Dana Pt blues, 11-26-12

2 Weeks ago I went on a charter out of Dana Wharf and got skunked, but wasn't too surprised (water temp dropped 7º overnight). Went out today with Keith (Highwayman) and pounded the pipe and jetty for about 3hrs total for 3 measly bites.

Launched at 6:45 and stopped by the bait barge, but we couldn't wake the guy up. So Keith went without and we headed for the pipe. Water temp ranged from 62-63º. It was kinda cold out and there was lots of clouds. I was looking forward to no wind as the flag I check on the way to the harbor had been hanging limp. Came around the jetty to a brisk south wind. Strike one.

Got out to the pipe and started working it in about 50'. Fished all my standard colors from 3" Flurrys to the 5.5" Big Hammer. Just couldn't find anything willing to bite. When the wind died off a bit I realized that the current was uphill. Strike two.

Water was super clear and blue out on the pipe. Strike three. Finally got sick of the pipe around 9:30 and headed for the outer jetty. Water was too green and dirty. We tried anyways, but nothing happened. at 10:20 I realized I could be much more productive at and we headed in.

It was nice to meet and fish with Keith and we'll try to fish again before he moves on (he's on a road trip). He was going to grab some bait and head back out. Hopefully he found something willing to bite the live stuff. Super motivated to fish Mission or SD bay next monday.

Thanks for the Report

I had a tough time waking the bait guy as well last week at about 5:45am. Sign says, OPEN 24-7. Guess we caught him at 25-8. Hope he's awake tomorrow morning. I'd still like to fish with you as well, this week I saw your post, but couldn't go on Mon. (today). I'll let you know if I catch anything tomorrow, gonna fish for halibut tomorrow- so I'm hoping for some live dines in the tank.

If you have a radio you can call them and they'll wake up.

Otherwise with that generator running. . . You'll have to exit the yak and knock on the door if you want to be quick about it. Give em a few extra bucks. They'll typically look over your breaking the rules.

Yep, I was on the water and had good company too. Next week will be determined by gas money, but I should be able to swing it. I'll try to post up on Friday.

5lb calico in the harbor? That's awesome.
