Title: Half Moon Bay 2009-09-19
Post by: Hojoman on September 20, 2009, 01:58:57 PM: Tournament day. I didn't arrive at the harbor until around noon time, thanks to the usual traffic backup. Bill was already weighing sardines on a portable gram-o-meter, or whatever it was called.

Post by: Jedmo on September 21, 2009, 11:03:33 PM: Congrats Jessie on your new kayak. I am sure she is going to be a fine fish catching machine.

Awesome pictures as always Howard. Thanks for sharing. BTW, did you fish and try
to go out of the harbor?

Post by: Hojoman on September 22, 2009, 07:31:46 AM: Not this year. Next year for sure. I don't live very far from HMB, but it would still be worth paying to car camp overnight and avoid the night-time drive over the mountain. No electrical hookups to use the you-know-what. :smt003

Those sardines being checked in were huge, much larger than the ones I used on the tuna trip.

Post by: surfingmarmot on September 23, 2009, 09:03:11 PM: Congrats to all on the good turn out and fun time despite the meager fishing--especially glad to see a gamefish won--pretty bad if it would have been a Dine. Nice new kayak dude! Last minute change of family plans doomed my participation darn it.

I heard the story--a bit sad. the owner lived on the boat but had a bilge pump he had to turn on every 24 hours. He passed away on board and no one knew and a few days later, the accumulated bilge sunk it. It was raised and towed there to be demolished at some point in the future.
