Weather?

[Tailwhipped]

I was told the wind will be up this weekend. I checked the report on iwindsurf.com are they usually spot on? Thank you for your help!

Thanks! As you said you never know. I think I will press my luck. wouldn't be the first time I turned for the barn.

Any way we can get a Flag of some sort in the view of the webcam?

Would be easier to tell the wind direction and 'ferocity' than trying to look at wind effect on the surf. It looks nice out there right now!!

Look on the home page of the BWE site (this site). There's a link to wind and
weather. You can find out what the wind's doing now and what it's done for the
past 24 hours (or longer, I think).

Jason, that is a great idea. I checked the weather/wind forcast site and it shows Scripps to be blowing at 17. Checked the web cam and it looks great. Wavster, thanks I have been glued to the weather for the last two day. Hope to see a few of you out in the am.

I've caught my wife winking at the guy behind the fish counter lately at Albertson's, so I was a desperate man.

I wanted to keep it simple, so I just brought my 2 iron sticks, 2 white irons and 2 blue and whites for back up. Plan was to hopefully snag a squid to add to the deadstick iron and work the yoyo. I do alot of jigging and shorter cranks up, like 10 and drop it again, when there are squid around. I also don't burn it up, just fast enough to get the wiggle. It had looked like the bite time had come and gone without seeing anyone go BENDO. The squid marks turned to mackerel and I was working on loading up on bug bait when I finally hooked the right kind around 9 AM. Fish did not run much, just sulked and towed me west, I was thinking maybe BSB for a bit, but it would snap it's head side to side and do little runs down. Finally at color with a grey whale surfacing about 40 yards in front of me, made for a dramatic finish. I remembered the gaff, but no line to tie it, so I pulled a gill and waited for it to die. 30 lbs bled 95 feet on the wh/glow Sumo.(I like these and just ordered a bunch for the store) 40# Big Game, ol reliable Speedmaster and Seeker 665.

Dan, does that look like a Swisher cigar band on that fish........Cohiba




Don't forget your fishing license and know the current species off limits as the DFG checked me upon landing. They were very cool, but did check my license and asked to look in my hatches as well.
