Mike Nursement sent over a report from Fort Bragg over the weekend."We got these Saturday, 42mi out. Very slow could only find 58.5 degree water, Sunday started nice ended super rough. Almost got to them, ocean turned angry on us 38mi out fished for 15 then she turned us back . Had water coming over all sides and over bow for the first 12mi coming back" The body of warm water he was fishing in has slid down here and is now about 40 miles out from here and Bodega. Of course, the wind is also here for a bit. Windy.com thinks that maybe Monday could be a window. Hopefully the wind hasn't blown the water away by then. Only time and Terrafin.com will tell.

    Here's a local report from the only boat that launched from here today: "Afternoon, report from today. Easy perch bait, done by noon. Took your advice and used the gaff. Lots easier when you are by yourself. North of hog in 30 feet.

Swampy" Nice fish, Mr. Swampy. Sorry it took more time to get you in and back out of the water than it took you to catch your fish. Nice use of the gaff, though. Poking holes in them can be a bit cathartic, I think. I hope it was for you.
