Just needing get out on the water more, than I had in the last couple month. Magic Seaweed had surf and wind forecast on some days that said 3'-5' and wind 10-17 mph, but looking at the beach cams showed almost normal to small surf. When I got there in was very small and almost like a lake by first light and by 6:35 the surf had upped to 2'-4' and wind 4-7 mph, Not unusual, but these were shore pounders, so they would wall up and crash right were you're staging in thigh deep water and waiting for the break to jump on and get through the surf zone. Had to jump up with my arms on the Solo Skiff to let the wave pass, without taking one as high as my face. I prefer not getting wet before even getting out. To be fair to Magic Seaweed the wave over by the pier and in font of the Cove were large and very impressive. Caught some macs, drifted and trolled live bait, but no hits. Caught a couple rock fish while making macs in deep water and descended then both. Saw some whales and a couple Humpback breaching, that's always a great to see. The fishing as everyone knows, has been slow. Guess what all the videos I see lately show the same elsewhere, colder weather and all the other reasons one can come up with. In the end getting out there on the water SHOULD be more than catching fish. Being out, off the couch and enjoying nature, SHOULD be the best reason. Tight Lines!
