Was out as well and got a 30# halibut just shy of the board, ended up 5 miles east of the spit and it was a real bugger getting back to the boat launch through that rough assed Crap ! Made it back battered but not defeated ! Hit er again tomorrow !

Good luck tomorrow boys. I was sitting up here looking out at ya. Thinking man I wish I was out there fishing but, man I'm glad I'm not out in that crap. Looks like the weather will be nice for you. Post some pictures of the fish your getting would ya. If you couldn't tell I couldn't talk anyone in to going.  :bash:
It's not the size of the trophy that make's it a trophy.

It was a DOG FISH DAY :bash: No butt's on our boat. I heard one in the 80's took first. The dog fish were so bad we had two come up, one on each hook.  :bash:

Yeah, nothing on the board for us, I was reeling up a halibut that would have been on the board for sure but my buddy had a doggie on and it got wrapped around my line and eventually just broke my line, he felt really bad but whatever that's my luck !
I did catch one 25# for the bbq so alls well that ends well and we had fun, oh I caught a skate as well POS !  :bash:

We started at Coyote Bank, Lost my gear w/200 ft of line. Then lost another 200 ft, using 48 oz's. Had to realty watch your pole and just touch the bottom w/pole in hand out there. We moved in between there and 31-36, then finished at the 31-36. Dog fish the whole way.  :bash: Fun times.

I call that 31-36 bank the Bermuda triangle, since nothing nice ever happens to me out there in fact everything bad happens so I avoid that place like the plague !
