http://www.hmbfishing.comOur Fishing Fools gang has had a tough time getting out this year due to some downright rotten weather on the ocean. They made it out today, but it was still in some downright rotten weather. The swell was humping and the wind came up making for a tough day. Some salmon turned up at San Gregorio over the weekend so at least we didn't have to travel too far. They were able to coax one salmon into the boat, shook a couple of undersized fish and gave it the old college try. We ended the day trying the water just south of the harbor where the birds have been working quite a bit the past week, but unfortunatley we didn't find any salmon so by a little after noon we turned back to the safety of the harbor. The latest forecast is calling for 20 to 30 knots out of the northwest along with an 8 to 10 foot swell every 10 seconds for Tuesday, so, based on what we saw today and what is forecast for tomorrow, the trip for Tuesday has been cancelled. Just like last week, we'll have to take it day by day.

Those who were stubborn and......

Last I heard they shook one silver, had another fish pop a weight, and are in the smack dab in the middle of a football field of bait. And breaking news: there still are salmon in the ocean, 'cause we just caught one. Or does that mean there's one less salmon in the ocean?......
