Hey everyone,
I'm planning to do some fishing on the morning of April 23rd, and thought it would be fun to meet up with some other folks. I had been thinking of chasing halibut either at ARW or the flats, but it looks like the tide swings are pretty huge that morning. The bay might be chocolate milk... So maybe something else?

~Launch at Bolinas and chase salmon? I have yet to try for salmon, but that needs to happen SOON. I have sonar, and I'm comfortable in the open ocean.
~Trout troll in a nearby lake?
~Stripers?

I'm open to any ideas, and I've probably got the gear for whatever we might decide to try.

So where are you all fishing on the morning of the 23rd?
 
Happy Thursday.

What's up everyone?

I just stumbled across this site a couple weeks ago, and figured I'd join in. It looks like there is a plethora of information here for me to soak up, and maybe I can even offer a tip or two of my own. I've done quite a bit of halibut/rockfish/lingcod fishing from my kayak down near San Luis Obispo, and now I'm looking forward to getting back out on the water here in the Bay Area. I'm an artificial lure guy about 95% of the time... I pretty much only throw 4-7" swimbaits, and they seem to do just fine for most of my saltwater endeavors for halibut and rockfish.

My yak's getting some much needed improvements this weekend (sonar, anchor and trolley, extra RAM rod holder, etc). After that, I hope to explore the bay in search of halibut until May 15th rolls around, then search out some good rocky shoreline for my lingcod fix. 

Anyway, just thought I'd say hi.

Happy Saturday,

~Alex
