[1tuber]

Rockfish Rockfish and more Rockfish headed for very crappy conditions windy 15 to 20 kt, friday night. saturday morning at clemente was already bad petty windy about the same as friday night 15 to 20 kt first stop around 6:30 DROPPED for some decent whitefish all day lots of whitefish and reds. at around 10 swells were getting bigger at around 10:00 5 - 6 feet very windy 20 to 25 kt occasional 30 kt pretty bad. But the sun was up and we kept fishing hard. all we caught was rockfish fished a nice kelp bed for nothing hooked a few i think calicos took me in the kelp every time as soon as i switched to a rod that had 50lb braid and a two foot flouro leader we made a move to catch some halibut we got two nice ones one 33in and a 25in. on the way home passing CAT it was really glassy and i wished we could have fished there but had a great time and got some taco meat. Lets see some better reports!!! TUBE DUDE HOPE YOU ENJOY THE REPORT! [:p]

[cool][#0000ff]Love the report. Hate you for reminding me of the good ol' days.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I've had my share of the "bumps" on the water. Tough on the guys with tender tummies. Capistrano fever...return of the swallows. Not good chum.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]At least you got to bend your stick on some sack fillers. Did you get any of the flatties? Bout time for some serious 'buts up at the Channel Islands. Used to hook some bigguns up off Santa Rosa and Santa Cruz.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Too bad you didn't get to stop by the Isthmus Kelp for some calicos. Maybe some whites. Should be a few yellows in there by now too. And off the east end of the island when the weather and currents are right. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Are the squid showing up at the island yet?[/#0000ff]

This year and last year were slow seasons not to much squid last year and the "ghosts" didn't start biting till latee in the year so we will see how this year goes. right now no sign of yellows (water is still to cold) or white seabass "ghosts" they are getting some yellows at the Coronados, some "ghosts" at Santa Cruz and other than that taco meat and calicos. No squid at all right now at San Clemente or Catalina (VERY WIERD)
