Headed out with two other guys yesterday out of Cape Kiwanda. Surf was reasonably calm (2-3 feet at 15 seconds) at around 7:30, the time we were launching. I mainly fished on the near side of the rock, as it looked a little too rough to venture to the far side. Caught plenty of fish. I caught more than enough black rockfish to limit out but only kept three, as well as some small lingcod and a flounder. Although fish were being caught on white curly tails (3-6oz leadheads), shrimp flies, homemade jigs, etc., the most effective lures were those pre-tied squid rigs. There must have been lots of squid in the water at the time, because I kept having fish throw them up at the surface. I headed back in at about 9:30. Below are some pictures of the fish caught that day.
