I went down Thursday eve. Got to fish Friday. I wanted a King
but didn't hear ANY radio chatter and didn't want to go out that
far alone with not many other boaters out there so, I settled
for some MONSTER whiting. Caught them right in front of the
lighthouse about 200 yards off the beach. That was fun and far
less *work*.

I was surprised to see the Prov. Co. open when I floated by.
Figured the old green shades would be zipped up tight
for winter.

Was planning on going out Saturday morn. but the cold morning
air combined with the winds made me decide to pack it
in for the season and pull the old Mako home for the winter.

Thanks for the Prov. Co tip.. It's almost lunchtime and
your post made me hungry. :)

I got skunked this year on Kings... I didn't get to go down
many weekends this year. Things are kinda busy 'round here.

Oh well, at the end of the day, there's always *the drink* and
memories of season's past.

db~Till next May sigh

p.s. I lost my almost new "Mako Marine" hat in the creek (wildlife)
beside your slip.. If you see it, toss a boathook in it's direction.
