This was my second time fishing NPS and i couldnt believe how different the 2 days were. The first time out, the water was glass and yesterday was just rough. It was tough even landing in kids beach with high. John, some other kayaker and I pretty muched got tossed back and forth coming in. It was still surprising to see many kayakers out there still. Everyone we talked had ambitions to fish pass the break walls, but everyone ended up back in the harbor.

Octico and I tried twice to make it out to open waters and twice we tucked our tails and returned to the safety of our launch. I am really glad that we did not end up in the drink. We fished the breakwalls both of our time out and in and still could not put a fish on our line. There were many small and short bites, but that was the most of the action we had all day. I had one mac that i was drifting around for the majority of the time, but no halibuts wanted any of it.

The only thing worth reporting was a 12" spottie that produced a great fight on lite line. I have no pictures, but you can take my word for it. lol I got out fish by John - Ocitco, last time and I was glad I had one fish, but no evidence of my catch. haha It is always great hanging out with you, John. Hopefully next time, we can chase that skunk off.
