Conditions actually look a lot better than I thought they would today. I drove by around 5 on the way home from work and it looked choppy at Doheny.

You should never feel guilty for fishing instead of being at work. Unless your the Boss!

Yeah, I'd feel guilty if I played hooky too. But, at least you got a fish. Very cool seeing the False Orcas too. Heard there was a pod of about 50 outside of Dana today.

Always nice to get out, thanks for the report. Here is a quote from Newport Landing this morning regarding the false killer whales. Very interesting...

"Extremely rare viewings of false killer whales on our whale watching cruises yesterday Weds March 12 haven't been seen locally for over decade. A group of 8 false killer whales were cruising off Laguna Beach on Wednesday. Typically found in the open ocean and in more tropical waters they look very similar to a killer whale even in size. The group of false killer whales were viewed cruising and even feeding on large white sea bass off Laguna beach. A real added treat for our whale watchers onboard those cruises yesterday. Along with false killer whales, gray whales were also viewed yesterday as well as huge pods of dolphin (one pod over 1000 was viewed)."

Now I can blame the false orca's for my WSB skunks!

funny, I think my boss has a line direct to the fishing gods, whenever I play hooky during the week, the fishing is slow to say the least!

I think I will follow your example tomorrow. Newport is calling my name!

Sailors may be struck down at any time, in calm or in storm, but the sea does not do it for hate or spite.
She has no wrath to vent. Nor does she have a hand in kindness to extend.
She is merely there, immense, powerful, and indifferent.

I stole this from another site!
