Hello all,
I'll be camping and fishing tomorrow 7/1 into Sunday on Tomales Bay. Had the rest of my group bail so thought I'd extend an invitation to anyone that might want to join. Sorry for the last minute post. If there's anybody else that'll already be out there let's meet up. Cheers and happy 4th weekend.

Pulled out two keepers at Doran today after scoring a last minute campsite a few days ago. Of all the other kayakers I talked to on the water and snare group from shore, not a single person had pulled up a Dungeness crab. Was told one tall tale from a guy that heard from another guy of a kayak crabber that pulled his limit on his first pull. Only people that had good numbers were people on boats going 100+ feet deep. Anybody else have luck out there?

Hello,

I recently have the privilege of working on Tomales bay and plan on bringing my kayak with me on Fridays to fish after work. I know it is still early for T bay but was wondering if anybody had early season success in the past in the inner bay vs outer bay? Trying to decide between Marconi vs Miller launch. Thank you. FYI, water temperature is still at 51 degrees so not there yet temperature-wise.

Hello,

A friend of mine borrowing my hoop net flipped and lost my crab ambush hoop ring. Was hoping anybody at Doran coming up could be on the lookout in case it pops up. It has a green, red and white buoy with my goID and phone number (415)794-xxxx. Thank you in advance.

Hello,

After searching the ocean kayak site it looks like they are out of stock of rudder kits that would fit my Big Game 2. I was interested to see if anybody had experience with any aftermarket rudder kits and if they fit these kayaks. Thanks guys.

Hello,

I am new to the kayak fishing game. I've been interested in getting into it for some time and am looking for a decent starter kayak to get me on the water. My friends are convinced that its pedal drive or die. I'm not going to make that a deal breaker since my budget probably doesn't allow for it. I'm probably at a $1200 ceiling. I'm looking for something that can handle getting onto the Sonoma/Marin coast for rockfish and crabbing. If anybody is looking to get rid of their old setup or has something laying around let me know. Thanks in advance, I've already learned quite a bit by going through here and am looking forward putting it on the water. Thank you very much.

Hello fellow members,

  Just wanted to introduce myself being a new member here. I've recently been interested in kayak fishing around the Sonoma coast here after fishing from the rocks for years and seeing my friends with kayaks consistently out fish me haha. I have gotten some safety gear (PFD, wet suit, radio, whistle) as that has been available but finding a kayak has been another story. Just wanted to say that I'm looking forward to learning from the wealth of knowledge here and hopefully seeing some of you out on the water. One more thing I wanted to add. I have a collection of my grandfather's old Penn senators ranging from 3/0 to 6/0. Does anybody know of a good place to get those cleaned up and gone over to use to fish? Thought it would be cool to catch some fish from my grandfather's old reels. Thank you very much.
