Hookups and Fishing Reports (Viewable by Public) / Re: HMB report: skunked

« on: February 19, 2019, 04:37:13 PM »

Out this morning about 8 at HMB. Dropped four pots came home with three Dungies, two were jumbo and three big red crabs. Lots of rocks, shorts and female Dungies. Wind and swell were manageable. A few others out there, heard 3-4 from a few of them.

I like it when folks come by to say hi and check to see how things are going.

I give them a little poke in the eyes and they usually let go.

I was out there today. Water was glass, no wind. Dropped three Promar Ambushes. Did well with them last year, this year not so well yet. Four jumbos on the opener. Today 3 jumbos. Still an awesome day out there.

I’ve kayaked out there before. The water is super squirrelly there coming in around those points. I had trouble launching into that surf when it wasn’t that bad. Typically you can’t walk out that far and most tourists shouldn’t. Hope she got out ok.

Probably be ok for fresh water but gotta think it’s going to rust up on you like the Tin Man unless you oil the crap out of it.

Yes. Sand Harbor is a nice place to paddle. A few years ago I circumnavigated the lake (3 days). There are a lot of gorgeous places to paddle but if you’re looking for those big boulders that is Sand Harbor

Nice pic but thatÂ’s not ARW. The rock wall was added when they filled the west end for the Naval Air Station.

Cool pic but that’s not ARC. The rock wall was added later when they added fill for the Naval Air Station.
