Wanted To Buy / Wtb. Hobie seat

« on: October 31, 2018, 11:22:48 PM »

If you have a stock seat sitting around for a twist n lock style hobie I'm interested. If you've upgraded and have your old seat sitting in the corner of the garage give me a shout!

General Fishing Tips / Fishing bag

« on: July 18, 2018, 06:44:56 PM »

Any recommendations on a fishing lure bag for the yak? Rolled my yak on a surf entry today and lost a really old beat up bag so I was hoping to upgrade.

General Fishing Tips / Spider hitch on dropper rigs

« on: December 13, 2017, 06:13:21 PM »

Anyone use a spider hitch know instead of the typical dropper loop knot for high low rigs? From what I've read it's a bit better than a typical dropper loop or palomar knot for high low rigs. Interested to hear people's thoughts.

Craftsmen's Corner / Ugly flies.

Had some fun tying these. Christmas tree fly is probably my favorite. Rubberband fly was the most questionable haha

Hookups and Fishing Reports (Viewable by Public) / Timber Cove 10/14

« on: November 28, 2017, 09:06:56 PM »

2nd post - thought I'd do a report from my first trip out to Timber Cove a month back.

Hit the water at 7 or 8 - little bit of swell and no wind to speak of with 2 friends. This was my first time out on the water and they were pretty comfortable out there so I felt good about it. Launch was good, paddle out was good, swell was fine after us delaying the trip a few weeks. Fished Saturday and Sunday.

Went out straight and drifted to the south and fished 70-120 feet of water - my friends fish finder broke but I had a line counter on my reel so that helped a bit. Got about a dozen rockfish over the two days and 2 or 3 big lings (2 days)

I didn't have fish grips or a big net or a gaff (rookie move) and one of the big Lings came up I freaked a little bit knowing how big there teeth are. I was using a hex bar so I just picked him up on it and threw em between my knees haha. A stupid situation but my boys are still intact - lesson learned.

Overall a really good trip. Even helped someone with a NCKA sticker on there F150 steady there yak on their truck. Small world.

Looking for cheap rod recommendations too - I have a Uglystik Tiger 5' 8" that's rated for 8-16oz, looking for something that's about similar size but in the 2-6 oz range.

PS if you see me out in the wild, say hello. Trying to drop pots some day soon, but work is kicking my ass right now (self-employed).

Introductions / Hello from SF

Figured I'd better contribute to the site rather than watch it go by. I live and work in SF as a sign painter and due to being self employed I often find myself fishing the Bay and coast. Bought a kayak to go rock fishing and have been out a few times (I'll post a report soon enough.) Excited to drop pots here when the day comes and learn a bit more about the sport. Helped a guy with a white truck and ncka sticker on his truck a while back at timber cove and thought out might be cool to meet some folk so here I am.
