I went out of PC today.  Fish were all just average size.  None got their picture taken.

The midday surf was a bit bigger than I had seen predicted.  Luckily it had short calm periods between sets that I was able to sneak back in
Being retired, they pay me when I go fishing, therefore I am kind of a professional fisherman.

Went out of Depoe.  Nice class of rockfish, 18", lots of small lings,  lots of big swells.  My head is still going up and down.  Wind picked up in the Pm and made for a slow, wet ride back into the harbor.

Sounds like a guy who is hyper-focused on AOTY... I mean when you're current average is 224pts per fish you must have high standards!  ;D

I was at PC Friday. Hit the water about 8 am. Surf a bit bigger than I expected and got nailed right in the face getting past the breakers - now I'm awake. Slow paddle out to the buoy, 4-6 other kayaks on the water. Very slow start 8-10 am, small canary rockfish, baby ling, another ling foul hooked behind the pectoral fin - just under 22 in. Getting pretty discouraged and the ocean is getting more chaotic with multiple swells and refraction off the rock. Nothing in the fish bag except a lonely sea bass. About 11 o'clock and I mentally call it quits, hit the reel a turn, and bam - finally something substantial. Probably a cabezon I tell myself, and yes indeed - cabezon. But hope is renewed and I switch out my lure for the 4th time - 4 oz lead head with white forked-tail swim bait. In 5 minutes I have another big hit - this time a 32 inch ling. Saved my fishing day and made it all worth it. Had some anxiety about paddling back in. Jumped out of the kayak with a breaker behind me in chest deep water, grabbed the back of the kayak and got nice and wet but everything stayed upright - my go to re-entry technique but preferably in shallower water.

Thanks for the reports - it's good to know how it went for those of us who couldn't make it.
