I'm planning to go out again Thursday, and I'm sure lack of wind won't be a problem then...

I was up near county line yesterday around 3pm, and it was snortin' windy.
Felt like upwelling winds for sure. The water temp was frikkin cold.
pronounced "Pie-see-in"

    That's scary stuff - now I need to charge up my light saber along with my SS,FF, GPS, radio, and burner cell phone. No wonder I don't get out enough.
   I've been looking at a Thursday go-out too, and woke up this morning, a mile from the water, with a thick stratus layer, and couldn't decide just how thick, so I drove down to the harbor to look at 7:30.  It wasn't pea soup, but it was down on the deck.  No wind, and only a little ruffle of surf.   I still think it's worth a try.

In case you (or anyone else) go(es) out tomorrow, I stopped by the harbor at 11:00am today, and a kayaker (non-NCKA by appearances) was coming in thru the fog. So, I walked down the F dock to see if he had an intel. He held up a garbage bag with a 35" halibut and a couple of RF. He said he'd caught another 23" halibut (released) and 30 or 40 rockfish. Said the big 'but was in 80 fow straight out past the mile buoy, and he caught it on a swimbait/jig, not bait.

Definitely worth a try tomorrow...
Are you pondering what I’m pondering?

I'm locked and loaded!  Good intel - thanks.  80's is a ways out - I'll have to keep the groan off buoy at my back in the fog.  Probably better to load a new waypoint. 
Not good news for you, but the wind never got cranking a mile up from the water this afternoon like it has for several weeks.

I didn't make it out -something came up, but conditions this morning (Thurs) look better than yesterday's -as it often does the second day of an foggy stretch, it lifted off the deck, and I don't see any wind at the moment.  Hope it went well for those who went and I look forward to reports.
