Title: UPDATE : Loose Screws Timber Cove Tuesday 4/19 or Wednesday 4/20
Post by: Fish 'n Brew on April 14, 2016, 12:08:05 PM
It looks like Tuesday is the fishing day.  We plan to arrive late Monday afternoon and RV camp on the bluff if Brenda has space available.  Stop by for a beer Monday evening or join us on the water Tuesday.  We will be on channel 69.


It looks like conditions Tuesday and Wednesday might be right for the 1st rock fish trip of the season.  Nothing definite yet, but Hobie Dave and I are looking at either Tuesday or Wednesday or possibly both, with an overnight camping stay at Timber Cove.  I'll post an update in a few days as plans and conditions are firmed up.

I don't know about NCKA peeps, but I know there's usually a group of kayakers that launch from there. A co-worker of mine will be there this Saturday.

Thanks!
My friend couldn't make it, so I was hoping to have others nearby. I will keep my radio on 69 unless there is a better channel. It's always good to have others Around in our ocean.
Looking forward to it!

Timber Cove, yesterday 4/19.  We launched to calm flat seas with virtually no wind.  Dave and I launched and Adam and Rob joined up a few minutes later.  Dave and I went North and Adam and Rob went straight out off the Totem Pole.  Adam and Rob found the fish so we followed.  The bite was a little slow at first but I managed to get two big coppers, a couple of big Chinas and four other very decent rock fish, for a total of eight.  On my final drop, I got a nice 30" Ling.  Not a bad day, especially considering the word we received from the group that fished there yesterday and only caught one or two Lings and no rock fish.  I don't have pictures to attach because they were taken by Hobie-Pam and she and Dave decided to stay an extra night.  I'll try and post them when I get them later today.  It was an amazing day on the water and great to fish with Adam and Rob from the "Sac Crew".  Napa Justin showed up in his PB and fished with us for a while too.  He launched at Doran and the ocean was so calm, he said it was an easy trip to TC. It was another great day on the water and good to get back on the salt before GSX.

It was great day to be on the water. Not the best bite, but we all got some nice fish. Adam and I caught fish throughout the day till 5pm.

Side note- Large mysterious swirl of water 10' off the starboard bow of Hobie Dave's kayak in the morning.

Sounds like the BIG Ling that got away to me.   :smt003  Thanks for the report guys.  It's good to see somebody getting to fish the salt.

Fairly slow bite for me but did acquire several dinners. Fished from TC to OC and back then chatted with guys in front of TC for a bit before leaving. My FF went out 5 minutes after launch, bad lead connections from battery, so fished blind. When the bite is on having no FF in that area is not a problem but when looking for the best under water structure to maximize hookup chances it became an impediment. I hope that we get a kelp crop this year. Without one many small rock fish are unlikely to survive to adulthood.
