Heading out of the harbor this morning there was no wind and not much swell. By the time we reached Pigeon Point about 18 miles south, though, we had found the swell, and then just when the fish started to really bite with the tide change around 10:00 the wind picked up making for tough conditions. We ended the day with a little better than 7 fish a piece with some real nice sized blacks along with a small ling and a cab, not bad considering a couple of gentlemen were down for the count early in the game and given the weather we were dealt. We're off tomorrow and have private charters on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, but we still have room for the Columbus Day holiday on Monday. And thank goodness, last time I peeked at the forecast it looks pretty darn good for Monday, too.
