Everything good, fared far better than the quake 2 years ago.

Took my hand at Abking style estimation and nailed it.  About 7.0, not too close to land, close offshore cape Mendocino.

The response to the evacuation order was pretty appalling with traffic gridlock and people trying to go gather pets and belongings from inside the tsunami zone.  Doesn’t bode well for in the event of an actual tsunami emergency.

If swell period in seconds <= .5(swell height in feet) and swell height in feet + wind in knots <= 15 then fish, else beer.

Mr. X, I hope you stay. I agree that we all make mistakes, but we should always be willing to learn from our own or others' mistakes.
Calling Ch. 16 is like calling 911 to check your cell phone. 

Paul

Meanwhile pilots are out here meowing on guard.

Radio transmission has become increasingly sloppy across marine and aviation bands.  What X did is in no way an intentional breach of protocol, and there is a considerable language barrier.  Gentle correction is a much better approach.  Calling 911 to check safety equipment isn't a proper use.  Calling to prank order a pizza is criminal use.  There is a difference.  We should cut the guy some slack.  Especially with pilots mewing on guard.  Those guys should get keelhauled.

My names Jacob. I just purchased my first kayak, a new to me Hobie 9ft mirage sport. Been out twice and both times were beautiful; I can’t wait to get back out before our Humboldt weather starts getting less than stellar.

No catches from the bay yet; a few bites here and there though. Haven’t really be focused on the fishing aspect as much since I’ve never been on a kayak in my adult life, but I’m hoping to get something on the boat soon.

Two questions:
Do I need a fish descender in the bay if I’m fishing near shore?
Can I have two rods on my kayak for trolling and casting? And if so, could I keep a third collapsible rod on the boat with the descender attached?

Thanks lads! Tight lines.

Jacob

Welcome.

Yes you should always have a descending device ready.  I use a handline spool with dacron and a shelton pin with 3 lead weights totaling 5 lbs at the ready, although in the bay you'll never use any of it.  It's a technicallity, just like having a net.  I keep a release right net which meets the legal requirement, but exclusively use fish grips or a gaff to land fish.  Except salmon.  You need a big ass proper net for salmon.

This is awesome! Thanks for the info Paul

I also associated my wife's account and was able to display her license information.
Hopefully, someone can develop a fish identification app linked to the applicable regulations.
By taking a photo of a fish, it can tell species, size, (automatically capture GPS coordinate and date) and tell me if I can keep the fish or not and how many.
May be an excellent joint retirement project.

I'm not exactly a Luddite, but this is a bridge too far.  GPS punch tags, sure.  ODFW already does this.  But fish ID with instant regulation information?  How about learn how to target and ID fish yourself?

Pretty soon there will be apps where we can take a photo of a potential partner we meet and learn all about them.  Credit score?  Infidelity? STDs?  Is she even 18? 

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.  I'm going to go yell at clouds now.

In 1982 there were 29,625,515 pounds taken.  :smt009

Is that in addition to the millions of kgs that the Chinese and Russian trawlers took?

I would attend, even though I can't kayak anymore.  Especially if Crash can take orders for oysters!
Too soon to preemptively reserve a campsite or hotel room?

Been watching this thread with interest.  I might come out of retirement for this event.  I haven’t bought more than 3 dozen oysters at one time since the last GS, would need to check sources and prices but yes, I can bring the oysters assuming availability.

Loleta - it's my home town.  As opposed to the 'other' Lolita meaning...   :smt002

Nabokov wrote Lolita in English. That has always struck me as odd given the far more conservative prudishness of the English speaking world both then and now.  Would the book have been nearly as controversial if it were in French or Russian?

“Pyramid Point SMCA boundary is in Oregon”.

This has always amused me ever since they did it.  Oregon isn’t even complaining, it’s the local tribe asking for it to change.

The F&G Commission hired a consulting firm to train staff, and commissioners on JEDI. I watched their presentation, and listened to the public comments. The commenters stated that only 5% of the general public hunt, or fish. So to them JEDI meant that the commission members should reflect the general public and be 95% non-hunters, or fishers.

Success!
