Ocean Explorer Friday

[Ocean Explorer]

1-24-13 We did get out today,,,boy was it cold,,,,.Sea temp in the river this morning was 30 degrees..Pretty chilly,.Out in the ocean in hovered around 38-39 degrees.Winds were gusting around 15-20 kts.Got out to where we have been fishing and the bottom was a ghost town..Not a bite,,,hard current did not help things either..Pushed further east and deeper looking to maybe get to the offshore grounds to find better life but the current would not let you fish deeper..Needed 16oz just to be near the bottom...the way the winds were blowing anyway we did not want to venture out that way anyhow.So in the end we ended up with a ling,,,and a bergall,,and a really nice spinydogfish!!!!Not bad huh>>>.tough day..,,the winds are gonna crank this weekend so I am canceling tomorrow(saturday))Its gonna howl out of the Sw and offshore is not a good place to be in a Sw gale..Sunday looks bad to,,I shall look at the forecast tomorrow and decide.
