Easy Limits Of Rock Cod!

Captain Hale running the Swell Chaser and first mate Mat on a ¾ day today. Quick limits of Rock Cod for our passengers and some for the crew. Then, switching gears and focusing on Halibut for the rest of day, which resulted in only one short halibut but still made for a great day on the water.
