I fished the 8 - 2 shift. Launched at BigRock, looong, upcurrent peddle all the way to the canyon, to try to make some bait to start out. Saw the crew leaving .... quickly got windy and very bumpy outside and I decided to head out anyway. No problem. Got a load of macks from Jim on his way in, and trolled outside then south to my bottom spots off Bird Rock in 105 -130 feet. No bites even with the lively mackerel.

Even the bass seemed to be schooled tightly inside heavy kelp on the way in, hiding ... hmmm ... there has been a huge number of dolphins lately!!
