Found this video about Pacific halibut habitat.  A few other gems on the channel.  The number of lings is insane in this video, wherever this is.

Learnt a lesson today!
  Was at Rockaway yesterday looking at the flat surf and after seeing the conditions were similar today, dropped a couple pots in the evening for an overnight soak. 
    I launched today, got my pots (half dozen keepers) paused on the way in to let a surfer get out of the way in a spot I would usually stow the drive and switch to paddle but waves started breaking 5 feet  in front of me as he pushed by.  I was in a pickle, so I tried to push through but got turnt by the next wave, flipped, and got a good gulp of sea water. I was able to get the boat right side up and got on top then made it to shore in one piece (most important). The traps didn't stay on the boat by design, I had the ropes free and buoys loose so they could do their job. The surfer grabbed my PVC holder which was awesome. Big thanks to a guy on a Zodiac who was able to pull up one of the pots.
    After warming back up and reflecting on what I did right and where I went wrong. First and foremost I thought about Tedski asking if I practiced self-rescue in HMB harbor (Thank you sir, lucky I did).  I'm lucky I took the advice about managing what to keep on a leash (paddle, drive) and what not to (crab traps, pot holders), otherwise I might have been tangled and wouldn't have been able to move let alone get the yak right side up. I was dressed for immersion and had a knife on my PFD.
     I think the recent weather has changed the seafloor and all the usual staging areas and launch/landing spots of the past didn't work. Pausing where I did was a mistake. As I was getting on the boat I was being shoved into a HUGE set of rocks recently exposed by the storms on and would have ended up there if I didn't get back on the boat as quickly as I did. I should have recognized this and been more cautious/delayed/called off my launch.
     With the golden advice of 2 out of 3: 1. Knowledge of area/ 2. Trustworthy buddy/ 3. Perfect conditions I would only add that recent knowledge of the area above and below the water is really what is needed. 
      My overconfidence of a beach I visit multiple times a week could have cost me my life today. Fortunately I listen to people who know more than I do, and will continue to do so. Thank you very much sharing what you know.

Got a flat going to the launch at HMB yesterday.  After looking it up the suggested method of fixing is to gently melt and reseal the cut. Has anyone done this before and have any pointers?

       Since the passing of Marque at Coastside a couple months ago, sunny Pacifica lost a gem of a local tackle shop.  The man was sharp, direct, and a fountain of knowledge.  He fixed my crappy poles that I’d drop on the rocks (before I got a kayak) too many times. I probably could have fixed it myself, but why?  It was the best reason to mull around in the shop and ask questions to an OG Pacifica angler. I know I’m not qualified to write a eulogy for the man so I won’t, but damn I learned a bunch listening to him and the folks at the shop and am grateful for it.
       Posting this because as I check the store for updates (no Facebook for me) and they are looking for a buyer for the shop.  Figured I’d post it up here and maybe someone has the itch for their own shop I think they still have the inventory too if that can persuade you. Let me know and I’ll send you the contact.
