When I took the dogs for their walk in the mornin it was very calm, no wind, no waves. I had the afternoon to hit the jetti, so that was the plan. I got to the South a little after 1 and the conditions sure did change. There was a very chilly east blowin wind that created some rough water. The wind was enough to seriously mess with workin a lure accurately. My buddy and his brother met me out there a little after I arrived. We were workin the 30s (markers) and down to the 20s with barely a bite. I had one missed bite that was very hard to feel as I was bringin my worm over a rock covered with thick kelp. My buddy grabbed a nice little Copper right in front of the rock he was standin on and that was the only fish of the day. I had put on a 1 oz mojo slider sinker to try and compensate for the wind, but I quickly changed back to 1/2 oz cause it didn't really do much difference other than increase my chances of snaggin. My buddies left at 5:30 and I continued, but headed out deep. The deeper I went the rougher the water became, so I turned back at the mid 50s and decided to work the mid 40s. I had a couple more missed bites, one Ling for sure as I inspected the deep slashes in my lure. I had to split by 8, but 7:30 felt good enough and I went to pick up my girlfriend from work. What a bummer.
