Report:
Ahoy there one and all!

Spring is in the air (and howling a gale)!! We were blown off the ocean on Saturday. The waves were just right to make for a miserable ride so we turned back after giving it a try! On sunday we fared much better going 20 miles west of the harbor. We had a good size swell but not too much wind close to shore. As we got further off shore it did increaset but conditions were very fishable.

We were lucky and did not have much trouble with the sea lions (darn dragons)! or many problems with alot of shakers. Most everything we hooked ended up in the fish box and tagged by either Zack or Jeff! Around 11:30 the wind started to freshen and things got a bit dicier. We continued to catch fish and by 1 PM we had thirteen limits!!! No really big fish - our biggest was around 16 lbs. The ride home had me working hard at the wheel to hold our course as things were not improving in the weather department!

I just hope that it will lay down by Tuesday for our regulars who are coming out for there monthly Tuesday trip.

Thanks for fishing with the Riptide. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
