Looks like a great night is about to happen

Thanks all for the info. I'm a duffer on a cheap boat just wondering how the conditions were. I was thinking ( hoping ) the colder water would blow out the seaweed . See ya out there.

Thanks for the suggestions . We went to the Big river on Monday. Very nice place for us. I tried to take in the advice of playing the tides. The thing I didn't really consider was the wind howling ( ok well going pretty good ) up the canyon. Super scenery and hardly anyone else on the water. Getting back to the landing was quite the challenge in our funky little boats and limited paddling skill. Still very very nice.
On Wednesday we went to the Noyo river. We went to the Dolphin Isle campground, Nice people there let us launch from their campground.
A much smaller and completely deserted river for us, didn't see a single human our whole trip.  Don't know exactly how far we went up, but found a nice little sandbar to picnic on. Seemed like more current in the river but more secluded and not so susceptible to the afternoon breeze.

Thanks again to all

Hi gang, we're going to Ft. Bragg next week and going to bring the 'yaks. We are newbies and just looking for easy spots to paddle around and picnic / sightsee. Estuary type spots, I may bring a pole just to throw out.
Thanks for the assist.

Will the the lake get filled?  Went by there a couple of weeks ago and it looked pretty grim. I want to go, seeing as I just bought a non-fishing kayak that I fish out of.

So how many 3 eyed fish were caught???
