20 knot winds from the east-north east.  On days like this I will do an evening bait check run to see what is holding in my bait spots.  The winds will be dropping off on 10/28 so I will be making some patch reef, bar (secondary reef), and wreck runs.  Knowing I can get bait quickly is very important.  

Pilchards are thick and schools of Mullet are coming in.  Both species are coming in with a range of sizes which is good. 

Gopro files were corrupted at the end so I couldn't post the 2-3 foot swells I was fishing in on the flats (100 yards from shore).  Good offshore practive with the ability to stand up if I fell overboard.
