@ThreeMoneyj and I were there about three weeks ago. At that point, they were just outside of the bridge in the top 10 feet of water. We mostly chased jumpers and had some success. I'd start there. Good luck!

That's amazing! Nice choice, John! I assume you informed Poopsmith that he's required to wear that at all times when kayak fishing for the entire year.

Solid work from two pros.

Participation in this event has seemingly gone down every year, even with no entry costs. Anything we can do to increase it, I'd be in favor of. I've fished with more than a few people with Bixbys, Torqeedos, etc.  At no point did I feel they had an advantage over me, even as an older guy.

We accept every other technical advantage, including live scope (is that still fishing?). Winning this contest (I have a sense of what it takes) is still going to be about a willingness to get on the road, fish a lot of new locations, learn to fish species you know little about and probably lean on a friend or two for guidance. It's not going to be about who has a small motor.

I say bring 'em on.

I ziptie a 2# ball in the bottom center of my pots. They don't move when deployed off the coast a bit. Different story in Tomales bay where you'd need more.

Mine are bigger. the flat rings I use are 36". They also make a 32" which is about right (same size as most of us use in the Ambush rings).  24" sounds too small.

I've used a mix of ambush and the flat rings. Using the rings allows me to more comfortably carry more sets. I typically go out with 3 ambush and 4 rings. I couldn't carry 7 sets if I only used Ambush.

I've had just as much luck with the flat rings. The bottom of them is very deep as they ascend and the crabs don't generally get out.

Two things you have to be careful of, however.

1. When they hit bottom, lift them up a foot or so and gently let them back down. They can get a bit more off centered than the ambush traps and you want your bait in the middle of the ring.

2. Once you start lifting, don't stop. Pull them fast and steady or crabs can get out a bit easier than the Ambush, especially if the rope slips and the trap drops a bit. This applies to the Ambush as well, though not as much due to the somewhat narrower top surface.

I miss the cove. I need to find a time/day to get back this year! Even without the salmon, that place is amazing.

Thanks for the post.

Wow! That's fantastic. Do you have an online portfolio of other work you've done?

So I got 10 species now but most are definitely in the Tiny Fish Slam category so I’m an easy target to overtake. Almost got to 10 in the first 5 months and I was wondering if there is any record of how quickly people got to 10 species.

In 2020, i had 10 by May 31. In 2021, i had 10 by April 3. I'm sure others beat me in years past.

My turn...

Great weekend! It was very nice meeting a few new people who i've 'known' only by NCKA handles for a while. Fishing was solid on kokes, company and food even better. I didn't have any run-ins with a bear, but I can say some of the Yuba City party animals are far more abominable!

Looking forward to making this an annual event! Thanks for organizing it, Brian!

Until next time!

What is this AOTY that you speak of?  :smt044

Do you even catch fish anymore bro?  :smt044

No. But my girlfriend says I'm a pretty good boyfriend.
