Saturday 6/20 Pt Loma report

It got windy out there! Caught 9 calico and 4 jack mackerel in the morning, spent the rest of the day fighting the wind to making it back to the jetty.

Nice work! That’s a helluva hike

I think I saw you.
I launched from Dana landing and only made it down to the end of Sunset Cliffs, but you are right about fighting the wind on the way back. Then fighting the tide both ways in the Bay made for a good workout.
It was slow for me but I did end up with my PB ling cod! 30 inches!

Oh nice! Congrats on the lingcod. Were you to the north of me about a half mile at 1pm? I think I saw you too, and I was impressed with the pace you were going.

How was it getting back into Mission Bay? I got caught in the mouth once and had to battle a hard outgoing tide to get back in, I wasn't even sure I was making any headway for awhile. there were huge swells at the entrance to the harbor

I didn't have any issues this time, but my head is always on a swivel when I come in the entrance. It can get pretty gnarly with the ocean swells meeting the outgoing tide plus the reflected waves off the jetties plus the boat wakes. And some of those boats are hauling ass. I stash all my gear and leash my rods the same as if I'm coming in for a surf landing.

Thanks, I wasn't sure if I was the only one with tight pucker strings when I hit that mix of swells and outgoing tide. For awhile I did not think I was going to make it back into the bay. I had to start checking landmarks to see if I was making headway.
