Weather was supposed to be about 20 degrees warmer. Up early, at the boat ramp around 5:20 unload and to the headlands by 6:20. What an incredible sun-rise.
On my way out, for the first time, I had an encounter with a whale. Stealthy creatures. Heard the blow of water/air and caught the glimpse of the back half of the whale dive down. What's so amazing was how close to the outside harbor jetty it was.
There was a lot of sea-life. Seals were out in force. The birds were all sitting/floating around. Schools of bait swimming through, but my bait tank was not pumping so I didn't try too hard to make the bait.
Had the squid so I was fine. Worked a specific area I saw bait swim in and out of and this is what wanted to play. . .
