Wow, looks nice out there...

Thats outside Chris, keep your eyes on the buoys with Dial-a-Buoy, If it stays from the NW the backside should be OK, if your close(probably no chance to get to Rosa). BUT always respect the forecast, no sense getting hurt for the matter of a few fish! Also check out the swell models from Scripps, they are a pretty good indicator. Good Luck, I hope you get a chance to get out, and by all means stay safe!

Uh, is there another place to fish other than the outside? 35 knots, 11-13 foot seas building 12-15? I'll be checking the tri-tip on the BBQ, not dial a bouy.

Hey Chris , You know its always nice when your working mon-fri and turns to CRAP for the weekend! Thats a given around here, and its still pretty dead unless you like rockfish

Well not sure it will make you feel any better but I was going to take Skunkmaster out this weekend for the first day of his vacation. Then the water churns up and I find out I am going to have to have surgery on my foot now. Seems like poor skunk gets the worse end of the deal no matter what. I so want to put him on his first halibut!!!!

squibblips · 04-17-2008, 01:50 PM

So is there any word on in shore halibut???? That would be something we could get in the (Sat) morning before the wind kicks up (I think) FULL moon might bring bait to the beach (or grunion???) Just a thought as last weekend when we had the outstanding weather, I was home entertaining out of town inlaws and going to "plays"....so I do feel your pain.

Phishy, don't worry, if it'll make you feel better, we can have a sleep over and it'll feel like your first overnighter....
