You are right it is July 9th.  I should have confirmed before posting.  I will be moving to the Beaverton area.  Will you be making the trip up?

Thank you Darius, it will be a crazy journey, I will be driving a u haul pulling my wife's Jetta.  A little nervous to go over the Siskiyou pass 

It will be my 4th ORC.  A few LCKA folk will be there, we've been making the trip and Depoe Bay is a great place to fish out of.  Its a great event.

What day are you heading over Siskiyou pass?

Awesome!  Well i look forward to meeting you crash.  I will be heading over on the 27th of this month. 

Hello NCKA!

I will be moving back to Oregon to be closer to family.  I know i have not met many of you but i have learned a lot from all of you.  I have been on this site nearly every day for the last 6 months but have not posted a lot.  I have enjoyed learning from you all and am excited to take what i have learned and use the skills in Oregon.  I have joined NWKA and have enjoyed a similar forum.  They don't post as much as NorCal but still have great info.  If any of you guys come to Oregon drop me a message and i would be happy to go fishing with you all.  Also, the Oregon Rock Fishing Championship is in June and it seems to be a really cool tournament.  Hope some of you will make the trip up.

Have a great day!

I am also from Modesto areas and recently purchased a kayak.  We should meet up sometime and check out the local areas.  I dont get out enough to make it to the coast and would like going local.

Hello All,

After having my car break down i am on a budget and need to stay close to home.  My new car does not have a roof rack so i am going to put the foam pads on top of the car until i can afford a roof rack.  Therefore, I can not travel too far.  I currently live in Modesto and have always wondered about the fishing off the San Joaquin and the Tuolomne river.  I often see people riding there bikes with fishing poles and assume they are fishing at one of those two rivers.   I beleive that it is bass, catfish, and carp.  Does anyone have any tips or suggestions on the river or how to catch the species that live in it?  Any tips or advice would be great.

Hope everyone is having a good day!

Zach

Sorry it has taken me so long to post my report.  A rod in my engine broke on the way home so i have been working on getting a new car. 

The trip was fun.  I drove out to Pebble Beach and got there at 6:30 in the morning.  It took me a while to get ready as this was my first launch.  I was followed by a harbor seal for thge first hour and a half of fishing.  I went north of bird poop rock and fished in the kelp for about 2 hours and then moved to the south side of the cove.  I did not fish very well.  Only a couple rock fish.  I got caught up on the bottom and had trouble finding the fish.  I began to get a little seasick so i decided to head in at around 11.  I hope to get back out there soon.  Hoping that a new car doesnt kill my budget and time to get out on the water.  I saw a group out on the water sunday.  Hope everyone had a safe journey

I have practiced I took the yak to Modesto reservoir for a half an hour of play. I can't make it up to Santa cruz. I am doing a half day as well and have to be in Carmel for lunch. if you don't have the funds I can refund your pass. It is worth a fishing partner for the day. I am a newbie  and would not mind someone with experience joining me. I am planning on being there at 6:30 and launching near 7

Thanks for your help!  If i am reading that correctly then as long as i stay within the bay i should be safe to go after rockfish and ling cod.  Does anyone have any tips on where to paddle from launch to get to a good area?  I have read that if you head north from the pier that there are better reefs then the soutside.  I was able to purchase the radio and other essentials to be safe.  The fishfinder will have to wait until later when i have the proper funds to purchase.  Therefore, any tips will help!  I have been told that if i find kelp then i have found rock structure.  Is that generally the case?

Thank you for your help

The wife put a stop to me going on Sunday because that is the day we check out of the hotel.  I am locked in for Saturday.  Anyone available to go fishing?
