Three boats out this morning on an ocean the boat operators dream about.  The ocean was beautiful with sunshine, no wind and an almost flat ocean.  Pretty darn near perfect conditions for folks to go out on a fishing trip.

The boats fishing the inside more shallow water reefs both had good trips this morning with near limits on the rockfish but just a few lingcod biting the hooks this morning.  The deeper water boats choosing to fish outside found more Lingcod this morning and a good catch of the rockfish as well.  Only one boat reported in on the crabbing but one vessel dropping pots in the shallow water diid not find many in the pots.  The crabbing has been off and on the past week or so as we wait for the better crabbing to come to the shallow water spots.
