Hey guys looking for anyone who wants to join me fishing HMB for bottomfish tomorrow (Saturday, June 4). This will be my first time out in the ocean this year. Conditions seem pretty solid, with manageable swells and wind, but all the same it'd be nice to have a buddy. I'm sure there will be others out there too!

Has anyone used salmon bones for soup (not stock). Someone told told me it makes great coconut curry soup but I've also heard that salmon bones can be fishier.

I've been searching the web without success. Apparently Hobie increased the length of the AI ama on the 2015 and newer (V2) models. Could someone tell me what the length of the new ama is? Thank you!

I'm thinking of going out tomorrow in the AM for a little bit of chrome hunting. Windy.com says 7-8ft swells and a 12sec period. Will I see any problems with those kinds of conditions when exiting/entering the jaws?

Just an FYI for those who were thinking of using ling cod head for soup, it tastes great!

I caught a ling the other day and realized the head makes up a huge portion of the body. There seems to be a lot of meat inside. My mom took the head, removed the gills and jaws, and cooked it up in a "Maeuntung" korean fish stew and it was amazing! The soup has a flavor similar to crab soup. My kids ate the eyeballs.

They also made halibut tempura and, yes, halibut sashimi. My dad and uncle are chefs who have owned seafood and sushi restaurants for over 40 years so I figure they know what they are doing.

I've never needed to take any dramamine out on the bay even in small craft advisory conditions. However, given the warnings about swells, I decided to take some on my ocean trip. The entire time out on the water I was really drowsy, and once on land I felt very tired as if sapped of all strength. It could have just been the exhilaration of being out on the water that drained me but just wondering what your experiences are? I'm thinking of skipping the dramamine altogether on the next trip.

Has anyone tried eating halibut fillets with the skin on? I do that with salmon... when grilled skin side down I can get the skin really crispy. Salmon skin doesn't seem nearly as slimy as halibut skin.

Went kayak fishing out of Berkeley on Saturday hugging the pier and limited out, 22", 25" and 27". This was past the pier itself and further out to where the pilings are. This is only my 3rd time out this year and no skunks yet so I am very grateful! I haven't seen any other kayakers in the area so figure I give you guys a heads up.
