Cold water Wednesday and Thursday, high winds Friday and Saturday and back to warm water on Sunday. We had some very good fishing in front of the piers on Wednesday and Thursday producing up to 25 fish per boat. Sunday, after the blow, we fund the water warmed up and we had to move out to 70 to 110 foot of water to find any concentration of fish.

In front the piers, we used glow Jplugs and glow Stingray lures. When we moved off shore we were back to Hot Chip and Pro Chip flashers and Rapture trolling flies. On the copper we produced very well with the Stingray NBK, Wonderbread and Craig's Christmas.

Monday produced more wind and warmer water and today the water was 65 degrees on the bottom in 110 foot. We had to move off shore and finally found some fish in 200 foot of water, however we had to fish 150 foot down. With the prediction of more south winds the next few days, I do not see much cooling and we will probably have go deep for the fish.
