Not a breath of wind at the harbor this morning, so down the coast we went. Today we made it to Pigeon and put the lines in the water, but the wind just kept increasing and the water was outrageously cold, somewhere around 47 degrees, too cold for the rockcod to be real interested in chasing after our lures. With this combination, Capt. Bob pulled the plug early and headed back in after only finding a few fish that wanted to come out and play. On an encouraging note, Bob metered several areas in deeper territory which have been closed to fishing the past years that is now open and looks ripe for the picking. Bob prefers to fish shallow, but be prepared to fish some deeper stuff, too, while we're fishing below Pigeon this month, possibly between 120 and 190 feet, as the current regulations permit rockfishing out to areas as deep as 240 feet. This should give us a lot more opportunity to put some fish in the sacks.
