Fishing, no matter what

Getting wet and fishing kind of go hand-in-hand, yet there is something about rain and thunderstorms that can keep folks off the big blue. And then there are some that will go fishing no matter what the weather is. In the sportfishing industry, it is up to the captain to make the call. Some anglers will want to go in a hurricane if you let them; threat of high winds, torrential rains and sizzling lightening will not dissuade their zeal. No hurricane here in San Diego this week, and a few boats made it out. The captain will give it a try if they think they can fish safely and there are folks that want to go. So a few anglers did get out there in the weather over the last couple days.
