--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well not much of a report went 3/3 this A.M. Set lines at 6:00 am in 60 fow found a little temp break around 65-68 fow of water just south of piers. All kings 8-10lbs. Rigger set at 45 with S/D and blue bubble fly. Then dipsey 100 back on 2 with mag lemon ice and last fish on 1/2 core with mag mix veggies.

Had a greenhorn on the boat this morning and he was blowing chunks by 7 am. So I felt sorry for him and pulled lines and hit the docks by 7:30 am

On a side note my kids got me a new forschner knife for my birthday. All I can say is I dont why I never spent the money sooner. What a difference a great knife can be.

Keep that chummer onboard. It may draw the fish in.

Seriously, it's no fun for anyone when someone is sick.

Me, Dan, his son, and Keith went out about 4:30. Best luck around 80 fow.Went 4-12:angry2:. Could not get anything to stay on the line. 8 color was hot rod also. Waves were a little bigger than the 1foot or less predicted. Surprising! Had good time and got a sunburn. Jarod
