Went off the dock at Point Defiance and didn't even get a bite. I don't know if it is the weather or if the fish just aren't there. I was targeting bottomfish, primarily flounder.

Thought I would start the New Year out right and decided I would go out for a little bit. Didn't catch anything but had a fun time. Wasn't as cold as I thought it would be and got one nice bite.
