does anyone know wherei can launch a zodiac in the sonoma area for ocean fishing? i think i will be heading up there in late august to give it a try.
if you know of places, can i trailer it into the water or do i have to launch by hand?
thanks in advance!

These are the place you can launch a zodiac to my knowledge, from south to north.
Bodega bay there's a good ramp on the inland side of doran. Timber cove but I believe you have to let them launch it with their truck unless it's small enough to hand launch, even if you do have to hand launch it is a very short walk to the water. Ocean cove has a ramp. Im sure there's more and Mendocino has quite a few as well and is just north of sonoma.

thanks for the info joe!
so i guess timber cove still helps with launching which is a nice thing! i had thought they stopped launching a while back but then again i did not look much into it.
i have seen the launch at ocean cove but on really low tides that place can be hard to get into i think.
thanks!

Did not see the folks at Timber Cove giving anyone a hand launching this weekend. Everyone was on their own and it seemed easy enough if you had the right tools. They will tow you out of the sand if you get stuck, for a price.
