With a boatload of folks onboard, a great majority of who were newcomers to ocean fishing, Capt. Bob decided to give the shallows a try. He headed down to below Pigeon Point to start the day. The wind was howling, the water was off color, and the fish wouldn't bite. So he pulled out a little more hair out of the little he has left, picked up the lines and headed back from the direction he started. Heading up the line he got one of his feelings and decided to stop on a spot that just felt right. It was the right spot, as it cranked out fish from the time the first lines hit the water. Those who knew how laid away the fish, with great quality of what we affectionately like to call the Half Moon Bay smorgasbord of rockfish. The lingcod were chomping and 24 were landed, the biggest by Randall Kasdorf who caught his personal best 19 pounder. A good number of cabezon also filled with sacks, and top fish honors, a 21 pound halibut, went to Robert Madga of San Francisco who was on the trip courtesy of his wife's surprise birthday present.
