Ya got out there this morning...Met Amish Ed at baby beach and we made it out to the pipe probably about 630 or so. Stuck around what i think Ed said was about the 40-50 ft zone. Unfortunately after a long weekend of partying and me forgetting my water bottle in the car i was hurtin bein out there so called it a day about 10. Was pretty slow either way. Picked up 3 Calicos 1 short, 1 very close, and 1 probably about 15 incher. Fished 5 inch Big Hammers with the Warbait weedless jig heads. Pretty bummed after driving up and having Andy fix my bait tank i go to turn it on while paddling out and it wasnt working. Gonna look at the connections inside the pelican box and get it workin for next time.

Fog wasnt bad at all. Pretty good distance visibility. Definitely a little cold out there though. Rained real lightly for a few minutes. And some dood in a commercial crab boat was claiming that he saw Sea Otters in the kelp at the headlands.

Ed it was good fishin with ya, hope it picked up for you a bit after i left.

Tim, I didn't stay out much longer than you. Finished with 1 short and 1 legal calico and some sort of rockfish. Thought it was a grass bass, but I suck at ID'ing rockfish and I was too lazy to break out the camera. It was chunky, but fought like a starfish. We'll definitely do it again.
