if this forecast holds, Friday April29 looks like a go day for me out of Sunset Bay, hopefully find some big lingcod to play with near Simpson Reef.

'soft' high tide at 12:30pm, light winds and sunny...

launching about 7:30am Friday at Sunset Bay as planned.

decided to get my legs warmed up today at the submerged jetty, nine crabs and a beauty of a teal lingcod, just under 30", that tried several times to get back into the submerged rocks after I hooked him drifting across the top.



I'm having a good laugh at this guy, back home and on his way to the 'wet sauna', he picked a fight with a measuring stick, "I want a do-over!"

Nice work Roger! I saw there was a lil window of opportunity of here this morning too, but I had to work.

I dig the Blue x2  .

Good job, roger.  It eventually rained yesterday, so you beat that, too.

no rain at Sunset Bay Friday was the best, then rained all night here which had me consider sleeping in. 

nah, I was on the beach in the dark, now it's time to cook my famous (in my family) "Berkeley Cioppino"...and take a nap after a cold IPA...
