I know someone has a 60+# setup collecting dust.  I'd like to give your rod and reel new life! And have it sit in my garage until they show up again.  Let me know what you have.  Thx!   

We went fishing out of HMB yesterday.  Prior to launch, the Harbor Patrol stopped by as we were rigging up in the parking lot.  He gave us the Safety/Owner Stickers and loaned a Sharpie.

He asked us to spread the word that if you don't have a sticker (Name, Telephone Number), just stop by the Harbor Patrol's Office.  They'll give you as many as you need.

Also.... start thinking about carrying signal devices.

I picked up a 6' cast net for this year's herring run.  My 7yr old is SUPER interested in trying it, but I'm thinking it might be a bit big for her. 

Have any of you ever tried a 4' net?  Reading different reviews online, the 4' net doesn't have enough weight to get down quickly enough to overcome the short spread of the net (for herring).  Would adding additional weight to the net help?

First and foremost, props to the powerboater, kayaker (unknown) in a red Outback, and Ichiro--RG for finding and assisting the distressed kayaker.   

Does anyone have any info about the kayaker in the red Revo13 that rolled and couldn't recover?

His rescue was a shit-show because he was panicking, shouting into the radio (unintelligible), and couldn't give his proper location.   By the time I caught up to them, the powerboat had the kayak tied to the stern of the boat, and they were dragging it back to harbor.  It looked like his crab pot was still strapped to the back of the Revo13 and the Revo had taken on quite a bit of water.

I'm interested to know:
1)  What caused him to go over?
2)  Was the pot strapped to his kayak?
3)  Did having the pot strapped to his kayak contribute to the roll-over and/or failure to right himself?
4)  Did he not have a whistle on his PFD?
5)  Were his waders filled with water?

I'm posting this because it's a teachable safety lesson.  I also want to call the kayaker out because he had his son (presumably young) with him in another grey Hobie.  I didn't hear the son on the radio, so I can only assume he didn't have one.  He could have died in front of his kid because he and his son were grossly unprepared to be on the water.

Need to make room in the garage.  It comes with seats and I'll throw in some paddles (not the ones pictured).  In its previous life, it was a rental kayak from Lake Tahoe and it shows.  Definitely has bumps, scrapes, and scratches, but no repairs done or needed to the hull.  It's a great kick around kayak for the family.  One of the clips for the seat is missing the "clip," but as you can see (I'm pointing to it in the pic), it functions just fine.

Asking $250 for NCKA.  It'll make its CL appearance next week at a higher price.  Thanks for looking! 

***Posted this up last year.  Life happened, sale fell through, wife got sentimental about the kayak, etc etc.

I stumbled across a Hobie Outfitter that was too good to pass up, so I REALLY need the room and this is definitely up for sale again!

Earlier this year, I picked this Ocean Kayak T15 up from Sonoramike.  You can see his post here: http://www.norcalkayakanglers.com/index.php?topic=82146.0

I originally bought it as a buddy yak, but ended up picking up another Hobie.  This thing has just been sitting in my garage since I bought it so figured it's time to pass along the deal. 

Still needs the carry handles replaced.  The fishfinder comes with it.  I'll throw in some adjustable foot braces (uninstalled), and a seat.

Does not come with a paddle or rudder.

***SOLD***

Anyone have a pair sitting around?  I'm getting too lazy to deal with adjusting my Yakima gear and wanted to try the Seawing for a one-size fits most.  Thanks
