Boring and Bumpy 5/19

[jrodda]

0600 launch. Windier in the morning than expected. Bumpy right out the gate and stayed about the same with 5-10mph wind all morning. I wanted to record more underwater footage going toward Newport.

Really don't have much to say. Got one bite early on, jack sh!t for the rest of the day. Footage shows the bass weren't around. Reasonably clear water today, 10-20' at the bottom with a decent blue tint. Still cloudy so could have been better. Saw some marks here and there but they were mostly junk blacksmith and smelt, some señoritas...didn't see any bass at all except for two spots. Rough! Just like the ride back to the harbor. Bird activity became more apparent as the morning went on.

No pics, footage isn't really worth posting. Good for knowing the bottom composition, but no sick school shots or biters. But if you wanna see some shaky footage of cruising past empty scattered rocks and telephone poles, then you may persuade me.

Time for a nap.

Ugh... Sounds like much of the fleet yesterday down here.

 I was wondering about the Red Tide, sounds like it might be clearing up a bit. Be glad you were on the water having fun and not playing with a rototiller all day !
