Went down to bean, just too cold and blustery for me, didnt want to battle the wind... so on my way back, this looked like glass. Had a few big take-downs that got off. TONS of bait n birds. Guy in a pb landed a big flattie.

hmm.. that spot looks sort of familiar!  :smt044

if you had headed a little further south, it was calm past pigeon point.

that ugly ocean was all short period windswell. smooth south of pigeon today.

you could have gone to xj-19!! which will be open after oct 1.

I surfed 'county line', between aNo and wadell, hidden by the kelp from the landlord.

we drove past BH and saw cafecraig's car there on the way down and the way back,
boy was fishing hard!

glad you found some taco fixins Ben!   Missed you out there today man.  Mahalo for the radio call!   I really hope the salmon heats up one more time before the end of the year.  Lookin doubtful tho.   Hope to see ya out there again, somewhere!  J is right, fishin hard, hardly catchin, least it made up for yesterday's hiccups.  I will be trying south of PP - need more fish for the winter!

Now, is that 714 # indicative of the Rohr Quaalude, or of Joe Friday's badge #.

Great pix, looks like a very fun day!

Dude!...that is quite the metal you got there!  Great pics too.  Can you PM me ALL of the SECRETS you hoding back from us?
I tried to fish from the shore there once, and got snagged every cast...ROCKS maybe?
was the current present or did you hit the top of it?

Nice plan B!  Looks like you pulled them out right out between the pier and the bridge.  How far out did you go?  I'm also curious about what the tide/currents when you were out there...

Ditto that.  I guess you better hit it pretty slack or its "hello farallons!"

Its one of the biggest volume of tides in the world right there for sure, almost 300 fd, but there's also a huge protected area, with structure and flats from 15 to 100 fd. You can do a mile long drift on it.
We did a big hookup last year, a dozen yaks or something and someone nailed a 16 lb ling.
Not much of a view though...

Lots of tourists. And I went out less than a mile. A group of sea-kayakers went to PT Bonito and back no sweat.

Planning ahead, these days look pretty good tide-wise.  Of course, the Rockies would be off limits!   :smt013
