General Talk / Re: Ft Bragg Albacore Charter ?« on: August 30, 2024, 07:00:49 PM »Reports on CS are starting to get interesting... seems pretty good off of HMB ~30 miles out for albacore. Having done an albacore mothership trip … find an area of albacore, splash the kayaks, and troll diving plugs and swim baits. Jigging a swim bait also worked, but you can go on the troll with them to locate a school. -Allen 3

Do I really agree with Samantha Murray? What is the world coming to?

I just watched the video. In which it was said.
Erika Zavaleta said, "Enforcement and monitoring challenges is the primary challenge. However, Samantha was quick to jump in that the memo also said something like, "The March recommendation was made with the sportfishing community INCLUDING the kayak committee. Must continue to recognize the impact on quillback." What are your recommendations to address these deficiencies? -Allen 6

Thanks for the update Paul. Good effort. On what grounds was it rejected?

There are way more, and better, spots accessible via boat than the public spots.

General Talk / Re: canning tuna?« on: July 29, 2024, 12:31:33 PM »Going to do another bigger batch before returning the cooker and try a few more seasoning/flavoring options like smoking the tuna first. I just finished up a batch of bellies and collars, hot smoking at 225 for 1.5 hours to impart smoke flavor, but also to render some of the fat a bit. Then canned as normal, after picking the meat off the collars. No brining before smoking, pinch of salt in the can just like I normally do. Turned out great. -Allen 10
Hookups and Fishing Reports (Viewable by Public) / Re: BC trip July 18-25« on: July 23, 2024, 02:43:27 PM »I was fantasizing about doing something like that, how was there good fishing in kayak range? I know the Salmon can hang tight to Friendly Cove…was Sandford there when you visited? If so, based on what he told us he would have been in his beach front shop.Got to go ashore in Nootka today. It’s the point of first contact between Eropeans and Mowachaht/Muchalaht First Nation. Pretty cool lighthouse. The highlight was visiting Sandford Williams wood carving studio. His work is world renowned, and pretty incredible to see in person. Seems like he uses few to no power tools and does everything by hand. He had few pieces for sale as he reported spending a lot of time on commissioned totem poles for fishing lodges. I guess we did it in 2007. https://www.northwestkayakanglers.com/index.php?topic=347.0 -Allen 11

Probably 15 years ago, we got on ferried over to Yuquot, Nootka with 3 kayaks, camped there and fished from there. Good times. -Allen 12
Fishing Tournaments and Events / Re: USAngling Introduces New USA Kayak Saltwater Fishing Team« on: July 03, 2024, 10:53:31 AM »
We did it. Team Gold at the recent PanAm Championships in Costa Rica. We also took individual gold (Guy Marsh) and silver (Lance Clinton).
Next up are the world championships in Valencia, Spain in October. -Allen 13
General Fishing Tips / Re: Kayak guide for Saltwater intro« on: May 31, 2024, 09:49:13 AM »The general rule of thumb is to be cautious of swells with a short period between sets. For example; swell height of 6’ with a period of 3 seconds or less between sets, (swell being “X” and the period being 0.5X or less). Not sure you got that ratio right, so I'm gonna check this as it feels like dangerous info to me. 6' at 3 seconds is extremely steep and dangerous. I don't think you see this steep very often. I don't think I've ever seen 2:1 ratio. I find 6' at 6 seconds to also be steep and uncomfortable but doable depending on my mood and the wind and windchop. 1:1.5 (6' at 9s) is ok. 1:2 (6' at 12s) is good on the water, but start minding the surf break as these are starting to be long period swells. 1:3 (6' at 18s) is going to be booming surf and you'd probably barely notice it on the water. All at 6', so scale a bit for smaller or larger waves. -Allen 14
General Talk / Re: Coastside Net Pen Build« on: May 10, 2024, 02:22:52 PM »I'm always amazed that even with a relatively short time in the pens the smolts are able to imprint on HMB and return as adults to try to spawn, with really nowhere to go. Right before a big old hook rakes them across the back ... -Allen 15
