Ghosts Elude us Again!

Jack gave me the opportunity to fish with him again Friday. Yes, we took our beautiful mackerels out of the receiver and put them to work. And we worked them and worked them to no avail. The ghosts (aka white seabass) lived up to their reputation.

We had good tides -0.76' at 3:09 am and 4.06' at 9:28 am and 69.9 degree water. Unfortunately we had wind that continued to build to about 12 knots by noon creating quite a choppy sea with white caps. The sun eventually came out around noon but it failed to warm the air.  It was a cold day on the water.

We fished the Salt Creek to Headlands area all morning and made one pass from the headlands to pipeline without a single bite for either of us. Thanks again Jack for giving it another try. At least we had the opportunity to try to find them.

Since there were no fish photos, I thought it interesting to document the wonderful process of loading Jack's boat on the trailer. Smooth operation!
