Rpt-03-19-11 Well we tried!
Lal called me Friday afternoon after looking at Buoy weather, calling for 4 to 6 knots of wind locally in the morning and only 6 to 8 in the afternoon. Of course light rain was also part of the forecast, yet without wind, the rain gear works, and sometimes the fish go off in the rain? With a serious itch to go fishing after two weeks of cancellations on trips due to the weather, I'm in! Loaded the foul weather gear in the truck.
Now I checked the forecast later Friday evening and things didn't change, however, Wet-sand's disagreed with Buoy Weather, calling for 12 to 16 knots of wind all day? Earlier in the day, Dave cancelled our scheduled trip to San Clemente Island, certainly a smart call!
So I met Lal at his home in Cerritos at 5am. A slight breeze, and misty skies, and an occasional flurry of sprinkles. We headed toward Huntington Harbor to launch the Ducky. Exiting the 405 freeway at Bolsa Chica road, the flags were really going strong, the big flag on top of a high rise near Edinger was ripping? Stopped at the entrance to the launch area, it was blowing at least 15 with gusts over 20. Saved our ten bucks to enter and went home?
Checked Buoy Weather a few minutes ago, they still are calling for 2 to 3 knots in the morning? Well you can't wind them all? Come on weather guys you got to do better than that?
Heavy rain tomorrow, rain most of next week, what's a fisherman supposed to do? Hurray up and wait? Honey what was that you needed done today?
