Shelter Cove - 6/14/21

After postponing a trip Sunday the 13th due to south wind, I couldn't pass up yesterday's after-the-storm forecast.  Slept in and got down there after 11AM to find dense fog but a nice ocean.  Sonar took a dump on me - good timing that it didn't happen on a guide day.  I executed my plan of staying nearshore and prospecting for Californians - not many being caught down there yet, and Humboldt Bay is also slow to show for the flatties.  Managed to scratch one out - barely legal.  Fog lifted a bit by the time I was working the Tailgate Fillet Station.

Commercial guys have seen a couple of GWS within 3 to 5 miles of the launch lately...

Busy weeks coming up - looking forward to it!   

...

love the view from the filet station!

heck yeah

Nice fillet skills!  Thanks for the report and pictures Eric.

I will phone it in next time. 

Getting pumped to head up next month-if the stars align I'll be inquiring to book a date with you-hope that works out!

What does a fishing guide on on his day off? Go fishing of course.
Love the pictures Eric. Hope to make it to the cove next weekend.
It has been too long.

Sounds good - weekdays are best.  Hit me up when you know your dates.

It felt kinda weird to eat my Cheerios midday.   

love the view from the filet station!

Me too.
