We've been traveling for 2 days in unusually calm weather. How ironic that we struggled with the weather for 3 months and we get this now! Don't get me wrong - I'm thankful for mother nature's gift. Storms accompanied by heavy rains have chased us out real early as seasons go. This shows how this fishery is at the mercy of so many climatic variables.

Beating the storm
Jack
We're stopped 4miles outside of Humbolt Bay [Eureka, California].
The wind is still, the ocean reflects the lights of the town and the crescent moon. How decieving.

Running from the storm

Fished in severe conditions yesterday. Caught just short of one thousand fish.
Fish biting well
Bobby
Morning. Had a very good day's fishing yesterday, almost full! Weather was sloppy and breezy but the fish were biting well.

Travelling in a washing machine
Bobby
Morning. Travelling all day yesterday in a washing machine. Fast, sharp swell means we are bouncing and rolling. Miserable ride. Thank God the wind isn't that strong.
Lurching and rolling
Jack
Morning. We've been out for two days, trying to travel down the coast.
