Dana 12-15-12
 

Hit Dana this morning from about 6 til noon. Big tide swing today that had me hopeful, but I couldn’t ever find my target fish. Current was ripping south, which made fishing the deeper structure & kelp very difficult. About 9 am someone flipped the switch and turned on the wind. There was a washing machine mixed swell, which also added to the fun. I stuck out the deeper stuff til 10, then threw in the towel & went to Doho for a break from the weather. Doho was off color & dirty from the recent rain and I didn’t have much luck there.

I did get a few bycatch fish for my effort, all released.

That's a nice looking lingcod!

The water definitely looks unhappy with itself

Great report and nice variety of fish. Its good you made it back safe its scary on the yak in thr swell. Were you on your adventure?

Why are you not lipping the lingcod SteveO?
Any day fishing is a good day.

you looked pretty far from the headlands. How deep?

No skunk at least. And you got out.

Ya, I was on my Adventure.

Lol, I did try. The blood on my thumb is mine, not the fishes.

I didn't get too far north of the point. Most of the day I was in 40-75 feet.

Other than the wind, it was a nice day. Had the same luck as Steve but I did bring a handful of these up to the boat. All released safely

This photo shows just how dirty the water was in the shallows
