OMG! possible Saturday bottomfish window!!

I may have to drag mine over and burn some fuel. Looks like the first real window this year.

Just looked at the tide. Might be fun coming in.

For those of you with lots of experience with Garibaldi, how’s that bar crossing on that large out going?
I was planning on crossing back at 11 anyways to avoid it.
Thanks!

Windy has Garibaldi at 11 on Saturday with 3' @ 8 seconds. Current should be close to high slack. Come back in on step -IF-the forecasted tide and current prediction holds.

You want the tide at Barview Station.

Garibaldi bar - we did cross the bar around 9:30 about 30 mph and after dropping pots half way to Twin Rocks, headed south at 35+. Limited on lings & things and went back to pick up pots at nearly 40. Flatest ocean in years. We crossed the bar inbound about 3:00 and it was gnarly, current was ripping. My old 20' boat would have made me pucker and no place for anyone without a fair amount of crossing experience. The only other boat I saw heading in was a big charter. Most of the fleet came in earlier before the ebb started running very hard. It was a great day to be out after the long winter's horrible seas.

Don't let sprigdog see this, he can see it from his house. It was a flat ocean, tides and bar didn't matter this weekend at any time

You also crossed at 3:00 and thought the bar was flat?

Guess you're right. I'll quit posting trip reports like other regulars have done.
