ARW - 4/10/2010 - Surfs Up!!!

Sandman and I met Goutless Angler and Shicken around 830AM at ARW. Blowin 15-20 knots with white caps and 2 ft wind waves pushing straight up the ramp. Decided to go to Denny's for breakfast and call it a day. 

Good choice guys.  that's ugly

Hi Yaker:

          Looks like Salmon water too me!
Good call, way to Fugly to go out!
                               Thanks for the Heads up

  ...Dave and i woke early and went to the "getto bait receiver" at 3:30. No bait in the receiver  and just at grey light the fan comes on. We decide to hit the full house cafe for breakfast. B.shadee phones us during the meal. He lives on Alameda Is and says the fan on full. wx said 5-15 w patchy fog  . Back home by 7 and slept till noon. storm arrivin...no fishin for awhile..Hope the CL peeps are havin it better.

Holy cow!

Glad I stayed home to get some long-overdue chores done.

Good call guys.

Much the same over here in Capitola. I walked the yak down at 6am, saw the seas and felt the wind gusts and turned around and went back to bed. My first halibut of the year will just have to wait...

Sincerely,

Jim

hahaha i seen the same thing , arived around 630am with brdopry only to turn around , we didnt go home though , we tried our luck around bay farm island but got skunked.

You guys should have gone to Jim's on Lincoln Avenue for some hefty breakfast after seen those breakers at the ramp. Good call you guys.

yep.  good call

Gnarly is right! I woke up at 6:30 looked out the window and went back to bed based on the way the tree's were blowing around.

Breakfast was a good call!

Plus its always worse looking in person. Good try. Next week.

hey Andy look at it this way bud!! were gettin our skunk days out of the way early

I hit a beautiful, glassy Humboldt Bay this morning and perch fished for an hour or so at high tide.  Had some nibbles and one womp of a bite, but no hookup...     As the tide turned and started going out I headed back up-bay toward my truck.  Got to the end of the open water paddle and decided to drop a line for a last try at a perch.  Wind goes from variable/5 knots to sustained 15 knots+ in about 2 minutes.  Strong SE wind that was forecast to hit here later in the day...  It was hairball.  Weird Spring so far. 

  wow, smart choice!  I was hoping to have the boat at McCovey cove tomorrow but not with this weather prediction!  How was saturday brunch at Denny's? 

Good decision guys!  If you think today weather is bad, wait til tomorrow
