Friday 5/21 Weather sucked

Can I pick a day to fish or what? If you like wind, rain and suicidal halibut, it wasn't a bad morning.

I had the day off to sleep in and get my internal clock geared up for working a weeks worth of 12 hour night shifts starting tonight. So much for getting some rest.

Up at 5 to load the boat and on the water by 6:30. Had 2 in the box before 8am and stuck a third on ice by 10am. By noon the bay is full blow whitecaps and starting to fill with kelp so I packed it in and headed home.

Over the 5 hours I fished, I averaged 4 halibut an hour with 3 being big enough to come home for dinner.

Nice fish Mike, it looks like it was worth every minute of fishing in the bad weather.

Nice going Mike. I tried to go out yesterday and about 1/2 mile out of the breakwater in Long Beach had to turn around due to waves breaking over the house! Went back to the slip where I took a nice three hour nap. Wasn't a complete loss:p
