« on: May 28, 2010, 03:50:48 PM »

Any advice? Which location for fishing or crabbing?

Thanks guys, I post a report when I get back.

Hookups and Fishing Reports (Viewable by Public) / Tomales Bay Clam Diggin Fri 4/30

« on: April 29, 2010, 06:54:20 PM »

I am heading to Tomales Bay tommorow from Vallejo at 0530. I am planning dropping a couple of crab hoops in the mouth of the bay inside the surf line. Then head over to the sand bar with my brother and a buddy to dig clams for the -1.2 low tide @ 0750. I bought a 20 foot legnth of 12" PVC today for a pretty penny. I cut it up into 4 ft lenghts and will be avalible for sale to NKCA members for $30 apiece. I can drill and add rope handles if you want to use it the day of.

It looks like its gonna be sunny but the wind will be blowing at 10-20 mph. This may make afternoon halibut fishing not possible. I will bring a rod just in case...
I am going to make a second shrimp pump to make sturgeon bait in the afternoon too.

Let me know if ya wanna meet at Lawsons Landing!

Hookups and Fishing Reports (Viewable by Public) / Marin County crustaceans

« on: April 25, 2010, 07:49:08 PM »

Went out to my fav Marin Co beach today. Weather was perfect

, couldn’t of asked for a better day. Got on the water about 0900. My g/f helped bait my pots

with some wild turkey carcass, striper/trout carcasses. I put in 3 hoop traps, about 15 dungies everytime I wound them up. Lots of small ones in close, moved to deeper water(40 ft) for biguns. Most of my limit was 6+, tried to pull mainly males but it doesn’t look like there is a shortage of crabs. Bounced the bottom with herringcicles for Mr Hali, no bites. Still haven’t popped my yakbut cherry

, any moment…any moment…

Didn't lose any gear, got a limit of dungies, no complaints!

Gearing Up and Rigging Up / Best cheapo GPS to Navigate MLPAs???

« on: April 12, 2010, 01:45:56 AM »

Hey everybody,

I am looking for a cheapy gps to make sure I don't fall into the MLPA zone. If these areas work the way they are supposed to fishing and abng will be best along the closed zones. Thats my duck hunting brain talking there.

I have been looking at Garmin units for under $100. Anyone out there using a Garmin etrex? Vista or legend? What do you guys think about these units?

I would like to have my fishfinder seperate from my gps, so I can't break both at the same time.

Thanks in advance guys
Will

Hookups and Fishing Reports (Viewable by Public) / Muir Beach 3/20-3/21

« on: March 24, 2010, 09:09:21 PM »

Ok guys first report here. Since I found out about this spot on this page I will share my adventure with you all.

I have never launched a crab pot from a kayak so I figured I would give it a try. I had a hankering for some dungeness crab and saw the conditions were going to be choice for sat. I cleaned out my freezer the night before. I found a couple of trout from last fall, a chinnok fliet my bro had brought home from alaska last june and some kinders bbq chicken from the christmas party. As I am headed out the door I see that loneley look on my labs face. I can't resist and everyone else I had called bailed." Load up Leroy, we are going to the beach!"

Takes me about an hour to get there from vallejo. Conditions look choice. Flat calm water and I launched with no problems. My dog was going ape$h!t on the beach but some poor lady had volunteered to dogsit for me. I launch my two hoop traps and come in. Go back out and I am suprised. About 10 dungies in the first trap with 3 keepers! 1 keeper in the next trap. I am stoked, go back to the beach and let some kids play with Leroy.

Check them again, the dog is still going nuts and get 3 more. The next time I go out I was sick of the dog going nutso so I grab his scruff and load him up. I weigh 240 and the dog weighs 90 so the wilderness systems 16 was LOADED down. He was good on the boat, didnt' thrash at all. I had to rest the hoop traps against his back when checking the traps. I get 2 more keepers and toss back a bunch of shakers. I load up the traps with Leroy on board and head in for a sucessful beach landing.

As I am putting my gear on my yak to leave I look down and see my life vest pocket that had my keys had come unzipped. UH-OH. No keys, the spare in the magnetic box had jumped of the undercarrige, no spare at home either. Some guy lets me use his phone and I call my bro for a pickup. he reluctanly agrees. When he gets there from Concord he sees the conditions and the crabs and says "we are coming back tommorrow". The condition aren't as good but I agree.

We come back with 7 traps and 3 yaks. The surf is up! 5-7 foot swells crushing the beach. After several attempts and two proken paddles we get a few traps out. The conditions would go bad then better. All in all we manage 20 legal dungies and some big rocks. We should of had surfboards on Sunday. I check on my truck in the parking lot and there was a $125 ticket on it for parking overnight in the lot.

. It was not posted at all so I am going to fight it. Not one freaking sign in the entire lot. I am gonna tear that ranger up! We also saw the body of that 17 y/o girl helicoptered out on a basket. Kind of a bummer. Reminds me to always show respect to the mighty Pacific.

We boiled crab and bbq chix on the beach. Was a good day with my brothers and dog. I only have pics from Sat. Here they are

Finally decided it was time to head up the coast last Saturday. I was convinced the vis was gonna be terrible but my pops insisted we give it a try. Left the boat at home so i could dive with my dad and cruised the g/f's Toyota echo(41 mpg) instead of the GMC(13 mpg). My brothers followed in the yota and we left Vallejo around 0530. Got in the water about 0830 and conditions were choice. 10-12 feet of visibility, small rollers no more than 1-2 feet, some surge but it could be avoided. my dad is 61 and is on his second year of ab diving. I put him on to one right away in 3 ft of water and then another 8" in 7 ft. I started seeing lots of fish so I ditched my ab iron and switched to the JBL 38 woody. The abs weren't going anywhere.

I am a relative noob to Ocean fishing and spearfishing. I started seeing greenling everywhere. Never shot or ate one before so I started head shooting them left and right. I nailed one in the dome and heard my brother laughing his a$$ off through his snorkel. He had watched the entire l saw an undersize cabbi, chased a decent size ling around but could never get a clear shot. I have been missing eating fresh seafood so I loaded up. 3 abalone, 2 greenling, 1 rock crab, 1 urchin, and a pile of young mussels.

The day was a blast, the water felt great, and diving with my family was awesome. Next night I beer steamed the mussels and rock crab claws, made an uni rissoto, and baked the greenling in olive oile and lemon. It all came out great but the greenie was kinda strong, needed a lotta lemon.

I gotta get some scuba gear soon...
