I heard that they dispersed a bit. That's kokanee fishing. Never really a sure thing.

The way I read it, in the waters near me, Monterey Bay, we can fish 300 feet and deeper from now until April 30.  Anything shallower is still closed.  Come May 1st until September 30th , we can fish 120 feet and shallower only.  Then all October is only 300 and deeper, November is back to only 120 and shallower and December is back to only 300 and deeper.
Is this how others interpret this?

Yes but "300 feet and deeper " is defined by the 50 Fathom line coordinates and some parts that are reachable are as shallow as 220' or 250' or so. Likewise 120' and shallower is defined by the coordinates, not the depth contour.
I just finished entering the coordinates in Navionics on my phone and saving them as a route, which creates the lines. I'm not sure if I can get them into my FF via the card.

Oh man, I’m up at Clearlake. I wonder if I can get back in time for tomorrow.

Look up the tide charts for Alameda for the days that you are going. Then usually go with the tide direction - towards The bridge on outgoing or towards OAK during incoming and then back after the tide change.  But also look at Windy for wind forecast. Sometimes it really turns on in the afternoon. I would avoid over 10mph or so for now.
I had to really struggle back once in my inflatable i9 when I ignored the tide. It was brutal. But in your yak it wouldn't be as bad.

This sounds interesting.
I hate to bring up the whole motorized vs non-motorized issue but which way is this swinging?
Non-motorized sounds more like it fits Olympic ideals, but I think the current bass competitions are mostly motorized.

4 Species! Sweet. I need 3 of those on my AOTY.

Awesome work! I emailed but don’t think I ever got a reply.

The Outback has a small replaceable looking part ahead of the rudder but it seems like they need one on the front.
I've was using Gorilla tape in 3 layers and replacing it every few months or so. I finally got some Pereguard that doesn't look great with my install job (but better than tape) but has held up well so far. It comes in white as well as black and the white looks good on the Lynx. It adds minimal weight compared to some other solutions (Car door protector bumper strips). Pereguard for the win.
