It was overcast, windy, choppy and cool on the way out and was hoping the conditions would be better as we got closer to the Oakland airport area, nope-worse, wind was out of the south. Set out the water anchor/drift sock and started trolling frozen herring. Action was slow, got a hit and Jim a shaker, then we lost the water anchor, rope broke (I think a couple of Allen screw heads on the back rail wore through it). Luckily had another smaller one on board and put that out, all good. The ride in was smoother until we crossed under the Bay Bridge headed to Berkeley, got fairly snotty (so happy with the new helm enclosure, kept us nice and dry!) Ended up with 2 halibut keepers and 1 striper, no complaints!
