SC 8/13 — glassy, skunky, sharky…

Glassy conditions, but swell/moon/cool water seems to have killed the bite. Not quite a skunk so far, but just 2 puny olive rockfish.

The excitement so far was a shark drive by in about 110 fow outside of Mitchell’s Cove. A fin just leisurely strolled across my path about 15’ in front of me. Might’ve gotten just a brief snippet of video—will see when (if?) I get home…

Got a keeper sized ling and a few modest RF. Relased them and slowly working my way back to the harbor. Thankfully, Sharky has not returned—at least not that I know of…

Thanks for the update NWM. Can’t wait to hear the rest of your report. Stay safe.

As somebody who swims that zone I would prefer you keep that kind of info to yourself

One of these days I will own an AI, they look like a good way to go

I actually watched the shark fin for about 30 seconds, and for some strange reason "sea lion" was stuck in my brain, and it didn't register as a shark fin, until it was starting to submerge, in front of my AI. Right at the start of this brief video is about the last 2 seconds of the shark fin (don't blink).

The best part of the day was sailing into the harbor...

that was killer! love the speed and the sound of the water, just super!
