Timber cove lingcod trip

anyone down to hit timber cove tomorrow (4/17/2018) for some lingcod? First time taking my hobie in the ocean and im looking for company lol!

You may have picked a less than optimal day for a first ocean trip. 

I went out just north of there on the opener with similar conditions, and it was pretty bumpy.  The wind was strong enough that there were little whitecap wind waves everywhere, on top of the swell.  The breaks on the rocks were sketchy too, launching sprays 25+ft in the air at some points.  I thought the people shore fishing were nuts, they probably thought the same about me for going out.  Definitely a heads-up day.  I only stayed out for an hour or so, didn't catch anything, and wished I had just waited until it settled down another day.  The water was all churned up with limited viz. 


I'd say be careful, and don't forget the safety gear if you do go.

I know you want to get some lings (good GAWD i want to as well) but wait for a more calm day, man. You want a *good* experience your first time out!

Come out on Wednesday instead. There's a good group of us headed out then and the conditions look a lot better.

I have to agree with everyone. Pick a better day, also, there are groups going Wednesday. You should have some safety company.

Great advise guys! Listen to this guys....my first trip to TC I went overboard because i was leaning to far to net my vermillion but Thank GOD Raydon was there and he was very helpful..lol. where is Raydon anyway?

Thank you guys so much for the heads up! I didn’t go. I would’ve been in bad spot if it weren’t for the advise. Im going tomorrow (Wednesday) 😃 ! Hopefully the weather calms down. The forcast says 4 mph winds with 3 ft swells.. i pray it stays that way..

Where are you seeing 3 foot swells? I’m seeing 4-6 @11 sec with an opposite 2ft wind generated waves from NOAA.
