It was still windy in the morning. After waiting a few hours we decided to go anyway as wind died down.
we jigged herring in the harbor as we thought we might have some baits. I enjoyed one of the best herring jigging in years. They are thick and big.
After making enough baits, we fished close to the harbor in the bay in protected by islands. There were lots of cod and whiting. Yes, WHITING. Pacific whiting are big and very aggressive to attack big jigs. I might arrange whithing charter to Kodiak.
whiting is as big as small cod.

Dave's first halibut ever.
As weather was getting better, we ventured outside of islands and we encountered constant 8 - 12 ft waves. We didn't fish long there,but we saw bigger fish there. We have a high expectation for tomorrow's fishing as weather forecast is great.
