Dr. Dave and I got together at the parking lot around 6:45 AM.  He arrived early and had already gotten ready.  Since my wife joined today, it took extra time to set it up.

We headed to the nearest spot first, and David and I got vermilions.  After that, we went to deep water pinacles.  David got a large cabazon from  100 feet to the water.  I was surprised, I thought they are typically shallower water around 50'.  He also got a big ling.  I got a big vermilion.  We headed south to the point, and I got a good-sized ling.  My wife was catching all the China rockfish today; she got 7 of them.

Great day for two retired fishermen.

No, I am waiting for the nearshore season is close.  We might have to wait until next year if the emergency regulation is approved.
You might want to post that information on the NCKA website.
