I watched the weather all week hoping to not get blown out at Flagpole today. I met Dale (Deepdiver) this morning and we left the boat ramp with calm conditions. A few minutes into the ride out the wind picked up and we had a really rough ride out. It was blowing hard enough we had some difficulty getting the anchor to hold. When we entered the water we had 2-3 foot chop with water splashing over the top of us, but everything settled down as we went down the line.
The knuckle is very pretty right now, there was color everywhere. The only small disapointment was that we had no octos out in the open, they are all sitting on eggs hidden away. We had moderate viz and the water was really cold (mid 40's), but we were pretty close to slack so no current at all.
Dale thanks for another great day!
