy 90 outside at 8pm. Let me know if you are headed out.
