The weather is starting to build again but we got today in before the ocean got too bad. We started off on the salmon and the bite was steady. All the right sign was there but the fish hadn’t shown up on it in force yet. We boxed 4 nice kings before my group mentioned that they’d really rather go for bottom fish. The first rock we stopped on bit well with wide open jumbo blacks and some huge reds. From there we bounced our way up the reef finding some lings and scattered rockfish. We ended on one of my favorite rocks with another flurry of wide open blacks. As whole, the reef wasn’t biting to it’s fill potential today but we put together a great box of fish. And on a side note, the salmon did show up to the party in force after we left as I thought they would. All the boats that didn’t do bottom fish ended up with fast limits once they snapped. It doesn’t look like this bad weather is going to last long so we’ll be back on the water Tuesday.
