There hasn't been much to report about recently. Fishing has definitely been tough below Pigeon Point, sometimes to the point where we wonder if we should continue or not. There have been few days with limits, the lingcod haven't been real abundant. But all it takes is catching a fish like we did today to remind us that we continue to run trips because you just never know what you're going to get...like the 25 pound halibut that was landed! Add to that 7 more lingcod and 2 cabezon for 9 adults and 2 kids, along with a sprinkling of nice reds and assorted other rockfish, and it definitely was a day worth going fishing. The season officially closes two weeks from today, and we're still scheduled to run Wednesdays through Sundays as long as there are folks willing to give it a go and the weather permits, so there's still time to put your line in the water and see what may bite before we're knocked off the water until next season opens. As far as the seasons, not much was decided on at the meetings Bob attended in San Diego last week, other than to wait until next meeting in March to talk about it more. There is an experimental fishing permit that is going through the approval process that you may have heard about. It was approved by the PFMC to be sent on to the next approval level (National Marine Fisheries), but no need to worry about details until we get the final word.
