That's unfortunate.  You may be the ones making the mistakes, but everyone here is learning from Tedski's responses.  That's valuable.

And now, back to our sponser… :smt005

1.5 hours before and after a king tide low facing the current.  This is my only thought process of how I’m going to get the bait to stick to the bottom.  My wife hand snapped my heavier wt.  fly rod back in the early years when I was learning how to be a husband.  I still have a hefty fly reel.  Hmmmm, how to keep the bait stationary on the bottom?

 :smt006

It's not like it is flyfishing anymore.  The fun would be in landing one on a single speed reel.  Just do that on a regular rod using your fly reel with conventional terminal tackle and bait.

I have this Canadian style mooching setup that would be perfect for this, long whippy rod with a single speed reel.  The rod actually has a bit of backbone to it.

I encourage you to taste as you go, over several years even.  It's amazing how something that tastes like shit can end up pretty damn good after a couple years.

How about that white king?!  I've caught a couple at the Cove.  "Bait eater", a local said when he saw it.

White kings aren't white because of diet.  It is a genetic variation that cause them not to be able to process carotenes correctly.  I brought a few filets home from Kodiak recently.

It looks to be written under the commercial phrasing.

I did not see the sentence above the commercial paragraph.

Bummer

What "commercial paragraph"?

And, we need to distinguish between commercial crabbers and commercial passenger fishing vessels.

Does that look like a commercial consideration, which would still be a blow…

What do you mean by "commercial consideration"?

From the original post ... "proposed rulemaking to amend recreational crab gear regulations".

Reports on CS are starting to get interesting... seems pretty good off of HMB ~30 miles out for albacore. 

Wanted to ask the group, seems like this thread is decent without too much of a threadjack... Given the albacore are apparently hitting live bait (at least from the charter reports), what would be the main challenge in a mothership trip for albacore, pending you could book something like that?  It may be a bit expensive and somewhat logistically challenging, but assuming you get past that part, do you think it would be too difficult to get the boat where it needs to be, deploy the kayaks, and fish, or do you think the need to cover ground would make this idea stupid and just a method to spend all your money staying in one spot not catching shit?

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.

If you book a trip with Tyja and need another passenger I'm down to go.

I have one open spot with him on Saturday Sept 14.  Yours if you want it.

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?

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