Title: Went Fishing - 3/16/11

Fishing report title:  Sometimes there's a location, sometimes there's not - that's fine, but I think it should always have a date.   :)

I jammed over to the Cape around 2:30, got on the beach at 3:20, and was wetting a line right before 4PM.  The water had lots of brown to it due to the Mattole's heavy outflow a few miles south, but the quality was not bad overall.  With a 16' swell just destroying everything from the outer reef out about a quarter mile (!), I had only a few options for fishable water during the minus tide.  Got a few taps and broke off one sand bag and rockcod rig in the kelp, but I didn't mind at all because the really nice part of the afternoon was the very light wind and ample sunshine.  Even had my shirt off!  OMG, I needed the 3 miles on the beach, and the hour of getting a few bites was just fine too.   :)

Now for a test of how well the attachment features work.   ;D

I've got a bunch of pics I want to put up, but it says the limit is 192 KB - that seems low.  The photos I use have been taken down to 600x800 - that's the standard.  I'll send a PM to Aaron about it.

I re-shrunk them to like 480 or something...
