Should have never left the dock today! Howling west wind with Incoming tide (naturally) made for another day of horrible conditions. Didn't have a fish till the tide changed and even at that, the bite didn't last long. 8 shorts, no keepers. We did read a lot more life today, (bait and fish), all along the channel on the way out and saw more gannet action in the AM. Best I could find on the water temp was 46 degrees..I don't think anything short of devine intervention would have help today!! capt.ron
