Thanks all for the weather and fishing tips!

I was using the forecast at Cowells beach which looked more promising: https://www.surfline.com/surf-report/cowells/5842041f4e65fad6a7708806?camId=58349794e411dc743a5d527f

I was surprised to see the small craft advisory on Saturday on marine.weather.gov, looks like I need to keep a closer eye on the offshore wind. I've bookmarked the other sites and I'll keep an eye on the forecast before heading out.

Hi Sharkie!

I'm glad you found a place for your boat. If you have any trips planned over the weekends I'd love an opportunity to deckhand and get out on the water.

I'm not experienced (in fishing or boating) but I'm coachable and I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty. You can send me a message if you're interested.

You can park across the street, there's a dirt lot there, or along the side of the road if you arrive early enough.

I usually fish off the jetty rather than crab but I've seen people crabbing. I'd say around halfway to the "bend" is a good place to start. At low tide, you can walk out quite a ways on the sand on the harbor side before you start making your way across the rocks.

The tide isn't much of an issue but keep an eye on the surf forecast. Waves will break over the whole jetty when the surf is high. 3-5' swells is ok.

Also keep an eye out for snags. Keep the rod tip up as you're bringing your snares in or they'll get hung up. There's lots of mussels etc. on the rock there
