Just wanted to update you all on the bite in the cove.
Went out with Jake Mitchell of Sea Hawk Sport fishing (www.seahawksportfishing.com) and had the best day you could imagine.
Seas were a little lumpy, but very fishable as we limited out on Ling Cod, Rockfish, Salmon, and Crabs.
Jake proved to be an excellent Captain and Guide as he worked hard to put us on the best fish he could.
If you're ever in the cove and looking for a good boat, Give Jake a call, you wont regret it
;0)

P.S.
Check out the report in the local Paper .... (shameless plug)
