Hi James,
Are you paddle or peddle? Either way, 4-6oz banana weight with a cut plug herring, fbr, krippled anchovy/salted anchovy (with a bend so it spins) or watermelon apex has worked well out here. You can experiment with a flasher (red hot spot dodger or a white spinning flasher). Flasher will add drag, so it’s easier if you have a downrigger. I use one occasionally if I’m trying to get down deep. But if they are not too deep (<35ft) then it’s one more thing to get caught up in, and I prefer the banana weight. Check bait every 10-15mins to make sure presentation is good. Look for birds or dolphins to clue you in on where the bait is.

Toughest part is figuring out how far off and deep they are, and for that your best bet is looking for other boats or calling around.

Have fun! It can be very frustrating but it’s very rewarding to land your first salmon. As well as every salmon after that!

Yeah, that looks like a cover for the fuse, can just remove it.  Although you might want a fuse if your not putting your battery in a box, if it's 10$ just cut away the corroded part and put a new terminal on, should work fine.

If I’m not putting the battery in a box, is the concern that the battery would short out the head unit, or more worried about the battery?

Hey guys,
The power cable broke on my fish finder right below this yellow thing. Does anyone know what that part does? I could get a replacement cable for $20, but I was wondering if anyone had a cheap and easy fix (like just connect below where it broke, without the yellow thing). Thanks for any help!

As I understand it, you shouldn’t eat the guts of bivalves from May-Dec. mussels, and many clams are eaten whole, but scallops and bigger clams (horseneck, maybe Washington) can be eaten by only eating the meat and not the guts, so I would think those are fine. Is anyone else is under this impression?

I would probably also avoid the bay, but if you are only eating muscle I don’t think it would matter as much.

Main gate is always open. The gate before the day use parking area opens at 7. The self pay is no longer at the gate, but a machine by the boat launch. We were there today and it was slow as hell even for the boaters. We followed the fleet about 5 miles to the fishing ground, but didn’t see any of them bagging fish.

heard South of Goat Rock was the spot ,150'- 175'  off shore . a ways from BB for sure

Why not launch from goat rock beach if that’s the case?

Hey Blake, nice to meet you! Welcome to the madness. Tight lines.

Interested in the lead too when it comes on sale.

Hey NCKA,
My friend is looking into getting a kayak for the summer, and was wondering if people thought this was a good deal? $1400 for a 2005 outback w/ original mirage drive. Comes with some attachments. Any advice appreciated.
