Hi Guys,

Planning a trip to Tomales next Saturday. Is there a place in the North or East Bay to buy Halibut clips?

Thanks

Hi

Any suggestions about what to use inside the SF Bay and Carquinez Straits and Ocean? I have been paddling in the Carq Straits near Benicia. The water is warm and air temp warm to hot on the water. Basically wearing nylon pants or swimsuit with quick dry shirts. I get wet and its been OK. But when the weather cools off I want to stay dry.

Ocean - I have a farmer john wet suit 3mm. Dry pants OK?

SF Bay - Chest high gore tex waders, dry pants or wet suit?

I live in Benicia and have had my Yak out about 5 times. If you know Benicia in the summer its windy. I haven't been out with
winds less than 15 Mph. I went out yesterday with the new rudder installed..what a difference! I was able to track straight and steer
while paddling on both sides. The last few times I was out, I had 15 to 20 mph winds at my back with the tide going out against the wind.
This created a following swell about 1.5 to 2 ft - confused... with out the rudder I had to fight to keep the Yak  from going sideways into the swell. The rudder was sweet , I could steer and keep the Yak perpendicular to the swell. At one point I stopped paddling and just let the wind
blow me down to 9th Street. I had one swell nearly tip me - i was able to steer to recover. Good Investment!

Caught one small striper trolling. Didnt even know it was on the line
