Nice that it is so unusual……ie rare!

Name that predator.
Was at Nick's cove a couple of weeks ago and saw the most amazing pelican attack.  It went on for at least 45 minutes, moving up against the shore and then out a bit. there were scores of birds. The water is pretty shallow thru here.
I assume there was a large number of anchovies being herded, but I don't know what was chasing them.  I didn't see any seals in the water so I assume it was halibut or salmon but there are probably a lot more halibut around.  I used to fish a good sized run of coho in the bay years back.
Sorry for the fuzzy pictures. I only had my iPhone.
I was out having an anniversary dinner and fishing was out of the question.
Any one ever fish conditions like this or know what was happening?

Just saw this on craigslist.  Looks too good to be true.

Check it out and let me know.   Which model and length is it.

No longer using this https://www.amazon.com/Sevylor-Tahiti-Classic-Inflatable-Kayak/dp/B003652EY6, many years old, but no leaks or obvious wear.  It was stored in a duffel in my garage. Complete, but no paddle.  Great for beach, lake and slow stream play with kids.
I'm in Novato. PM me if you want to pick it up.

Looks dangerous.  Wonder if anyone has been bitten by one.

I am installing an Elite 4 HDI unit on my Trident 13. I called Lowrance Tech Support about a transducer issue.  He said that going "Thru Hull" would degrade the downscan performance by 40%.  Has anyone noticed this on theirs, and how bad is it? I don't see how I could put the transducer under the kayak and land on a beach.

I'm in Marin and want to fish the ocean some more.  I've never gone out looking for sand dabs, but with salmon, crabs, and rockfish closed, I am wondering if there are any reasonable places to target sand dabs in a kayak from Marin and Sonoma, which are not too far off shore, or deep. 
Has anyone had much experience with this?

What is the earliest time or day you can drop your crab pots before or on the opening day? I assume the earliest you can pull them is 1/2 hour before sunrise.  Is this true?  It looks like there will only be a week of crabbing before the commercial season this year. Notfair!  Why is this?  When can the commercials drop their pots?
