Trinidad, Eureka, Shelter Cove 07/14/13 to to 07/15/13

Good and Bad News! I am thrilled I have some time in the next few days to fish . I was hoping for a good window to fish this weekend on the north coast and into the start of next week. Mitch actually has the same days available as me. I am doing some last minutes prep and had to pull up the forecast. The question of the day, especially for the Humboldt folks, is this worth coming over for or do you think this is going to be a mess? I am heading off to teach a class today and now I am wondering if I should make lodging arrangements.

The forecast isn't inspiring me.  Good luck out there.   

Jbaker and I spent all day out there today. I caught 3 keeper size lings  and 5 blacks. The water wasn't too bad a little sloppy at times but totally doable.

Hey Dave we waived at you on hw 299 on our way back. It's was a little bumpy but nice today. No wind to speak of. Wind Started turning on at 3:30.

Thanks guys, Mitch and I just landed in Arcata and planing going out in the morning in Trinidad. Jeff, I am surprised you did not target the salmon.? Glad you got some for dinner😄
