7-5-15 Like most everyone we make our plans with the best information available to us. With a wind forecast of just 5 knots (nearshore AND offshore) and a good Halibut bite going on we headed out to where some friends have caught Halibut the last couple of days. We made it about halfway when we began to see whitecaps and hear reports of sloppy conditions. No problem, it must just be a localized weather issue so let's head to another location where we used to get lots of flatfish. We were almost there when more whitecaps and a brief conversation with a commercial boat made it clear that we would not get away from the wind today. As I type this the forecast still calls for 5 knots and it is blowing 19 at the buoy. So we made the best of a less than perfect situation and fished inshore for rockfish and Ling Cod. We had limits of Blacks, some misc. fish and were just shy of Ling limits when it was time to head home.
