*** Sun 10/22 ***
New Seaforth 1/2 day AM
- first time doing a sport boat for both of us
- boat had about 40 people with capacity for 75, so it wasn't too crowded
- we went straight to rockfish grounds in a little over 200 feet of water
- I caught copper, vermilion, halfbanded, honeycomb, flag, chilipepper, and kelp
- Ryan caught vermilion, halfbanded, flag, squarespot, and calico
- later we checked out a few kelp paddies, I caught a bonito and two mackerel
- end of the day was bottom fishing in 90 feet of water, but we got swarmed by fur bags
rods, mostly rentals
